And this is how i arrived at choosing STILL for your challenge this week...i want to see how those things in your life STILL make an impact...are STILL ever present...and are STILL a grounding force in amongst a time of year when we see the need for change.
Here is what I came up with. Here is my sample:)
My journaling reads:

Still just a girl.

ROADBLOCK On Amazing race.
Oops, your luggage has been misplaced on route to your next destination. Hangout in the airport while you wait for your luggage, and do a spot of duty free shopping while taking in the sites.
For this roadblock, you have 2 options....
1. Scrap a layout that includes a clearly visible camera or an item you can buy duty free, this is the one I did.
OR
2. partake in a photo challenge! Use your imagination to upload pics of the following...
a. a tourist
b. an aeroplane
c. a souvenir
d. luggage
e. the view out of the (plane) window
Buddin Photograper Until next week, I'll be posting more Lo. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day. Mary |

Amazing Race Stop 5 Europe
This leg of the race sees us landing in Europe...
Few places pack the punch of Europe. From its Northern Lights to its Southern shores, this drama queen keeps on thrilling, surprising and confusing with her extraordinary wealth of sights, sounds, peoples and parties.
Overwhelming it can be, confusing for sure – just perusing a map of the crowded Old World will reveal cities, mountain ranges, seas and even countries you may never have even heard of. But the good news is that whatever you decide to do here, you’ll leave blown away by the sights, sounds, tastes and other sensations you’ll experience: there simply is no way to tour Europe and not be awestruck!
Here we got to pick either: Holland, France, or Italy.
I pick Holland.
Hallo (hello in dutch) you have made it to HOLLAND!
Your sponsor for this leg of your journey is the wonderful Chloe and her gorgeous 'Rainbow Splendour' creations! If you bought the kit you may have already noticed a cute Rainbow Splendour pinwheel. This can be used to help you meet one of the criteria for this challenge.
The criteria to be include on your layout for this country are as follows:
1. A photo with MORE than two people to represent the dense population of Holland
2. Use some orange (must be visible) to support the national colour
3. Include a pinwheel as you can't go far without seeing a windmill

October's Word challenge
October's Word Challenge over at Soul Scrappers is
TODAY
You be surprised by how many times you use the word Today.
know that each day i start a thread called "today i will"...and it has been cool (& a lot of help organization wise) to have someplace where i can sit for a few minutes & create my plan for the day...lots of it is all that mundane house-wife-y stuff...the laundry, the bills, vacuuming, call this person, don't forget that, etc...its all that stuff of the everyday...yeah...not too exciting lots of times...but despite it's lack of luster, I've learned immensely from it...

My journaling reads This:
This is the beginning of a new day.
You have been given this day to use as you will.
You can waste it or use it for good.
What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...
let it be something good.<----Amby Nic Montage
