[Sashana]

A+ for effort, Jackie! I hope you enjoy December's challenge- it's really different from what we usually do.

I only was able to complete 14 out of 18, but it was really fun to try. :D

[Sashana]

I like the way you said only, Melissa. 14 is a lot! Girl, you are a winner in my eyes (seriously).

[Melissa (ladybug)]

[Jackie]

Thanks, Sashana! I kind of over-extended myself with challenges. I want to do them all!

[Jex]

@Jackie - I think we're all like that in this group :-P

[Sashana]

If you guys want to do them all then I guess we're doing something right ;)

[Melissa (ladybug)]

To me, look like Aramaic or Hebrew writing. Weird that! I tried to edit, and in the edit screen is stars. But went back to weird when I clicked edit post.

[Lisa Kay]

Hummm. Well, GRs was acting a little wonky for one of my posts, too. Earlier. I was getting %@ type symbols for a bullet. But it went away. Just so you know, the stars look fine to me. Copied the following from your post.

hehe, stars didn't come out there either. :p, looks like my post. oh well, since just I have problems seeing correctly will just laugh and call it computer problems.

huh, Melissa..no stars? *can see them perfectly*

[Melissa (ladybug)]

yes, everyone else (but me) can see stars. Since that is what I want everyone (even me, lol) to see, I am just going to laugh and hope it corrects itself.
