Not quite October yet, but it will soon be here. Time to start another DONNA challenge. Really hoping that when all the flurry of SKETCHtember winds down that PEAs will have the energy to create one more LO... donna was a long time Pea who was taken from us long before her time. Her last scrapbooking effort had been to complete her kids' albums before time ran out. Many Peas, coordinated by jenjie and myboysnme , helped with that project. A Pea we have not heard from in a long while, kiwigirl , set up this challenge to keep DONNA's memory alive. So now we honour Donna's memory by getting our own photos onto scrapbook pages while WE have time to do that. Each month we set a challenge to get those photos glued onto pages. And we also have a theme This challenge is open to anyone, but if you are a member of a challenge team looking for points: ONE point for EACH photo you scrap in October, 2023, no matter the theme. TEN points for meeting the OCTOBER Donna theme on your project OCTOBER 2023 DONNA Theme: GRATITUDE. This month marks Thanksgiving in Canada, a chance to count our blessings as we gather with friends and family. But no need to wait for a special day to show gratitude. You can send a thankyou note any time. And what shows gratitude better than a whole page? Show gratitude for someone--or lots of someones. Simply count your blessings no matter the source.
As the Tshirt says... "It isn't that joy brings gratitude, but rather that gratitude brings joy."
Have fun with this. And don't forget to share your creation in this thread. I hope to have a sample up soon.

Here is a page with a photo taken from our Thanksgiving weekend with family. I used to think every holiday would be filled with every family member, and sometimes it is easy to fall into that, thinking "only" two of our four kids and "only" three of our 11 grandkids were able to join us. But I have learned to shake that off and celebrate that SOME of our kids & grandkids were able to be here. We had a huge turkey meal, and I made the boys play in the leaves until they were having a blast... October '24 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I am thankful for our big yard and the many colours of autumn surrounding it. I am thankful for love and laughter and surrendering to PLAY!
