the words for this week’s Weekly Word Challenge are “keys” and “phone”. As Tink always said, “Happy snapping!”

Car key…w/house & mail box keys

old American tourister key on left, old house key (called skeleton key) on right

front of phone with Wolfie!

Inside of phone…what would your wish be?

In honor of Mardi Gras, the words for this week’s Weekly Word Challenge are “beads” and “costume”. As Tink always said, “Happy snapping!”

beads of amber and white

beads on sticks!

interesting costume

and since the Winter Olympics are on, I thought a shot I took of Johnny Weir in costume at the 2007 Marshalls U.S. Figure Skating Showcase would be in order.

Did you play?

This week the words are “food” and “drink”. As Tink always said, “Happy snapping!”

food and drink in one!

This week the words are “chip” and “new”. As Tink always said, “Happy snapping!”

Don’t you hate when a favorite mug gets a chip?

I love me some Frito Corn Chips!

This is a new coffee mug I received as a Christmas gift…I hope it doesn’t get a chip!

***UPDATED***

Head Spork is an IDIOT! The words this week are Red and 5, the last words set by Tink; the words for NEXT week are Chip and New. DOH! So I’m taking down the pics that I put up and putting up ones for Red and 5 and leaving the explanation for “head spork” LOL!

Pretty red box…btw, thank you, my friend, for the lovely silver angel!!!

A coin my boss gave me long ago, when I worked for 5th Air Force at Yokota AB in Japan

“It’s with a heavy heart that I announce the end of the Weekly Words Challenge. It’s been a great few years and I’ve really enjoyed the experience with you guys. I just don’t have the time or energy right now to host it like I should. So, this will be the last week that I post words. I’ll leave the site up though, in case anyone wants to post a challenge or if I get a wild hair and post one myself. As always… Happy snapping! ”

So I volunteered to take over…and Tink said:

“Well that’s excellent, Janet! I wish I would have asked you sooner. In all honesty, you’re the perfect person for the job. I didn’t want to ask and then you feel obligated to take it if you didn’t want it. I’ve made you an admin on the WWC FB page/ [let me know if anyone would like to join the Facebook page-JS] , as well as given you the “Head Spork” status.”

Here’s the link to the Word Announcements 2010 over on Flickr; I’ll post new words (always two) each Monday both on Flickr & Facebook.
