Ch. #103--Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of Celebrate YOUR CREATIVE SELF By Making Something Special Just For YOU...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 #103. 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 now 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 #103

Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of 

Celebrate YOUR CREATIVE SELF By Making Something Special Just For YOU

 
This year's goal is to celebrate the positive around us. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist this month, we want you to design a creation that focuses on Celebrating YOUR CREATIVE SELF By Making Something Special Just For YOU.
 
Often, we neglect our own needs. We think of everyone else before ourselves but it is important to take time for ourselves to rest, relax and recharge. We can only be there for others when we keep our internal batteries charged. In that same respect, it is also important to do nice things for ourselves as well. We often create crafty things for others but this month, it is time to make Something Special Just For YOU! Examples include: working on a creative journal, making a special calendar for yourself, designing a scrapbook page celebrating all things you, making an organizer, putting together a decorative box to hold special memories, etc. Whatever you decide to make, show the world that you are just as important as everyone else around you by Making Something Special Just For YOU in an effort to Celebrate YOUR CREATIVE SELF.

Remember, the twist is completely optional and you don't need to follow it in order to win. However, in order to be considered eligible for this month's goodies, remember that general types of projects/posts will not qualify for the honours and prize 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 Prize 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 Making Something Special Just For YOU, 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.
