"Any Way You Punch It"  


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "
National Punch Day (Sept 20) is about three things. Can you guess which two we are celebrating? Here are your choices: 1. A sweet or spicy drink that is ladled from a punch bowl, 2. A crafting tool, or 3. The kind of punch that you dole out with your fists. 

"Hopefully, your selections agreed with mine... so here is the challenge:
1. Pour your favorite punch or beverage into a spill-proof container and go to your craft space. If you let us know in the comments what beverage you poured you will earn a second chance in our random drawing.  
2. Look through your stash and choose at least one punch and/or die to use in your project.  
3. NO Fist Punching allowed."
  
You can stop here... 
OR  
play along with Twisted Sister's optional twist below to earn another chance in our random drawing.  

THING  3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "As I was looking through the September monthly celebrations, there were a couple events that amused me - Chicken Month and Happy Cat Month. It brought back memories of my childhood. Remember 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Ee i ee i o'? Well, I couldn't stop with just a cluck-cluck here... or a meow-meow there... I must have sung a gazillion verses. 

"Wouldn't it be fun to include an animal you find on a farm with your project? You might even consider using some of your punches and/or dies to create a scene, but my OPTIONAL TWIST is to include at least one farm animal for an additional chance in our random drawing."

You can stop here...
OR  
If you have included a farm animal in your project you may play along with Double Dare's dare below. 

THING  2:  Double Dare 
says, "If you have met Thing 1's requirement to use at least one punch or die, and have included a farm animal, you are eligible to enter your project HERE  at I Spy with My Little Eye 'Something on or from the Farm' and you will qualify for an additional chance in our random drawing.
