The theme word for this week at Take a Word is FRIENDS and I'm very honored to be the guest host. The problem was providing a sample good enough. I made a first attempt, but didn't like the result. So I decided to try a different proposition, I liked. Then I decided to try to improve that first. It was not bad. As I didn't know which one to choose, I sent the two and left the hard work for Marie. She was kind enough to post both. Thanks, dear Marie, for the opportunity.

O tema desta semana em Take a Word é AMIGOS e estou muita honrada de ser a anfitriã convidada. O problema foi fornecer uma colagem suficientemente boa. Fiz uma primeira tentativa, mas não gostei do resultado. Então, decidi tentar uma proposta diferente e gostei. Aí, decidi tentar melhorar a primeira tentativa. Não ficou ruim. Como eu não sabia qual escolher, enviei as duas e deixei o trabalho duro para Marie. Ela foi gentil o bastante de postar ambas. Obrigada, querida Marie, pela oportunidade.
Both are super Christine. I can imagine that you couldn't choose !! Thanks for your beautiful exsamples and hard work, you can be PROUD of yourself !
