Congratulations on a fabulous MOC! <3 So, who is ready for a nap? LOL

What was your favorite challenge or LO you created? Do you take naps? When I was younger, I couldn't take naps at all...but now, I can pretty much fall asleep any time, any where. :hammock
 
I'm not sure I can choose a fav challenge, they were all so fabulous!
But, I do choose all the naps! Typically, on the weekend, I plan my day around a nap :giggle. It's like my little reward for doing all the things! I remember feeling so excited when my kids were old enough to fend for themselves for an hour or so while I rested.
 
I probably have three fave challenges, I can’t choose between the three that @MrsPeel @bestcee and @cfile hosted.

Absolutely loved the All about me challenge that Cynthia hosted


Second would be the Tell me a
story challenge that Courtney hosted mainly because it was a great opportunity to scrap a pretty horrible story.


Finally I loved Christa’s clean & simple challenge


Actually now that I think about it, Christa’s clean & simple one was probably my absolute fave but the other two weren’t far behind.

As for napping....any type of sleep or rest is almost my fave thing to do....not necessarily because I want to but due to fatigue. I generally rest most days and generally become more “awake” towards late afternoon.
 
There were so many great challenges but the one that challenged me the most and was a technique I had wanted to try sometime was the 3D sculpture challenge by @AnneofAlamo . I nearly cried when I read it. I thought to myself “no way!”. But perseverance (and a lot of good help here) got me through it and I will definitely try this again - after a whole lot of naps!
 
Napping and scrapping - two of my favourite things LOL!
I haven't had a good nap yet this year! Work has been busy (and there has been MOC)... but my big work project launches next weekend and then I foresee some naps (and lots more scrapping) in my future. ;)

There were so many MOC challenges I loved, but I think @AnneofAlamo extreme shadows was my favorite.
 
I ended up not finishing, which makes me sad, but I had to accept my physical limitations. Of the ones I completed, this was my favorite. I think it's no surprise that I love flowers. :giggle

As far as naps go, I've always taken them because for a long time I just couldn't sleep at night. Now with my adjustable bed, I shouldn't be napping as much, but radiation fatigue is no joke. I'm STILL napping. I will get up and I'm energetic, and then after 3 hours, I hit a wall. :banghead There's no getting around it so I just give in and have a nap. Sometimes it's short but sometimes it's 2 or 3 hours! Oh, but I do love a nap! And if it's raining, ahhhh, bliss! :cloud9

 
I came in here for the naps! Lol. I used to be a champion napper. I would stay up way too late at night and then need a nap during the day on the weekends. Sometimes I used to run home on my lunch hour and sneak a power nap. Now, I don't seem to need them anymore. It's weird.
 
I don't know how to answer. LOL I didn't finish MOC, but I'll bet I would want a nap if I did.

Of the ones I completed, my favorite was the first one (blind scrap). The others were too far out of my comfort zone, although every one of them taught me something that I can apply on future layouts.
 
Totally a napper here too. :faint2
20 mins to 30mins most afternoons if the cats let me.

My fave challenge would have to be Anne's deep shadow one too. It took me such a long time and I used different kits but I had such an amazing sense of accomplishment after it was done.
 
My favorite was the mirror reflection because it was such a fun page to make.

I have never been a napper except in August and September back in Iowa when I would take hay fever meds that would make me drowsy every afternoon. Thank goodness I don’t have hay fever living in the Pacific Northwest.
 
Can I say my favorite challenge was mine? No, just kidding, I don't think I have a favorite.

I do take naps often! I get a half hour lunch at work, so I put on meditation music, set an alarm, & nap. It's especially useful now that we all wake up an hour earlier so I can drop the kids off at my Mom's. So much running on empty.

I dislike picking favorites but I'm not opposed to naps. Generally I don't get around to taking a nap though unless I'm very, very tired.
 
i'm a 'would if i could' nap person, when i want them the most in the afternoons, it's usually when the most is going on & i can't.
As far as MOC, i didn't finish either - i think i did 18 of the challenges but spent longer per page than i would of in a normal MOC year and i really quite liked all the pages i made this year. I think the title made from elements (without alphas or fonts) page that i made for the challenge Liana (yellowpeep) ran, was my fave of the pages i did
 
I only got a few MOC LO’s done as the new puppy took up a lot of my time. I did love the challenge with all the flowers. As for naps, I rarely nap unless I’m sick. I always have a million things I want to do so hate to waste the time.
 
Naps. I can't take them. My mom told me I gave up my naps at 18 months old because I wouldn't sleep that night. It's still that way. If I nap I'll not sleep that night, even if it's just for 5 minutes. I've been in an incurable insomniac all my life and I've learned that I must be on the verge of being tired all day long in order to be able to fall asleep at night, so I make sure I don't get more than 7 hours of sleep a night. Now my husband? He's the King of Naps. Seriously. He flops down on the bed and is OUT. He can do it multiple times a day and still sleep at night. I don't know how he does it!

------------------

This was my favorite challenge - the big shadow one. I simply LOVED looking at what everyone created, too. Everyone's pages were so incredibly imaginative. I'm also thinking that the technique would be a great idea for photobook covers!



And my favorite page is a bit tougher... I like a lot of them, but it's the memory of this page that tugs strongest at my heart. I remember how happy we all were that day and the fun we had exploring underneath the clouds of cherry blossoms. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock and relive it all over again, you know?

 


I love my nap times...me and neelix try taking one at least once a day. He gives me this look around 2 pm and we snuggle in bed and nap at least an hour or two . I always feel so energized and perky after a nap.
Because of my health I get tried easy and worn out so naps help me feel better
I love naps
