Hi,
Just want to know the new theme for july challenge please??

Thanks for my bonus tube!!

Oh wow! Thank you for my bonus in the summer challenge! he is too awesome!

Thanks for clarifying that, I sure was barking up the wrong tree...I was thinking "drive" as in transportation lol

Sandy you can use the tags as much as you want now or after the challenge is over, there is no reason for us to limit you here.

Flipaliscious, under "drive" we mainly meant "a strong organized effort to accomplish a purpose" as in "a driven person", basically it's summer, PFD and how much drive (equals motivation, inspiration) it all gives ya :)

When you say drive does this mean it could also be ride which means we could use a bike in the tag?
