DSD GAME | ^ < v

[Hillary]

Are you guys getting pumped up for the weekend?! Things are rocking and rolling here with all of our games and the challenges that keep popping up, and it is only getting better!


Today I would like to introduce you to the ^ < v game. Participants play this game as follows:

^ -- you respond to the fact above by either denying or confirming (e.g. "yes, that's true, I have been to Europe!")
< -- you state an actual fact about yourself (e.g. "I love to go camping")
v -- guess a fact about the person below (e.g. "probably hates pie")
...and so on ...and so on...


THE BEST PART? Anyone who participates in this game throughout our week-long DSD celebration (Sept 25--Oct 2) will be entered to win $5 to spend in Tracie Stroud's shop here at TDP!

I will start us off based off of the example.

^ -- I know that is totally un-American, but I hate apple pie. I do like most other flavors though, especially chocolate.
< -- I have a serious Potato Chip addiction.
v -- Only knows one way to get to her house, and is lost if she tries to go different ways.

[Kiana]

^ - nope, I knew a few ways to get to my house, thankfully lol
< - I am a pen hoarder
v - Found a new product that she's just gotta have this weekend!

< I drink both hot and cold drinks at the same time
V most likely will not get enough sleep this weekend!

< Are loving this week as there is just me and my partner at home. Heaven!!
V Has a wishlist a mile long in the store and is wondering just what discounts will be offered to maximise purchases.

[Hillary]

Ohhh a quiet house makes for a great DSD weekend!

[lorryfach]

^ - haven't had a chance to build up my list much but I'm working on it
< - I like to crochet
v - is wearing striped socks

[Hillary]

My mom tried to teach me to crochet, but I never quite caught on. I always love to see the blankets that people crochet though, and wish that I could do it.

[corrin]

They are not as hard to find in America. LOL

[alanna.hart]

^Yes!! Almost there!
< is drinking coffee and is supposed to be organizing her day
v is able to figure out where the up and down symbols are faster than me!

[Kiana]

^ - only because I've used them before
< - is procrastinating
v - doesn't feel like waking up

[Sondra]

^ I attended nursing school last year, and even after graduating, I still get up EARLY...and don't sleep much at all! I'm used to studying night and day!
< I love the shows Longmire and Hell on Wheels
v I bet this person ADORES chocolate!

[Kiana]

^ - I really do love chocolate rofl
< - is listening to lots of music today
v - has a written to do list sitting on her desk

[Hillary]

I hope your music is accompanied by scrapping.

[jazzmom21]

^ Nope. I'm not that organized.
< I'm trying to get a jump on all the DSD happenings around the web, as my brother whom I haven't seen in about 8 years is coming for the weekend to visit! (it would have to be this weekend!! LOL!)
v prefers tea over coffee

[Hillary]

What bad timing! I am sure you will enjoy him as much as hanging out with us and scrapping though.

[Stefanie]

^ Indeed, I love my tea with milk, orange tea is my fav.
< Finally have all of my CT requirements up to date and can start playing
V prefers pizza to chinese food take-away?

[Hillary]

Yay, for finally getting to just play!

[caliten]

^ not really, but mostly because the homemade versions really do taste that much better
< is really looking forward to decorating for fall and Halloween
v will complete all the DSD and monthly challenges during the first week of October.

[Hillary]

I love decorating for Halloween too, but my boys always enjoy the decorations too much and I end up taking them down early.

[caliten]

Hillary I usually try to go with something that I can just edit a little in the days after Halloween because I lack the motivation to decorate twice. A few years ago I decoupaged dictionary pages to a bunch of pumpkins and painted a grape leaf wreath black.....so decorating for me primarily involves getting those things out, then swapping out ribbons on them at the end of October. And I'll put up orange flicker lights on the mantle....and they'll stay there until I decorate for Christmas.
