A
HUGE big welcome to you all and YAYYYYYYYYYY, the time has come for me
to unleash and launch my wonderful Eclectics into the cyber world of
blogland challenges. It has felt like an eternity for us all.
If
you remember, a few weeks ago I was looking for DT's for a fortnightly
challenge blog. I had 20 applications and I could not choose only a few so I
decided to take them all on and separate them into 2 teams - The PINK
and PURPLE teams. The PINK team is headed by me and the PURPLE
team is headed by Paula - another really talented girlie.
The fortnightly challenges have now become weekly challenges. Double the fun, I say and the bonus for me is double the wonderful girlies I now have the privilege of knowing. They are all extremely talented and I am so so proud of them. PS, they have to put up with me (there is always a downside, huh!)

Another plus side is there will be TWO FIRST ever challenges - well, we can't have the PURPLE team feeling left out of having a first challenge, can we? lol
Our
new challenge blog is all about FUN, FUN, FUN. We are purely a badge
awarding challenge blog rather than being sponsored. The reason for
this is I do not want to restrict my Eclectics creativity whilst giving
you inspiration.
Anyone
wanting to join in our weekly challenges has the autonomy, as do my
girlies, to create whatever they wish just as long as it fits the theme
for that week.
The challenge rules are set out (briefly) in the right hand side bar and full set of rules on a separate page at the top. Also, as you will notice, there are pages for winners and a selection of badges. I like choices. LOL Maximum entries of 3.
I will also add that the DT's can enter the challenge but will not be eligible for badges - they deserve to have fun, too!

Winners
will be picked by the challenge host for their week. NO RANDOM ORG
allowed on this blog, no matter how many entries. There will be a top
five for each one hundred entries (I am being a little optimistic!)
Anyway,
once again I would like to welcome you all to our world and hope you
all have fun in doing what you all do best... CREATE, CREATE, CREATE!
The theme for our FIRST ever ECLECTIC ELLAPU's challenge for the PINK team, hosted by moi, is (drum roll please... LOL)
ANYTHING GOES
(how predictable was that! LOL My imagination knows no bounds!)
And without further adieu, I would like to introduce you to The PINK Team with their inspiration
for this week. I am not going to apologize for the pic overload - their
projects are worth highlighting and showing off.
