Thanks for signing up!
It's Danielle Your Mod sending you a friendly message about our monthly challenges. Life has gotten really busy for me (I'm back in school full time, working on an illustration degree, so I have lots of homework!). I definitely want to keep the monthly challenges going, if there's interest. So I've decided to make them more user-friendly to assemble (and some variability that members might enjoy as well).
Each month I'll post a word bank, and the participants can create their own challenges based on the words/phrases they choose. The other rules are pretty much the same.
If you have suggestions challenges, feel free to comment below!
