THEME WEEKS for 2020 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS
Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, in addition to the usual scarf mistress culprits, SOTD (Scarf of The Day) is getting back to its roots and we have several GSMs who have taken on multiple theme weeks. So this year there is going to be lots of variety and personal input this year in the theme weeks, and that is a real thrill! In 2020, we'll be welcoming
@AnnaE,
@Jbizzybeetle,
@Julide and
@Pautinka to the GSM festivities! Please give them a hand and a round of thanks for their upcoming efforts! Of course, there is always room for more! If you’d like to be a host, start a Conversation with one of us (
@bunnycat,
@Cookiefiend,
@Living.la.vida.fifi, or
@xincinsin )--by clicking the Inbox in the upper right corner. Tell us the date and Theme you’d like to introduce and we’ll answer questions and sign you up.
Everyone on this thread is a Scarfie who loves learning about specific designers, discovering new scarf knots, examining scarf details more carefully, and seeing MORE SCARVES. Even if it's off-theme, your SOTD is always welcome. Be creative, have fun with the topics, and SHOW US YOUR SCARVES — talk about them and add links to more information. We’re all friends here (definitely no Scarf Police) – so smile at your selfie camera and come play with us!
