Awesome Work Being Done
Feb 23rd
There is some truly awesome work being done at the Get Cracking with Bonnie and Robin Facebook group. Bonnie and I are both really impressed with the quality of these quick lenses. In little over a week the Get Cracking participants have already created more than 135 new lenses and the creativity with the challenge topics is amazing.
Yesterday’s topic was to create a lens about a favorite car and lenses were built about everything from a Nash Rambler to a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a nice Mitsubishi 3000gt, a Citroen 2CV Charleston, and a Corvette thrown in to boot!
One of the most imaginative ideas to come from our car challenge was a lens created about women mechanics that contains the story of one female lensmaster’s experience working on her husband’s car.
Visit the Get Cracking with Bonnie and Robin Facebook Group to see all of the wonderful lenses being created there or become a fan and join us and the over 200 members already participating in the Get Cracking with Bonnie and Robin daily lens building challenge.
Challenge yourself for a day, a week, a month, or any amount of time in between. It’s up to you!
I’ve created a lens to hold all of our past Get Cracking daily lens challenges that includes examples of some of the lenses that were built for each challenge. Use it the next time you need an idea for building a new lens or leave us a comment there with your own favorite lens writing prompt. We might just use your idea in the future!
It’s a Hit

I’m pleased to announce that day one of “Get Cracking with Bonnie and Robin” was an amazing success!
We had a terrific amount of participation and a bunch of super creative lenses built for our “first” challenge.
Some of the new lenses built included the first reel to reel tape recorders, Things for your First Apartment, casting a first spell and even a first time jump from an aeroplane!
One of the creative lens ideas that stood out for me was a lens created by LeanneChesser for her first grandchild. She started the lens to use as a journal to record information about her daughter’s pregnancy and her new grandson before he’s born.
Take a look! My First Grandchild
Great idea on Leanne’s part and a great way to show off the fact that just because we are making quick lenses at the Get Cracking Facebook group, doesn’t mean you can’t go back and add more information and build on to these lenses later on!
Let’s Get Cracking!
