Merit Badge in Elle [Click For More Info] Congratulations on your new "Elle" merit badge for your group, [Link To Item #1938829] ! Thank you for supporting the Writing.Com community with your inspirations, participation and activities. We appreciate it! -SMs

Yes, I know you're all busy with site birthday celebrations, but I had an idea for a newsfeed merit badge challenge, so I'm running with it!

You can earn the exclusive Elle merit badge (above) or your choice of any non-exclusive merit badge. I'll do random draws for as many as I can afford.

My husband's lovely aunt (which makes her sound ancient, but she's not much older than me!) has joined Writing.com - please welcome Hope .

I must admit, when she first mentioned joining, I did have a mini panic. I'm not the same at family gatherings as I am on here! And there's some things in my portfolio that members of my family (let alone my husband's!) would be, er, shocked by. But I took a deep breath and reminded myself that WDC is a safe space to be ourselves and it'll be fun to get to know each other better outside of family gatherings. I nearly wrote 'polite family gatherings' but my husband's family are all loud and all have ADHD (which means NO FILTER) and they love a laugh. So there aren't really any polite family gatherings, but since she and I both married into this loud, crazy family, we are the quieter ones. *Laugh*

Anyway, for your chance to win a merit badge, share one aspect of your online personality that your family wouldn't recognise, or one item from your portfolio that you'd be reluctant to share with your family. *Heart* If you're exactly the same with your family as you are online, well, you don't need a merit badge, my friend, because you are already winning at life. *Laugh*

I'd be cool with any of yours I don't have.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I'm social with several people from the, uh, "other" side of WdC, the side where most dare not to tread. *Yikes* Mind you, I don't really read their stuff, but I do socialize with them and several have fanned me. *Bigsmile* Naturally, I've taught several how to link to their interactives and chapters as well. *Laugh*
Totally happy with the Elle badge! It's a very lovely one.

PS - just read that 4th para. Slightly embarrassed. I'd probably write it in a whole different way now!!

Thank you, all! I spent WAY more time than I should have, while in Korea, writing post cards and such. *Laugh* But it seemed to make people happy, so that's good. *Smile*
Congratulations, Schnujo ! Well deserved!

Thank you so much for your anniversary wishes. And, um, I don't do much these days, but you're welcome. *Laugh*
Elle (she/her) - if you call what you do 'not much', then I'd be overwhelmed by your definition of 'much', I think! *Rolling*
