... an end of the year challenge ...

Make note, journal - or art journal if you are inclined to do so - of the best of 2013. If there is one single milestone - all the better. Describe how it made you feel - how it affected your life, and others around you. Describe the elation. Then choose the lowest point of 2013 for you - again describe how it affected your life and those around you. Describe your despair. Describe both in as much detail as you dare. Do the same for every year from now on. But - revisit both the highs and lows of all the years, every year. Record your perspective on them as the years progress. I think it will be a revealing exercise. Our perspectives change through the years - I think it will be very revealing to record how we grow emotionally.

Do you dare???????

An accouncement and our sketch!!!



I had some sad news to announce. After this challenge I will not be running this blog, until I have the time to dedicate the time to it that it and you deserve.  It saddens me that I cannot visit the blogs of the ladies who enter our challenges, and because I cannot give this the attention you all deserve, I will not be running our challenges until I can give it the proper attention. I have so very much enjoyed looking at your work, and hearing your stories. Thank you all so much for the lovely memories!! I hope to sometime soon find a bit of time to scrapbook myself (I haven't for ages), and to join you in some other lovely challenge blogs. Be kind to each other, encourage each other, and enjoy your scrapbooking memories!!

Here is our sketch for this month:

1 june 2013 prompt challenge - a proposal for you!!!

This month's prompt is:

How did your spouse propose to you? Where? How did you propose to your spouse? If this has never happened to you ‐ how did you dream it would? Or did you ever want that to happen to you?

Some of our ladies had some difficulty with this prompt, and we invite you to interpret the general theme in the way you would like to tell this story!!! You never have to interpret our challenges absolutely literally!!



Will be back soon!!!!
