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.

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 - Jenni (JenniFerReals) from Missouri asks:
What are the plans for your podcast when Dami goes to school? I’m curious if you’re going to change your day or if we’re only going to get to see Dami during school breaks or what?
AND!!!!
Shirley (Shirleyknits123) from Virginia asks:
Will you continue to Podcast when Dami goes to college? Or will you perhaps Podcast by yourself, or maybe trial podcast like The Periscoping Sisters or just wait and see? Thanks for the countless hours of keeping me company while I knit and crochet.

Ask the Geeky Girls - Kim (psychowholockian) from Texas asks:
CC, I’ve been watching your podcasts since June or July of 2017. (NOT long, but loving them) Anyway, I have watched past episodes and you talk about your zig zag blanket. I was wondering what needles you are using. You have probably already mentioned this and I just didn’t notice. I was wondering because I keep noticing straight needles with little pandas on them. Thanks for the great work every week.
