An Alphabetical August Side Challenge?

edit to add:

The seperate thread for posting to is just over here:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

I never did get involved in a July side challenge.
So, I propose this as a side challenge for the month of August:

A-Z and 0-9.....aka The Alphabet and Numbers challenge.

Drawing inspiration from these images found over at PBase.com

And from an earlier challenge: Accidental Letters

The challenge would be to find the letters A to Z and the numbers 0 to 9 within 31 60 days.
Obviously there are going to be 36 different photos, so posting more than one a day is no longer required.

Whether your letters (and numbers) are "accidental" or "by design" is entirely up to you.

Whaddya say?

edit to add that due to popular demand this challenge has been extended to 60 days instead of the usual 30

hmmm..I might be in. have to think about it. looks fun and challenging...perhaps a bit too challenging though for August with my daughter starting school, my anniversary and some other big things going on. I do think it's a great idea though.....hmmmm.

This sounds right up my alley. I may not get it done that quickly, but the project is one I'd like to do.

Here's my 10 -

The fork would only cover "E" "W" "M" and "3" :-)

Touche avec forchette!

ETA: It took a nap to remind me that the french word for 'with' is 'avec' and not 'con'. :P

As fascinating as this sounds, coming up with just the proper letter each day sounds like more of a challenge than I am up for. Especially since some days we would need more than 1. Someday I might start a project like this, but this is going to be a busy crazy month for me as I have to go to Idaho to get my daughter after summer vacation, and the family i spreading my fathers ashes that week as well.

I'm thinking about this. Maybe 60 days of Alphabet is a more achievable goal. If I get half done I'll be happy. If that doesn't seem like a cop-out I'm in.

I'm thinking no since 'they' are being lenient on the Accidental rule.

I'm thinking that there will might some tough letters to get. Might be fun. :)

well, speaking on behalf of "them", there are no rules.
you can submit pictures of babies if you want!!!!!
As for me, I'm just going to be on the look out for letters the whole time and when I find them, I'll submit them.
And if I can't find them, then the challenge will roll over to the next month.

My 30 days of black and white took 60 days to complete.
But I done it by golly.
I done it!!!!!

I'd really love to do a project like this. I can't see myself completing it in August though, especially since I'm already in the 50 challenge and signed up for 30 days of fork. But thanks for a great idea. I will certainly start looking out for shots to put this together some time in the future.

I will be on the lookout for things I could use for this, but will definitely take more than the month of August to complete the project. I guess this could be my "on going" project.

I am in for this one. This will be my first 30 days side challenge. I am working with my 3 year old on learning his letters right now. I think this will make it interesting for both of us. I can have this part of our daily "lessons". Plus when the month is over we will have a nice big print with all the letters. Great idea!!!
