    Hi everyone!
    I hope you are well and hope those of you who celebrate, had a good Thanksgiving!

    We're here to announce the start of our new challenge.
    Last month's M3 is centered around themes of foundation - comfort - grateful.

    The Gratitude Challenge:
    Does Expressing Thanks Every Day Make You Happier?


    I made a vow to myself to write down what I was grateful for every day.

    I've been writing something I'm grateful for on my diary every day, and it's really helped me see how blessed I am this year.
    We've had our tough times, but the good definitely outweighs the bad. It's so easy to get caught up in the negative.

    It’s been 4 weeks I started my gratitude journey and I notice that Gratitude isn’t just an assignment, but a habit. A habit that needs to be practiced and nurtured.
    Some of them are shallow. But they’re also a reminder that what really matters in life may already be right in front of us.

    So my CHALLENGE this month is to make a page with a 10 things (at least) list of what you are grateful for.
    • Please use the word "grateful" somewhere on your layout. It doesn't have to be in the title -it just need to be centered around the word "grateful."
    • I want see a List - minimum 10.
    • You need to add numbers
    • Use 2016 somewhere on your page.
    And finally, have fun!!

    I sort of scraplifted the layout Sandy and I created for the Takes Two to Tango Art Journal challenge. I really liked the background I created so I used it. I also liked where Sandy had placed a doll on it, but I used a different doll and composition. Hope all of this is okay.
