This is such a cool idea! I seem to have a large part of North America. I'll see what I can do with it soon.  |

Haha! Yes Ivana I think you ended up with a lot of countries too.
I am just waiting to hear from Shanna and then I will move or draw or something.
At the moment I am just joining up surrounding colours. |

Hi Sean. Like you skittles approach. Very tasty
Can everyone nudge the inactive squares next to them and get them to at least answer that they are around. I know people are busy but I do wish they would respond to messages.

This is good fun but a bit harder to get right than I imagined, still not sure if my country is the right shape or in the correct position. I thought I would post Jo's link to the reference picture that we are using again in case those who have not started do not find it:

I think your images all look wonderful.
I have PMd every non-active member today to try and move things along.
It is nearly two weeks since Shanna posted and I still have not heard anything. I do not want to start an image if I am then going to have to move.
If I do not hear from everyone in the next two weeks I will presume they are no longer interested and move the active members together.
I am sorry if this sounds a little harsh but I don't understand why some have not got back to me and the others have come back to the OMM but not participated. There are only so much time I want to spend chasing people. It is very time consuming and I think this is such a wonderful idea. I cannot let it slide. I am determined that this time we get a complete picture.

| I agree completely, it will just drag on if half the time we spend on each project is spent chasing people up and it would be really nice to see a complete one. By this stage when we have moved the active members away a couple of times, if people still aren't responsive then I don't think we can let it slide either. |

I'm sorry- life's gotten very busy lately, my SO and I have been thinking of starting our own business and that [along with a move and a myriad of other things] has been distracting me. That and the fact that things got so slooowwww here during the Christmas holidays... lol. I'll have a go at my part this weekend.

Right!
I got fed up waiting so I have now moved Shanna back to her original position and Angela over to Claires square. Claire was not actually part of the collab but an inactive square that fitted with the snow pic we did.
Now I will attempt to draw my square  This may take some considerable time so bear with me! |

Hi Aunty Mor, just read the previous notices, are you ok with the square you have I don't mind swapping if you want to change. I like the idea that the squares can be moved around within the Collab. |

Alan we have never met but I love you!
Its all yours. Made me feel cold every time I looked at it. I am no artist just a bossy organiser.
You now have centre stage young man. I can go play in the sea

I just wanted to share my joy as the massive amount of snow covering the south east at the moment and felt here was a good place to do it.
Aunty Mor, you are an amazing organiser Nothing would happen without you |

Thanks Sarah. Nice to be appreciated for being bossy.
Yes SNOW!!!!!! and loads of it. Didn't see my kids all day. Both had no school or college to go to. Took some lovely pictures in the garden before the kids on the common next to me started lobbing snowballs at me. Lobbed a few back scored a couple of direct hits and ran indoors before they could return fire. I love snow! |

Okay- missed it this weekend, was busy preparing for an apartment inspection and scrubbing the bathroom floors, sink, and tub after a hair-dye incident gone horribly, horribly wrong. [Basically, I dyed my hair purple the weekend... it ended up looking like I used my basin and tub to stomp a few grapes.] I'm still in! I'm totally still here.

Just as well it wasn't red Skaii or it would have looked like the chain saw massacre!
Do you like your new purple look? Sounds lovely.
Hope the inspection went well too after all your hard work.
As you all may have noticed. Alan has now taken over the "most countries in the world square" much to my relief. The picture is starting to look pretty good now and again I just love the different interpretations everyone is coming up with.
Still have not heard anything from Jethro, Shanna, Anthony, Angela, Shubnum, Dee Dee or Michelle (I think that is all of the missing squares) If anyone has a hotline (email) then please chase them up.
There are a couple more people who would like to join us so I will soon start replacing squares I hear nothing from. |

I love the way this atlas is pulling together - and the different styles, too.
Crazy idea - wouldn't it be cool to have a little dot or star to show where each of us in this collab call home? Dunno if it would work. |
