This is for September 13, International Chocolate Day. You can see a mixed media piece I did with a small chocolate wrapper years ago here: https://scrap-genie.blogspot.com/2012/11/drawing-33-riding-glory.html

I wanted to pick a September celebration for the 13th and found a chocolate day then, so this is my celebration of International Chocolate Day.

Wonderful photos and story. Especially like the photo in the camera frame. You did the eight photos and made it look easy.

In 2023 my word was Aware and I had a post it note by my computer to remind me. Sometimes it worked. I did a LO for it back then too. Anyway, I've tried that aspect of FOCUS.

I've gone with the awareness side of focus as it has been helpful in the past.

Quite an interesting challenge! See details below. I use PaintShop Pro (PSP) and if it has the same stroke tool I didn't find it. However, font and other vector shapes do have a stroke and fill. I used that for the title. Under Image > Add Borders I added the border to the photo before adding...

Thanks for the challenge! Hope the leaves in mine aren't to muted.

Thanks for this challenge, these are always fun.

Fall migration of birds really begins in July but is in full swing now in September. It would be the best part of fall if we were getting out to see the birds, but even our yard will show a few.

Terri, please know we enjoy seeing your weekly progress, or at least I do. I know it's easier with companions in the process, but you do have incentive with all your other books. As to the future, you could try to get others at the O to join you in 2025 from the beginning of the year. It really...

Maybe not the usual fall colors, but for us the season sure was changing!

New fall car models came for us in August when the 2025 Civic hybrid came at last and we got this bright red one.

This was my first juried show in many years, so exciting on the one hand but disappointing that two entries didn't make the cut. The closing reception was fun and the show had some excellent pieces.
