Welcome to the 143rd edition of Thursday Thirteen!

This week’s theme is the alphabet. Last week we asked you to select a letter of the alphabet and use thirteen words that begin with that letter that describe you. How did you do? Let’s get busy reading everybody’s alphabet posts.

Next week will be our 144th edition. Since 144 is twelve dozen and equals a “gross”, next week will be our gross issue. Can you think of a gross Thursday Thirteen? Use any definition of “gross” to create your own unique Thursday Thirteen. After you post your own Thursday Thirteen, take a look at others and leave a comment nominating the one you think should win the “T13 Gross Award.” Comments will be ended at noon on Saturday, and the winner will be announced on Sunday. Put your thinking caps on and let’s see how many great gross T13’s we will have next week.

Now, on to this week’s Thursday Thirteen.

• Please leave the link to your Thursday Thirteen in comments.
• Its also helpful if you leave your edition number.
• Then visit as many Thirteeners as you can. Help spread the T13 love!

Also be sure to check out the Thursday Thirteen Forum to learn about all things T13, and then look through our CafePress shop for great Thursday Thirteen items for yourself and for gifts.

Look to the top left of the screen and visit this week’s featured blogs, too!

Happy Thirteening!

Welcome to the 142nd edition of Thursday Thirteen!

It’s Thursday Thirteen time again. This is the first week of our “THEME” editions. Remember, last week, in order to get ready for vacation time, we asked you to write about thirteen places you’ve visited that you’d recommend. Let’s read each other’s T13 posts and see all the wonderful places that people have visited.

(And if you posted on another theme, that’s okay. We want to read your T13 post, too! :-))

Next week’s theme: Next week is alphabet week. Choose a letter of the alphabet and write thirteen words that describe you that begin with that letter. Be creative and have fun!

Now - on with this week’s reading!

• Please leave the link to your Thursday Thirteen in comments.
• Its also helpful if you leave your edition number.
• Then visit as many Thirteeners as you can. Help spread the T13 love!
• Please make sure that you have the new blogroll on your page - many of you haven’t changed your blogroll!!

Also be sure to check out the Thursday Thirteen Forum to learn about all things T13, and then look through our CafePress shop for great Thursday Thirteen items for yourself and for gifts.

Look to the top left of the screen and visit this week’s featured blogs, too!

Happy Thirteening!

Welcome to the 141st edition of Thursday Thirteen!

For NEXT week, we’re going to try something new. We will have a theme week. We’ll tell you the theme a week ahead. That way you have time to plan your theme T13 post. Of course it’s your choice whether or not you participate in the theme or come up with your own theme.

Next week’s theme: Since people are preparing for summer and vacations, tell us about thirteen places you’ve visited and what you liked about each place. Maybe we can get some fresh ideas of places to go for vacation or weekend getaways.

Now, on to this week’s Thursday Thirteen!

• Please leave the link to your Thursday Thirteen in comments.
• Its also helpful if you leave your edition number.
• Then visit as many Thirteeners as you can. Help spread the T13 love!
• Please make sure that you have the new blogroll on your page - many of you haven’t changed your blogroll!!

Also be sure to check out the Thursday Thirteen Forum to learn about all things T13, and then look through our CafePress shop for great Thursday Thirteen items for yourself and for gifts.

Look to the top left of the screen and visit this week’s featured blogs, too!

Happy Thirteening!
