Challenge #105--Optional Theme: Celebrate Something Special about YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON...Midway

 

 

Hey folks! Welcome back to the Path of Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the third Monday of the month and that means that it is time to present the midway for Challenge #105. It is my fond hope that each of you and your own families continue to stay well wherever it is you live in this big wide world of ours.  

As we are a unique kind of challenge blog, it is important for you to understand how things work. Please be sure to check out the START POST FOUND HERE for the specific details related to this month's challenge, and you can find out all the general details you need to know in order to participate, by clicking on the 'Challenge Details' tab (located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a summary of the most important rules can be found in the right sidebar under the heading 'General Rules'.
 
Right now, it is time to continue with our midway. Here is a refresher of the details for our current twist:

 

Challenge #105

Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of 

Celebrate Something Special about 

YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON

This year's goal is to celebrate the positive around us. As such, this month we want you to Celebrate Something Special about YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON. Most of us are drawn to one particular time period of the year. For myself, I have always been rather partial to the Autumn season. I am not exactly fond of temperature extremes so that takes care of summer and winter (though to be fair, each have good attributes as well); and, while spring can be pretty and life-renewing, there is just something special about the fall. From the return to school (I just loved school as a child), to the celebration of Thanksgiving (we celebrate in October here in Canada), and from the fun of dressing up on Halloween (one of my favourite occasions), to the beauty of the season (there are so many rich and vibrant colours surrounding us in nature this time of year), autumn simply offers up an abundance to choose from. But that is just me. How about you? This month, we would love for you to think about what makes YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON special and share it with us. 

 

In order to be considered eligible for this month's honours and prize, remember that general types of projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes UNLESS they are also positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature. Additionally, even if a project may qualify as positive, if your post promotes negativity, hatred or anything of an abhorrent nature, your project will be disqualified. Honours and Prizes include:

$6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.

A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

To help inspire you further down the path of Celebrating Something Special about YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON, check out the wonderful projects my Design Team had the opportunity to create. Clicking on each team member's name will take you to their blog where you can check out the details for their inspirational creations.

 

 

 

Thanks again to my fabulous design team! As always, each of them have their own exceptional approaches and concepts which impress me to no end. Each of these creations has demonstrated the theme of Celebrating Something Special about THEIR FAVOURITE SEASON admirably, and I hope we have encouraged you throughout this challenge to come up with your own piece of handiwork. Be sure to go and visit these talented ladies so you can see just how their projects tie in to the twist.

 

Why not join us, if you haven't entered already? Create a project and/or post that is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature and join our link up. How about stretching yourself by also opting to follow the twist?! Which of the seasons is your favourite? Are you more of a springtime person celebrating renewal? Or, do you enjoy the warmth of the summer months? Or like me, are you enamoured with the fall season? Or finally, do you enjoy the crisp cold of the winter season and all the different fun sports that can be played during the coldest time of year? If you'd like to share which SEASON IS YOUR FAVOURITE, and the things that you do to make it special, we'd love to hear it. You can write a sentence or two in the body of your post, write a sentence at the bottom of your post next to the link up for this challenge, or simply leave a comment on this post if you'd like.

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! You can find our list of participants and enter our latest challenge yourself by clicking HERE and scrolling down to the bottom of the post.

Ch. #104 Top Picks: Voting Open October 13 to October 20/22

WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE #104 POP TOP!

Hello folks! I hope that your Path this past week has included a number of positive moments along the route and that you and your families are all doing your best to stay healthy and happy.  

 

Apologies that I'm running late with this post. It was Thanksgiving Day here in Canada on Monday (when this post would normally go out), then yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment and was away from the house half of the day. Wednesday, it was a matter of playing some catch up but I can now finally present the top picks from the last challenge. Since we had 29 wonderful entries in Challenge #104 (click HERE to see the original challenge with the theme of Celebrate Something Special about YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR NATION or the WORLD at Large), it is time to get on with showcasing the seven projects and/or write-ups that touched the team the most. In case you are new and wondering why seven and not the typical three, four or even five? Any time that we have more than 14 entries, we have a top seven (with 14 entries or under we just have a top three). We always strive to be a bit different over here on the Path of Positivity and this is just another way to do so. Additionally, seven is a spiritual number and thus right in the wheelhouse of the vibe we are looking to project; so, seven it is when enough people join in. 

 

In order to get this post published while it is still Thursday, I am unable to frame the Top Picks like I normally would. In order to get it done before midnight, I am actually working from bed finishing this post up on my tablet and am therefore unable to access my editing program. If you're one of our Top Picks, and would really like a copy of your card framed, leave a comment and I will do my best to get it done for you.

Now, without further ado, please let me introduce you to the Top Picks for Challenge#104…

#06. KAREN

 

 

 

#18. EM

 

 

 

 

#13. CARA

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Now the really hard work starts. It is time for you, our readers, to vote for your favourite entry. Which participant most inspires you? Remember, you are not necessarily voting on a creation that was made. You might simply find what the person had to say in their post to be inspiring and optimistic. Please be sure to go and check out the entries first and not just make your choices off of the thumbnails. Then, let us know who your favourite choice is by placing your vote below using the Linky Tools feature. Once you have made your decision, why not go back and let that person know how she inspired you.

 Good luck everyone!

Voting open October 13th
through October 20th

Path of Positivity--Challenge #104 Top Picks
Please click "like" to vote for your favourite entry for Challenge #104 out of the entries listed below. ONE vote per IP address please. Please note that you can get a better idea of what the project/post looks like by visiting each participant first. To do so, simply click the names below the thumbnails to be taken to the person's blog. 

Please note: I don't know if it's because I'm working from a tablet or if the linky is just a bit wonky tonight, but I can't add the cards to the list prior to publishing it. Once the post is published, it might take a good 10 to 15 minutes until all seven cards have been added. If you happen to pop by and there aren't seven, please be sure to come back soon.

Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the notion of CELEBRATING THEIR FAVOURITE SEASON exceptionally and I hope we have inspired you.
