And here we are in October already! Hello, it's Anke with a new challenge for this beautiful month of fall. I wanted to do something a little different and instead of asking you to make pages about fall, I would like the theme to be YOU.

Was there a recent birthday?
A fun outing?
Any change in your life?
Anything goes, as long as it's clearly about YOU. We are always behind the camera and document everybody else's life, it's a good thing to be the subject for a change. Feel free to use a template if you like. A photo of you would be great, but I will not make it a requirement. Sometimes it's hard to gt a good selfie and such. Just tell us a little story of something important to you!

Here is the page I created:

I used Rachel Jefferie's "Let's Go" Kit

I hope you'll have fun with this challenge, any questions, don't hesitate to ask!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RULES:
- Create a page about YOU, anything goes, but the theme must be apparent!
- A photo would be great, but it is not a requirement!

Adding a linked layout from the Gallery to a thread:
1. Upload your layout to the gallery first. In your forum post click the Gallery Embed icon (little camera).

Thanks for the challenge, Anke. Sifting through today's photos, I found an accidental selfie that showed my favorite hat, a bit of my new UV400 sunglasses, and completely blown out to solid white instead of my face. Since I'm never wild about selfies anyway, I took on the challenge of putting the story about my vision. I went from almost legally blind for about 45 years to can't drive but OK for 32 more, to very hopeful I'll have 20/20 for the first time in my life! I used a "flower face" image to fill in the missing pixels. :p

Love this challenge. After all, we ARE important in our lives. Thanks for hosting, Anke. I was recently diagnosed with an incurable leukemia. Life expectancy is 10 years, so that's good. I am working out my acceptance with art by creating a series called: Dancing with Death. I created this sketch of me from the good ol' days by using my finger as a stylus on an art program on my iPad. The purple blobs represent my bad cancer cells...because they are coming for me. I hope to find my peace soon, so I can start creating some healing art.

Used the ColorBurst Collab ColorBust and Craft Button's Crafty Buttons" Dia De Los Muertos kit.
