Excellent start for everyone - it’s fun to see all the different ideas.

Awesome work, everyone!

I have two more prompts:


#2 stripes

So, at first, I wanted to try to get all my dolls with something stripey into one shot.

Needless to say, I failed. I didn't get everyone stripey into the shot, and not all who are there are visible. Or their stripes aren't visible. Mad Hatter has stripey tights and Cheshire Cat has stripey socks, arm warmers and one layer of skirt. If you wonder what is Frankie doing in there, I count her hair as stripey. I have three Barbies, two Maddies, one Byul, one Bratz and I don't know how many MH dolls with stripes on their clothes, who didn't make it. I also think that Eteri, my Eos, deserves an apology, because while she did make it into the photo, you can only really see her butt. This isn't working.

Attempt no.2!

Toralei has stripes on her dress, on her body, and her surname is Stripe. Doesn't get more stripey than that. We also seem to have a tiger plushie theme going on, so I'm adding mine.


#3 umbrella

This is technically a parasol, but I'm not going to tell you and I'll pretend it's an umbrella.



The radio one will be fun. I don't have one (not even a doll sized one). My parents don't have one. My cousin doesn't have one. My granny doesn't have one. My other granny has one in every room plus some extra, but she lives in Slovakia and I wouldn't travel there just for a dolly photo even if I was allowed to leave the country. So I'm going to make something, but it will probably be closer to the end of the month.

YAY! Great to "see" you, KiraKira!

Welcome to the fun, KiraKira! Neon, your stripey army certainly wasn't a fail!
I'll try to get a few more prompts up this weekend.

Looks like I am going to have to come up with more ideas than I thought...  LOL
Here are the next few:

[Image: 49736708911_77c5670695_o.jpg]
A button!  *The pin-on kind*


[Image: 49736708966_7e38a510d0_o.jpg]
An interesting bottle.
This one was used in Sunsette's 2016 movie "Past Tense", and was nearly washed out to sea in the process!  Natalie played a magic fairy.

A cancelled stamp!
(You know, those things you used to write to friends with, before it was all on facebook xp )


[Image: 49736708621_6e88f8662e_z.jpg]
(Someone has a bit of a crush)
A doll, figure, or toy that is blue!

Have fun! smile

I did the first part of the hunt today (it's cold and wet outside).

Shortage? What shortage?

These are Toni's favourite socks. They're stripey and they're in the colours of a stripey cat.

It looks like it's raining outside. Just as well I have my umbrella with me.

Finn likes his radios old school.

Great batches, you guys!

And more challenge! Again with things I don't have (our post doesn't really use... darn. English calls them both stamp, so I can't say they don't use stamps because they mostly use stamps these days. Huh. They don't really use the glue-on picture type of stamps on most letters, you can still get them, but nobody bothers, most of the correspondence has the ink on rubber matrix with handle type of stamps, so I don't have any of those glue-on picture ones. Whew).

Would completely ordinary, run-of-the-mill, garden variety, universally common milk bottle, but with Czech label, count as interesting? xp Just kidding, I'll try to find something more interesting.

Everyone's pictures are so fantastic! This is a bit of a fun way to spend time, got to admit.

We're having difficulty with 'stamp' and 'bottle' so we'll get back to those... Oh, also Basil has decided he will do as many of these as he can. Because he likes sniffing things out. (His words, his bad puns.)

Most of our letter mail has those pre-printed rubber & ink stamps too, I was fortunate to have received  a small parcel in the mail recently that used lick-and-stick picture stamps and I hadn’t thrown out the packaging yet.

 Guess that’s why it’s a challenge - not everyone will have access to all the different items.

(Also, pity us  LOL LOL  We have to find two of everything... )

Cheers to Lejays & Elfy!  LOL, I hope you don't have to use up that premium TP stash -- that made me laugh.  And the cross-stitch is sweet.  Finn would like my out of date 'old school' electronics, I'm sure.
It will be fun to see what Stitch can find; somehow this seems right up his alley -- rummaging around looking for things?  LOL

Aww, neon, I'm sorry sad  I want it to be fun, not frustrating.  It's hard to know what everyone will have access to, and also tricky to balance too-easy with too-hard.  werepuppy, you have all month. You guys are creative... I believe you'll find something that works wink
If it helps, I did ex-pect the stamp to present a challenge given how few people write real letters anymore.  I am a curiosity at the post office when I take my letters to penpals in.
And yes, a bottle with a Czech label would be interesting to the rest of us who don't live there!

Great photos, guys!!

I did three of the new items! 

I am not sure if there is a single used stamp in this entire house....but I'm going to look. I get letters from online friends occasionally, but it's always packaged in a package because it's usually with Christmas or birthday gifts. I don't think I've gotten a letter by itself in, gosh, six or so years. I might have SOMETHING somewhere, we'll see. 

But for now I went ahead and did the others!

#1: A button.

I actually collect buttons myself, and have hundreds of interesting ones, but for this I figured I'd use one that solely belongs to my dolls and also spreads a good message. <3 So here's Ardyn with my 'Black Dolls Matter' button. 

#2: An interesting bottle.

Here, you can have two! These are bottles for Ramune, a soft drink from Japan. I used to collect them, but I threw most of them away when I moved. Here are two anime themed ones with my resident weeaboo, Ainsley. Ramune is sealed with a glass marble, and when you want to open it you have to use the little popper it comes with to press and pop the marble out of place and unseal the drink! The marble then sits inside and rolls around its little spot towards the top of the bottle while you drink!

#4: SomeONE blue.

Here's Noir with one of my mini Living Dead Dolls, one of the munchkins. She thinks he's rather cute.

DeadlyNova, those are amazing! I love the button and Noir with LDD, and those bottles are fun!

Lejays, I think that you can up the challenge to find two of each prompt if you like, but I think we all would be fine with you both using the same one, as it would be interesting to see two different takes on the same thing.

No worries! I'm not frustrated! The fun thing about the stamp is that eventhough we have some physical letters coming on regular basis, they don't have that kind of stamps anymore (and I also wanted to rant about English LOL). Solving the prompts I don't have is fun, so, keep'em coming!
