Enter the Solitaire TriPeaks "My Year in the Pandemic" Contest!

A little over a year ago we had a contest about “Having Fun Staying Put” and our players provided us with a number of amazing photos of what they were doing during the beginning phase of “Shelter in Place.” You can see the winners here: Results of the “Have Fun Staying Put” Contest!

Well, now that we’re finally seeing that light at the end of the tunnel, we’re going to do a “My Year in the Pandemic” Contest featuring 4 categories:

  1. "My Home Makeover" (before and after pictures)
  2. "My Greatest Pandemic Accomplishment" (pictures or short summary)
  3. "I Started a Hobby" (pictures or short summary)
  4. "What I Learned During the Pandemic" (short summary)

WHERE SHOULD I POST MY ENTRY?

You’ll want to post your entries in the appropriate Forum Categories, linked above.

WHAT SHOULD I POST?

It can be anything so long as it fits, at least somewhat, into one of the above categories. For “Home Makeover” you’ll want to post before and after pictures. In the “Greatest Pandemic Accomplishment” and “I Started a Hobby” categories, you’ll want to include a short summary and pictures if they help convey what you’re trying to say. In the “What I learned During the Pandemic” category, your summary will be your entry, but if you have any pictures to go along with them, then by all means, include them!

So during the pandemic I to have started with diamond art or paint with dots. I have done approximately 8 in the last month or 2 or 3. I have attached to couple that I have done and I’m in the process of doing I really enjoy it. Some nights I wanna keep going But I really need to push myself to go to bed because I have to get up at 5:00 AM for work. I get a sore knock after a whileBut the end results are worth it. The pictures that I’ve chosen to do in the future will be framed And more than likely hung.

My Biggest accomplishment was: I had lumbar spinal surgery!!! Replaced L2 through L5 discs with cadaver bones, metal plates screws, pins and six rods in my spine!!! I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. I wanted to get off all pain medication. So I got up the courage to try. I’m still recovering . Major dangerous surgery with one year recovery before completely fused. Wearing back brace and bone stimulator… I will be biopic woman when healed. Lol
