Hello and welcome to Week 2 of our October Challenges. Our word prompt for this month is RISK. Let's do a deep dive into this powerful word and take some time to explore what this word really means. Risk: Stepping Into the Unknown Risk is one of life’s most paradoxical truths. It is defined as...

Oh Tracy, this literally jumps off the gallery wall with its symbolism and beauty! The first thing I noticed was the woman kneeling at the foot of the Cross. Your journaling description is so profound, and it truly touches my heart. I'm so happy that our word prompt for this month moved you...

Thanks so much, Vicky. I look back and still can't believe that our love story started out like this.

Thank you my sweet friend. You know what a special night and also a pivotal moment in my life. Little did I know that my world was about to change and that Chuck wound be my husband for 43 wonderful years. Thanks for appreciating my first attempt at an AI image, too. :hug4:

Thanks, Chris. You were one of the first I showed it to. :hug4:

Thanks so much, Kay. It truly is and it took a lot of guts for Chuck to just show up at my door.

Our word prompt for October is RISK. I'd have to title this layout "The Night Chuck Took a RISK". There's small journaling on the page. It talks about mutual friends who had tried to fix us up. I said "no" that I was not interested. Chuck took it upon himself to come over and introduce himself...

Here's my layout.

Love your page, it's message and the "cartooning" of the characters. Great and unique twist to your layout!

Gorgeous page and beautiful story, Vicky. Truly a match made in Heaven.

Wonderful kick off for October, Susie!

Thanks, so much!

Thank you so much!

Thanks, Char. We moved from S Florida, so I know what you mean. You're right, it doesn't last long enough. I actually took this picture last fall, on one of my walks. We're not into much color yet - just an occasional tree, but its fun to see the leaves changing.

What a wonderful, creative page by Char! @char8182

This is SO amazing and SO creative, Char!! I love all of your journaling and all of the different journaling methods - the word strips, the different fonts! What wonderful goals you have and you can do it. Your page is just beautiful and I'm giving you a Standing O!

Thanks for the challenge, Chris. I got all four of my COMMITMENT pages done. Whew!

My Week 4 page is my COMMITMENT to this sacred land.

You just gave me goosebumps, Bitzee. I love these kids so much and I'm so honored to have been an instrumental part of their lives. I'm looking forward to the great Grands SO much.

Thanks, Vicky and I agree; we have an obligation to them and I love feeling a commitment to them. Thanks for your wonderful comments.
