Design a New Year’s message
Exercise those artistic muscles and brain cells.
Make or do something connected with New Year.
Knit a New Year scarf, bake a New Year cake, write a New Year poem, make a New Year card, take a New Year photograph, or create your own project.
Display your handiwork on this thread before New Year’s eve.
You haven’t much time, submit your entry before 2023 begins.
Gain admiration and supportive noises from other Forum users.
It’s all about taking part.
I’m looking forward to seeing what offerings appear here.
Keep on keepin’ on

Great idea Bob! I’ll have a think about my creativity juices flow…
New Year
Another new year,
Rung in, as it always is,
With bells and drunkards
Singing old Lang’s syne.
How do I feel about it,
Old and disabled?
New Years signal hope,
If not for me, for others
As all New Years do.
So I wish you well
And a peaceful year ahead…
Fight on my friends, fight on

So here’s my contribution to the creativity event. I decided not to inflict my drawing on you again so wrote a poem instead
Happy New Year one and all.
Its New years eve
Big Ben’s chiming
There’s fireworks on the Thames
People partying
Singing Auld lang Syne
And Jools Holland’s hootenanny
A midnight kiss
A champagne toast
And the tradition of First footing
Resolutions made
Some kept, some broken
A promise of things to come
A Time to reflect
The year is ending
New hopes and new beginnings
For those we’ve lost
Along the way
Good memories we can share
So wave goodbye
It’s time to say hello
To the year that’s now beginning

Hilary is still under the weather, I’m sniffling along behind.
Waiting for it to all blow away,

Take care, keep well

An Official Communique from ZOG Headquarters.
We are sorry this contest didn’t get the attention it deserved.
Unfortunately it was forgotten to book the venue, the marquee and the judges.
We hope simply taking part will have been reward enough for the wonderful use you have made of your creativity.
What has been displayed here is truly remarkable and so, to mark this, we have managed, at the last minute, to secure a celebration of your efforts.
A last minute fireworks display will be held around the world to mark this great creativity event .
Keep an eye out around midnight wherever you are on the 31st December to see the wonderful display put on to celebrate your efforts.
No expense was spared and it promises to be a spectacular and memorable occurrence.
Any resemblance to other similar happenings is purely coincidental.
Keep on keepin’ on in 2023
Raising a glass to you!
