Challenge #22--Midway Reflection & Voting Reminder

Hello everyone! We have reached the midway point of Challenge #22. The theme for this challenge is all about UNIQUENESS.  

Sadly I do not have a my regular introspection for you this month. It has been a rather difficult week. During the first half of the week I was ill and then we were also dealing with the fact that my mother-in-law had been diagnosed with influenza and pneumonia. Sadly her heart was not strong enough and she died in the early hours of Sunday morning. She will be missed by her 14-children, 36-grand-children, 59-great grand-children and 7-great-great grand-children.

While it is a time of mourning for our family, my team has worked very hard to come up with projects for our midway so the show must go on!


As a reminder, here are the watermarks and links for the wonderful images that the team worked with for the midway.

Clicking on the team members name (or in the case of our GDT, the blog name) will take you to their blog where you can check out the details for their inspirational creations!
So if you haven't entered already, what are you waiting for?  Create a project and/or post that is positive AND relates to uniqueness, provide an explanation of how your project and/or post relates to the theme somewhere in your post or come over and leave a comment with the explanation.  Easy, peasy!  You can enter our latest challenge by clicking HERE.

Also, I know that the participants would love for you to go and pay them a visit.  Remember we're creating a Path of Positivity to follow one project at a time and we'd love to see you somewhere on that route even if it is just by leaving a comment on an entry from someone who has touched you somehow with their project and/or post!

If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab and all the details you need to know in order to participate, in the 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog).

Don't Forget...

You still have until 11:55 p.m. tonight, to vote on your favourite entry for Challenge #21.  Voting is quick, easy and painless so I hope you will consider casting your vote if you haven't already.  Don't forget, if you leave a comment after voting, you have the opportunity to walk away with a selection of digital papers created especially with your interests in mind. To check out all those eligible and cast your vote, click HERE.  Winners for challenge #21 will be posted next week.
