WELCOME to Challenge #207 - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Monday, Jan 5th  thru Sunday, Jan  18th
"3-2-1 Recipe - "Cool, Wild and/or Crazy" 


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker 
says, "While looking through the 2026 calendar, there is a Word Nerd Day on Wednesday, January 20th. After looking into our Seuss family history, it was discovered that a NERD was one of the preferred zoo creatures in the 1950 book 'If I Ran the Zoo'. 

"At that time, Nerds were outsiders, but today a Nerd is brainy and a bit geeky, and that's pretty cool... so let's stir up some trouble in Double Trouble's Kitchen and create a cool, wild and/or crazy project, for any occasion, with our 3-2-1 recipe below."

3-2-1 Recipe "Cool, Wild and/or Crazy"
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun 
Specific information available by clicking on each ingredient. 
     Colors
     2  Shapes  
     1  Sentiment 

Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in our random drawing... but you can enhance your project by using more than the ingredients stipulated. 

You can stop here... 
OR 
play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or consider Thing 2's optional dare and earn additional chances in our random drawing. 


THING 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "Sometimes I think I'm so cool, but Trouble Maker says I'm a Square. What did I say when she called me a Square? 'It's all relative.'
  
"So let's get back to square one... my optional twist is to use at least two squares on your project."
   

If you have included my optional twist in your project, you will earn another chance in our Random Drawing. 






THING 2:  Double Dare
says, "Click on my clipart to the left for a sneak peek of the sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #686. My optional dare is to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe 'Cool, Wild and/or Crazy'. If you do, you will be awarded TWO additional chances in our random drawing.

"Please note that TSOT starts Tuesday, Jan 6th, so this sneak peek gives you the day before to create; but remember... to prevent backlinking, your project should not be posted, published, or entered before Jan 6thin Try a Sketch On Tuesday." 

Note:  When using TSOT and/or our Alternate Challenges, please include the Challenge name(s) next to the DTC link in your post so you are eligible for the additional chances in our random drawing.
