Anyone interested in a 2017 HF Challenge?  I don't mind creating one if people are interested.  Unless someone else would like to take a stab at it....

I'm always up for a challenge Carolyn but I don't feel like I should offer to host because of health issues.

Awesome!  I'll start coming up with a challenge.  

Anyone have any categories they like/don't like that they want included (or not included)?

Carolyn - you may want to include historical mysteries as I won't be doing the HM challenge this year.

I can do a historical mystery challenge. Jeanne can you still make Banners. I have a long list of categories I wrote out from Last year. Unless someone else wants to do it.

Alice, I will try to do banners. Ever since DH fixed my PC, I'm not sure if things work the way they used to but I'll give it a try!

OH! BTW, thanks so much for doing this!!!!

Glad to see the historical mystery challenge continuing, too.  I hope that you will continue to participate Jeanne.  I find many of my best reads in that area come from you or Alice.  Congratulations Alice on taking up the reins!

Here are a few I made - see if you like them or if they work for you. Remember to save whichever one you want to your pics on your PC and then when you go to settings in your account, browse your pics and insert them that way - unless some of you have a quicker and better way to do this.

Love them Jeanne. I will post the new Historical mystery challenge Thanksgiving week. I am on vacation then and it will give me time to get it ready

Carolyn - since I've playing around with banners a good part of the day, I thought I would see if you are interested in any of these. You won't hurt my feelings if you don't like them.

Jeanne,

I don't see any banners frown.  Is it just me?

Wow, I don't know what the problem is. I see them -but maybe it's just ME!!! Carolyn -can you see the banners I made in the other post about challenges? I know Alice saw those I made in the M/T forum.

Whoops! they are in this post/thread. You probably don't see those either, right? How about the rest of you folks?

I don't see any new banners.  I see all the banners that people have on their signatures, but that's it.

Carolyn - can you see this banner? I'm trying to post them differently and I want to see if this one works.

That's odd - I could see them earlier this morning, but now I only see the file names.

I can see them all!  I'd join in the HF Mystery challenge for sure.  Maybe the other one too.....not sure I read enough HF to do 2 challenges!
