Challenge #34--PROSPERITY: Midway & Voting Reminder

Hello everyone! We have reached the midway point of Challenge #34. The theme for this challenge is PROSPERITY.

It is the start of a new year and the perfect time to reflect on the concept of what prosperity means to each of us.  In Pat's Pondering this month (which you can find HERE), she uses the quote, "An Attitude of Gratitude invites Abundance and Prosperity".  I love this quote because it hits the head on the nail--before we can have a life filled with abundance and prosperity, we must first adopt an attitude of gratitude.  One of the proponents of positive thinking is that like attracts like.  In other words, the energy that we send out, we get back so if we focus on the positive, we'll attract that in kind.  When we demonstrate just how grateful we are through words and deeds, we are opening ourselves up to live in abundance and prosperity.  That sounds like a pretty good way to live, don't you think?!

 Anyway, it is time to get on with our midway!
Here are the watermarks and links for the wonderful images that the team worked with for the midway.

To help inspire you down the path of PROSPERITY, check out the wonderful projects most of my Design Team had the opportunity to create.  I even had time to create one although sadly it will be late appearing on my own blog <sigh>...

Deanne, from Little Bit 'O Paper, who is our guest designer this month, shared this sweet card with us...


So if you haven't entered already, what are you waiting for?  Create a project and/or post that is positive AND relates to the idea of prosperity, 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 #33.  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 on a selection of the active posts from this month, you have the opportunity to walk away with a small selection of digital papers. To check out all those eligible and cast your vote, click HERE.  Winners for challenge #33 will be posted next Monday.
