November Thank You Challenge

This month is all about relaxing and taking it easy!!
The challenge, should you choose to accept, is to create a layout about something that you do to have time out. What is the one thing that helps you unwind, get away from it all or just spend 5 minutes recovering your sanity levels!!
Would love to see what you create so please drop back here with a link so we can view and admire your creation.
All the best with the new challenge and thanks for visiting :)

October Thank You Challenge

This month is all about Me... Well ok it's about you!!!
This month's challenge is to create a layout based on yourself and the things you are thankful for. There is so much to be thankful for and sometimes others don't see what you see and I think 'you' is a great starting point.
Hope you enjoy this new challenge, can't wait to see what you create, so pop back here and link your layout. You might just inspire someone else.
Thanks for visiting :)

September Thank You Challenge

Happy September one and all. I hope it is a wondrous month for you.
This months challenge is up to you. The challenge will be to create a thank you layout of your own choice. You can thank anything or anyone for whatever reason. And this month there is something special about posting your layout back here. The topic for the October challenge will be chosen from one of the layouts submitted in September and special mention will be made to the person who submitted it.
So what are you waiting for?? Get those fingers cracking, create and have fun!!!
Thanks for visiting

Howdee

Just thought I would pop in and say thank you to all the visitors of The Thank You Blog. Appreciate each and everyone of you!
How are you going with the August challenge?? Hope you have been inspired to scrap. Next month it's all about YOU. So make sure you come back, not just to see what the September challenge will be, but also to share your creations.
Take care :)

August Thank You Challenge

Hope you are all well. Did you feel challenged to scrap a negative that turned positive?? Thought I would get in early for the new month as tomorrow is a flat out day in our house!

This month's challenge is to scrap about a health problem. A result you are thankful for, treatment that is working or just the fact you are healthy and well.

This is my take on the challenge. One of our daughters has recently been diagnosed with a heart problem. I am very thankful for the fact that we finally have found what the problem is and that we have a 'name' for the problem. All our kids have had their health issues and I hope to scrap about the others one day, so this was a good place to start.

Journaling says "so proud of you and now we know about infrequent SVT" also contains hidden journaling about how proud I am of her.

I hope you feel inspired to scarp a health related Thank You layout and would love to see it, so please drop back here and leave a link for your layout.

Also a little plug for September's challenge, it will be a free for all but worth joining in. Ok have fun, take care and as always, thanks for visiting.

Is it cold where you are?

Is cold here in Tasmania, Australia! Middle of winter and feeling like it!
Ok so a hint for next month's theme... Health. That would be the biggest clue I have given to date!!
Find out more on the first.
Thanks for dropping by :)

July Thank You Challenge

How did you go with the June Challenge? Did you find a deed to scrap?
This months challenge is to scrap a negative that turned out to be a positive (told you maths was involved!!!). My layout is about my love of all things music, she types this after a day of 4 noisy girls singing LOUDLY in the car! Growing up I was often told I was tone deaf and not to sing. Being told I couldn't sing just to stop me from singing. But it didn't stop me, as those around you would tell you I am forever making up songs and singing, humming or whistling! This layout is about the thought that if I wasn't told I couldn't sing I don't think I would enjoy music as much as I do today. I don't take it for granted and enjoy the noise that sometime envelopes me. I now know I can sing and have been told that I'm not at all tone deaf (thank goodness say those around me lol)

So this month's challenge is about something that may have altered your life, your way of thinking or just the way you are, for the better. I also thought of scrapping, and will do so in the future, about the arrival of our first daughter. She has a genetic skin disorder and we were told of the life to expect for her and us. Thankfully she is 1000 times better than the Doctors ever predicted and it's something we never take for granted and are very thankful for, a negative that turned into a positive.
Looking forward to seeing where this challenge takes you and would love to see your work, if you would like to post a link back here.
Thanks for visiting and hope the month is full of things to be thankful for.

Slip, Sliding away

Sorry to keep bringing it up but OH MY GOSH is that another month almost over???
Wonder what delights July will bring?! June has already shown it's hand with some cold (brr) days and some sunshine filled days. Winter here in Tasmania still brings out the best of every season, and usually in one day.
The challenge for July, hmmmmm what can I tell you?? It involves a little maths, maybe, a little of the past mixed with a little of today... I think that is about all I can say but hope it gets your brain tingling!
See you back here on the 1st :)

June Thank You Challenge

Brrr Winter has definately shown it's beauty today!! A sprinkle of snow on the mountain while the sunshine streams down! What has the new season brought to your neck of the woods today???

How did you go with last month's challenge?? I hope it has inspired you to create. This month's challenge is to say thank you to a deed. Something that someone does, an act of kindness, a labour of love. Something that might happen everyday or something that is out of the blue. For me, my layout is about how my wonderful Husband turns my electric blanket on. It shows me how loved I am because he remembers each night (apart from those warmer nights). He never knew that it was something my own Father used to do for me, all he knew is that I love hopping into a toasty warm bed!! So for this I am thankful. So why scrap it?? Well, it's something noone would ever know about 'Us'. It's a story I can share that symbolises the love that he has for me and for that I am grateful!!

Hope this inspires you to create this month and please remember to come back and share a link so we can all see your creations and be inspired too.

Whizzzzzz

Yes it's the sound of another month flying by! June is almost here and with the new month a new challenge for The Thank You blog.
So how are you going with this months challenge?? Completed a layout?? Would love to see it.
And next month's challenge...
What will it be??? It could be something that happened once, something that happens daily, something insignificant or something so in your face you can't miss it. Either way its something that I think is worth thinking about and noting with a layout so others see how important it is. Curious??? Well, make sure your back here on the 1st (I usually update at night (Australian time)). I also suggest using Bloglines (or similar) so you find out when the blog has been updated. I love Bloglines and use it to keep on top of the blogs I like to visit so I don't have to remember them all.
Hope your feeling inspired to create.
Take care
