THE ECLECTICS HAVE LANDED ....

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. 


 Please enter your creation into Miss Linky below - yes she is female here no matter what anyone says!  Please link your project back to ECLECTIC ELLAPU and most of all have fun!
