How can it be December already? It seems like just yesterday that we were planning for 2016 to arrive and now here we are on the cusp of 2017! Egads, well, I guess we should look to see what December's GGKCRAFTYPAD has in store. This month our theme is centred around Christmas, Advent, winter. After all, it's the most wonderful time of the year. Let's look at the December 2016 Geeky Girls Knit Crafty Photo A Day Challenge prompts list.
What does ______ mean?
WIP = Work In Progress
#WIDN = What I'm Doing Now
FO = Finished Object
So, how can you participate???? Well, there are actually several ways: INSTAGRAM - Instagram is the primary arena for participating in this challenge. Simply take your photo, add a caption to it, tag it with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD and share it. By adding the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD , others who are participating will be able to see the pictures that have been shared for the daily prompts. C.C. is on Instagram as cc_almon & Dami is on Instagram as damisdoodles so make sure to follow them if you haven't already.
TWITTER - You can also share on Twitter by taking a photo and uploading it to Twitter along with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD . Follow us on Twitter as cc_almon and damisdoodles.
FACEBOOK - Feel free to share with your friends on your own Facebook profile page or on our Facebook page.
OTHER PLACES - Feel free to share your photos other places like your own blog, Ravelry, Tumblr, Flickr, etc. Be creative and then tell us about it! :-)
How will you remember what the daily prompts are???? Again, there are several ways:
~Save the image above to your phone or your computer and check it daily. Maybe even make it your wallpaper.
~Bookmark this post in your web browser and come back daily for the next prompt.
~Save this monthly Google Calendar as a bookmark in your web browser or even add the Google Calendar to your own Google Calendars.
~Follow us on Instagram as cc_almon, on Instagram as damisdoodles and/or on Twitter as cc_almon and on Twitter as damisdoodles as we'll be posting the prompt for that day at some point during the day.
Most of all, we just want to encourage you to be creative. We hope this is as fun for yall as it is for us!!! Can't wait to see your photos!
And don't forget, each week, we will choose our 5 favourite photos from Instagram and they will be shared in the podcast and show notes for the podcast following that prompt. There are so many great photos and we can't pick all of them, but we love looking at everyone's!

Ask the Geeky Girls - Sarah (Yarnthusiast) from Washington asks:
Hey ladies! This question is mostly for C.C. Although if Dami has any input, I’d be happy to hear it. C.C., you have mentioned that you wear a lot of maxi skirts. What brands are your favorites and why? I am wanting to move towards skirts and dresses as the core of my wardrobe, so I’m interested to hear what you have to say. Thanks!!!
