<br />Goodness! How is it Easter already?! If you follow me on my challenge blogs (<b><a href="https://pathofpositivitychallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Path of Positivity</a></b>, <a href="http://12monthsofchristmaslinkup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>The 12 Months or Christmas</b></a>, <b><a href="https://scribblesdesignschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scribbles Designs</a></b>), you will know that the first 3 full months of the year were a bit of a challenge health-wise as I battled one bug after another. I'm finally feeling about 95% better. Just have a few lingering symptoms to get rid off. I also FINALLY have my voice back after an almost 14 week absence. You never really realize how much you rely on your ability to talk until you lose your voice; especially when it was gone for such a long period of time! Hubby is also doing much better and my parents are hanging in there as well. I'd hoped to put something out for St. Pat's day or to celebrate spring but unfortunately, I just wasn't up to it. I was off the computer for a total of 10 days while ill. In [probably] the last 15 years, I haven't missed more than a day or two at a time, so to be off for 10 days, well, it gives you some idea how bad it was in our household. Thankfully, I am getting back on track. Still have several winner announcements to prepare and some other stuff to catch up on, but slowly, I am getting there.<br />
<br />Today, it is time to celebrate Easter. The
Easter Bunny continues to be considered an essential service and as such, will be allowed to travel around the world, popping into homes to leave goodies here and there. <br />
<br />
Hopefully EB will have the opportunity to bring many of you some sweet treats or
fragrant ones. My gifts to you are two digital papers in honour of today…</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XUV3BdEcbVobZKUSebeuXIdpa5IASr82-oZytkHJ_1cwi4Hs9MNgjSXudwFcRX2pb8OiXBBR_xr7OCAqEQF6IjigvKIWvW6gcad591FALNVzxl8QeY_ybETuk3RJjtfhDrnCuvvhWC0TcYWwh91Ojlr98GgavcZkPevIGqCgVcBxp7w91w2iBsx3/s600/DDDoodles_HDBT_Bunny_w_Eggs_Basket_PPs_prev_600px.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XUV3BdEcbVobZKUSebeuXIdpa5IASr82-oZytkHJ_1cwi4Hs9MNgjSXudwFcRX2pb8OiXBBR_xr7OCAqEQF6IjigvKIWvW6gcad591FALNVzxl8QeY_ybETuk3RJjtfhDrnCuvvhWC0TcYWwh91Ojlr98GgavcZkPevIGqCgVcBxp7w91w2iBsx3/s16000/DDDoodles_HDBT_Bunny_w_Eggs_Basket_PPs_prev_600px.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I know that my followers have dropped significantly (my fault entirely for not being around more) but it is still important to know who I am catering more to--scrapbookers or card makers or someone else entirely?

from <b>December 25th to January 5</b> (a total of 12 days), you will need to complete a task and link
something up. Full details can be found in the Day 1 post linked in the above paragraph. Just scroll down to '<i><b>Task</b></i>'
to find out how to participate. Each day that you link up, you'll earn a
free digital paper. Remember, this is as easy or as hard as you want to
make it. It can be as simply as writing down your thought on a piece of
paper or you can spend time getting crafty and come up with something
more elaborate. It is all up to you!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>I
know that this is a crazy busy time of year and hopefully the majority
of you are off-line and spending quality time with the people you love the most; so,
be rest assured, that you will have plenty of time to complete each
task. <b>AS LONG AS</b> all your <b>TASKS</b> are submitted no later than <u><b>11: 59 p.m., EST, January 31</b></u><u><b>st, 2023</b></u>, you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate. <br />

Play along each of the 12 days and you'll earn yourself the full set! So, how about we get started with today's clue!!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span><span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">On the eleventh day of Christmas,<br /> it is time to earn paper number eleven.<br /> It is a very well know fact that, all good designers</span></b></span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>
<span><b>
</b></span>
</span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>
<span><b>
<span style="color: #38761d;"> and card makers go to heaven!!!</span></b></span></span></span></div>
</div>
</div> </div>
</div></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Instructions</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Below
you will find a linky list for you to add an image of your eleventh item. Remember you are adding a picture of:</div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>the item you will be placing in your vessel for today; OR</li><li>the eleventh page from your journal; OR</li><li>any other creative endeavour you have decided to embark on for today. </li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Don't forget that there
will be a new link up for each of the 12 days. That way, I will be able
to keep track of which days you have earned a paper for. If you can't
join in for a particular day, that is okay. As is the same in years
past, you will earn a paper for every day you participate. Join in for
all 12 days and you'll earn the full set of papers! </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you have some time, please go and visit others who have linked up and take a peek
at what they have created. It might be fun and help to inspire you
in your own undertaking. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If
you have any questions, be sure to ask. I'll be checking in most days so I should be able to get an answer back to you
relatively quickly.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">May the happiness you experienced during the holidays, last the whole
year through! See you all tomorrow for day number twelve, the final
day!!!<br />
<br />

I really hope that you
have enjoyed the quest during these last 12 days. Thanks to the two people so far who have decided to play along this year! I really hope that more of you plan to join in. I know that this year's quest was different from previous ones but it certainly wasn't any harder (if you chose a simple version of the task). Hopefully, some of you just need time to get crafty and will join us a bit later in the month.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I still need to put together the credit info for the set and will get it done as soon as I can. With putting the quest on I've been neglecting other things I am supposed to be doing, all with deadlines that are fast approaching. It also doesn't help that I was sick for a full week. Your patience, as
always, is appreciated. And of course, for any of you out there planning to join in, you still have the rest of the month to get
your <b>TASKS</b> completed and added so there is still lots of time to play.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you missed day one click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-for-2022.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>
to start from the beginning and read all the details. It is really
important that you do so because this year's quest is very different
from previous ones and you will need to link up in order to join in.

from <b>December 25th to January 5</b> (a total of 12 days), you will need to complete a task and link
something up. Full details can be found in the Day 1 post linked in the above paragraph. Just scroll down to '<i><b>Task</b></i>'
to find out how to participate. Each day that you link up, you'll earn a
free digital paper. Remember, this is as easy or as hard as you want to
make it. It can be as simply as writing down your thought on a piece of
paper or you can spend time getting crafty and come up with something
more elaborate. It is all up to you!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>I
know that this is a crazy busy time of year and hopefully the majority
of you are off-line and spending quality time with the people you love the most; so,
be rest assured, that you will have plenty of time to complete each
task. <b>AS LONG AS</b> all your <b>TASKS</b> are submitted no later than <u><b>11: 59 p.m., EST, January 31</b></u><u><b>st, 2023</b></u>, you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Instructions</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Below
you will find a linky list for you to add an image of your twelfth item.

past, you will earn a paper for every day you participate. Join in for
all 12 days and you'll earn the full set of papers! </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you have some time, please go and visit others who have linked up and take a peek

I hope that you
are off to a wonderful start as the hustle and bustle of the
new year begins!<br />
<br />
It is the ninth day of Christmas and it is time to continue the quest. If you missed day one click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-for-2022.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>
to start from the beginning and read all the details. It is really
important that you do so because this year's quest is very different
from previous ones and you will need to link up in order to join in. Then, to check out the paper for day two, click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-day-two.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and for day three, click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-day-three.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. You can find the paper for day four by clicking <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-day-four.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and the paper for day five by clicking <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-day-five.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

from <b>December 25th to January 5</b> (a total of 12 days), you will need to complete a task and link
something up. Full details can be found in the Day 1 post linked in the above paragraph. Just scroll down to '<i><b>Task</b></i>'
to find out how to participate. Each day that you link up, you'll earn a
free digital paper. Remember, this is as easy or as hard as you want to
make it. It can be as simply as writing down your thought on a piece of
paper or you can spend time getting crafty and come up with something
more elaborate. It is all up to you!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>I
know that this is a crazy busy time of year and hopefully the majority
of you are off-line and spending quality time with the people you love the most; so,
be rest assured, that you will have plenty of time to complete each
task. <b>AS LONG AS</b> all your <b>TASKS</b> are submitted no later than <u><b>11: 59 p.m., EST, January 31</b></u><u><b>st, 2023</b></u>, you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate. <br />

brand new year! I wonder what 2023 has in store for all of us?! Both my hubby and I have been rather sick since Christmas Day. So far I've been managing to stay a day or two ahead with each day of the quest. Hopefully I can continue. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> <br />
It is currently the seventh day of Christmas and it is time to continue the quest. If you missed day one click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-for-2022.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>

If you missed day one click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-for-2022.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>
to start from the beginning and read all the details. It is really
important that you do so because this year's quest is very different
from previous ones and you will need to link up in order to join in. Then, to check out the paper for day two, click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-day-two.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and for day three, click <a href="https://decossesdynamitedoodles.blogspot.com/2022/12/the-12-days-of-christmas-quest-day-three.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. <br /> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As a quick refresher, each day
from <b>December 25th to January 5</b> (a total of 12 days), you will need to complete a task and link
something up. Full details can be found in the Day 1 post linked in the above paragraph. Just scroll down to '<i><b>Task</b></i>'
to find out how to participate. Each day that you link up, you'll earn a
free digital paper. Remember, this is as easy or as hard as you want to
make it. It can be as simply as writing down your thought on a piece of
paper or you can spend time getting crafty and come up with something
more elaborate. It is all up to you!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"> </div>I
know that this is a crazy busy time of year and hopefully the majority
of you are off-line and spending quality time with the people you love the most; so,
be rest assured, that you will have plenty of time to complete each
task. <b>AS LONG AS</b> all your <b>TASKS</b> are submitted no later than <u><b>11: 59 p.m., EST, January 31</b></u><u><b>st, 2023</b></u>, you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate. <br />

Is anybody still with me?! I'd understand if you all left. After all, it has been a full year since I've posted on this blog. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Happy Chanukkah to all my Jewish
friends! Feliz Navidad, Kwanzaa Blessings and Happy Holidays to
everyone else!</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">How has your year been? Mine has passed in a whirlwind of worry, stress, trials, health issues (both my own and others close to me), the unexpected loss of three family members (on both mine and hubby's sides) and a friend (some of you may fondly remember Ike of Ike's Art who sadly lost her battle with cancer earlier in the year). While there have been many challenges, there have also been blessings too. We got to visit my parents three times this year, the last time celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary in November! Raymond got a contract working full time from home with Statistics Canada last December. While his hours for the next quarter have been cut almost in half, that is still okay because for the last number of years with his old job, he only worked roughly three months the whole year. This new employment is allowing us to put money aside to replace and fix everything that is falling apart in the house. And while I don't know how long he can continue, he is 72 after all, it is blessing to have had the extra money come in this year. The best thing is that he works from home which saves on gas and clothing, and it means he doesn't have to head out each day in the car during the winter! And, if you've ever been to northern Ontario in the winter, you will know what a blessing that is! <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I continue to manage three different challenge blogs but that has left me with little time to do any crafting. Other than a special card and creation for my parents' 60th and one for the 35th anniversary of the day R. and I started going out together, I've made so few cards this year. Sheesh, it took me until late yesterday (Dec. 24th) to get hubby's Christmas card made. As you can see, I also didn't get a single freebie created this year to share on my personal blog. That saddens me and I don't know if next year will be any different. There is something big coming to me in the new year that I just can't talk about right now. It will definitely have a huge impact on my time. You'll just have to stick around until the early fall of 2023 to see what all the hubbub is about!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While I haven't been able to post anything yet this year, I am determined that I get back on track with the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>12 Days of Christmas</b></span>, and I hope that you will join in. It is a completely different format this year but I anticipate that at least a few of you may be interested in going on the newest quest.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Here is the plan. Each day
over the next 12 days, you will need to complete a task and link something up. Full details can be found below. Each day that you participate, you'll earn a free digital paper. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I
know that this is a crazy busy time of year and hopefully the majority
of you are off-line and spending quality time with the people you love the most; so,
be rest assured, that you will have plenty of time to complete each
task. <b>AS LONG AS</b> all your <b>TASKS</b> are submitted no later than <u><b>11: 59 p.m., EST, January 31st, 2023</b></u>, you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate. <br />

</span>Play along each of the 12 days and you'll earn yourself the full set! So, how about we get started with today's task?!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span><b><span>On the first day of Christmas,<br /> it is time to earn paper number one, <br /> So, I hope that you will all join in<br /> and have yourself a little bit of fun!!!</span></b></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span><span><b>Task</b>:</span></span></span> </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">We could all do with a bit more happiness, positivity and/or gratitude in our lives. 2023 is just around the corner, and this activity will help you get the year off to a good start. While in the past I have had you answer a question or check out an online store, this year I am going to task you with getting busy. There are three different avenues you can explore:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>happiness </li><li>gratitude</li><li>positivity</li></ul>Here is a more in-depth breakdown of the three different options:</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZD_5v4cj4qqVLnmCZ7zkXlQsME3Fwz-quDpCltHeRk3290bgF7d4zZ6KQm6HxmMfjrRhbj15KfNDkBpL3YDS-wzXEXSQ00872oEb7BfI0MbX2Tlp9UagMlp2ozdBr7qzBPkbksH_euT8dTg-cKXfi00X_yXdxb04ZVifSO8ZdXGKpr915h9uJqsv/s600/DDDoodles_Happiness_Jar_600px.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTZD_5v4cj4qqVLnmCZ7zkXlQsME3Fwz-quDpCltHeRk3290bgF7d4zZ6KQm6HxmMfjrRhbj15KfNDkBpL3YDS-wzXEXSQ00872oEb7BfI0MbX2Tlp9UagMlp2ozdBr7qzBPkbksH_euT8dTg-cKXfi00X_yXdxb04ZVifSO8ZdXGKpr915h9uJqsv/s16000/DDDoodles_Happiness_Jar_600px.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It is very easy to fixate on all the bad moments that happen each day. Getting up late, burning your toast, getting into an argument, are but just a few examples. They might be little but they can pile up and we end up focusing on the negative. If we were to take the time to write out our happiest moment of the day and put it into a jar, then we are in effect flipping the switch and training our brains to take a look at the environment around us and search for the positive instead of the negative. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you choose to create a <b>Happiness Jar</b> for your project, then each day from Dec. 25th to Jan. 5th, write down something that made you happy and link it up to the corresponding day's linky list. The ultimate goal is to keep it up for a year. However, for the purposes of this challenge, you just need to do it for one to 12 days. Hopefully though, you will continue on with your project and keep it up. Just imagine how many wonderful memories you will have to go through once your year is up!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9vyK1W9naEugoAWatqDVV5sIqB6mNs4ztHo3y0mvOevcwJZ06vS8h9OTBFOnsu48IewfkYHECYrkEEXPtaIOV9kFpA6p3hlfn6ASTW05_zcjt9O_nBOOX66DxrsTWesijUOJYKaG1Wd3h-LYAnXhdLfuE7Epr_L3kXnExWCEroshcL4dtb7lkb5jT/s600/DDDoodles_Gratitude_Jar_600px.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9vyK1W9naEugoAWatqDVV5sIqB6mNs4ztHo3y0mvOevcwJZ06vS8h9OTBFOnsu48IewfkYHECYrkEEXPtaIOV9kFpA6p3hlfn6ASTW05_zcjt9O_nBOOX66DxrsTWesijUOJYKaG1Wd3h-LYAnXhdLfuE7Epr_L3kXnExWCEroshcL4dtb7lkb5jT/s16000/DDDoodles_Gratitude_Jar_600px.png" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><b>Enjoy the little things in life because one day you'll </b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><b>look back and realize they were the big things.</b> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Expressing gratitude is strongly tied into and associated with greater happiness in our life. The simple act of showing gratitude can help us to feel more positive emotions, think about and focus on all the good experiences that we have had through the years, improve our health, help us to deal with adversity, and aid us to build strong relationships with the people around us. During difficult times, being able to show gratitude is even more important as it can help us to cope, help us reduce negative thinking and improve our overall well-being. When thinking about the things that we are grateful for, don't forget about the small things that are often overlooked. Being grateful each day isn't just being thankful for all the big things in life. As the quote above indicates, the little things can be just as, if not more, important.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you choose to create a <b>Gratitude Jar</b> for your project, then each day from Dec. 25th to Jan. 5th,
write down one thing that you are grateful for and link it up to the corresponding day's linky list. The ultimate goal is to keep
it up for a year. However, for the purposes of this challenge, you just need to
do it for one to 12 days. Once you get into the routine though, hopefully you will continue on with your
project and keep it up. Can you imagine listing 365 things that you are grateful for?! Imagine what that can do for your mental and physical health!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> <br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsFZHoZ4KfaQ8n4B0c0RiP6inITq7JgIcFYUV0MbggYq9KkyaL5x-kr3HDapOXo1qefjZTP1TltDnf1127MOQ46XakNGxDvISATIPODpj2nb37gaP0QAfAOckN0fXek_ldwLg7ju6C73iMhn3un3I5jC6bneXHqc2fMTvgk44dj9iJq-JvMp65NVab/s600/DDDoodles_Positivity_Jar_600px.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsFZHoZ4KfaQ8n4B0c0RiP6inITq7JgIcFYUV0MbggYq9KkyaL5x-kr3HDapOXo1qefjZTP1TltDnf1127MOQ46XakNGxDvISATIPODpj2nb37gaP0QAfAOckN0fXek_ldwLg7ju6C73iMhn3un3I5jC6bneXHqc2fMTvgk44dj9iJq-JvMp65NVab/s16000/DDDoodles_Positivity_Jar_600px.png" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: left;">The Positivity Jar is very similar to the other two ideas, it is just broader in its scope of what you can add. The benefits are the same as with the first two options (which you can read above if you've simply skipped to this concept). </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you choose to create a <b>Positivity Jar </b>for your project, then each day from Dec. 25th to Jan. 5th,
add a positive quote, write down a happy memory or something you are thankful for, or add a special memento of the day, or anything else that makes you feel good and link it up to the corresponding day's linky list. As with the other two options, the ultimate goal is to
keep
it up for the full year. However, for the purposes of this challenge, you just need to
do it for one to 12 days. If you do continue with it, just think of all those awesome thoughts and memories you will have to look back on once a full year has gone by!</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>Summary</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">You can make this as easy or as difficult as you would like it to be. While my explanations of the three
different avenues have all been based on creating a 'jar', you can choose from
various vessels to hold your ideas by using one of the following:<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>a jar</li><li>a box</li><li>a journal</li><li>an empty tissue container<br /></li><li>some other creatively made vessel that would hold a number of different items or thoughts written down<br /></li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you want to keep things really simple, all you
need is some paper, a pen, and a jar or other vessel. It isn't important where you put your information. It is more important that you keep it somewhere safe in a place that you can refer back to when you
want to reflect on moments of happiness, gratitude or other positive thoughts in the years to come. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you have the time to be a bit more artistic, you could create some ATCs with images and colours and write your statement on the back of it. Or, you could spend even more time on your project by creating a journal that you add to daily. For ex., if your choice is to make a gratitude jar you could create an ATC for Christmas Day that has "happy to be spending Christmas with my whole family". If you choose happiness or positivity as your avenue to explore, your jar/box/journal could be filled with any type of quote or message to help inspire you when you need it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">There are lots of posts out there on how to create happiness jars, positivity jars, and gratitude jars if you need some further ideas and details. A quick Google search will have you on your way. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Instructions</b></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">Below you will find a linky list for you to add your very first item. Once you have decided on your overall concept, add a picture of:</div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>the item you will be placing in your vessel for today; OR</li><li>the page from your journal; OR</li><li>whatever other creative endeavour you have decided to embark on. </li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">There will be a new link up for each of the 12 days. That way, I will be able to keep track of which days you have earned a paper for. If you can't join in for a particular day, that is okay. As is the same in years past, you will earn a paper for every day you participate. Join in for all 12 days and you'll earn the full set of papers! </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I encourage you to go and visit anyone who has linked up and take a peek at what that person has created. It might be fun and help to inspire you in your own undertaking. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a busy time of year for me too and I also want to spend some
time with my hubby as well; so, I ask that you please be patient with
me. I generally wait until the entire quest is over so that way if
someone has participated in all 12 Days, I can just save time and send
out the full set at once. So I'll make a list (and check it twice 😉)
throughout the <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">12 Days of Christmas Quest</span></b></span>
keeping track of who has participated and then work on sending out
papers once the event has wrapped up. Don't forget, due to the nature of this year's quest, I am giving you LOTS of time to get your entries added. Hopefully, the February 1st deadline will encourage more people to join in! </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you have any questions, be sure to ask. I'll be checking in most days over the next week so I should be able to get an answer back to you relatively quickly.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas, my wonderful friends, followers and readers! See you all tomorrow for day number two!!!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

It has been another interesting year, hasn't it?! While I was hoping that this year would be a better one than last, it too provided many challenges. I know that I am not alone in that but here is a bit of an update on how it has been for myself and my family.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I seemed to bookend the year a bit with battling a couple of infections. One at the end of February and one at the end of October. Both took a lot out of me but I recovered from each of them. As always, I also had my regular health issues to deal with but managed to handle them for the most part. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">One of the health issues that increased this year was my anxiety and propensity to become depressed. For the last number of years I have worked very hard to not fall back into the black depression I had when I first became disabled back in the early 2000s. These last couple years, it has been an increased challenge to stay mentally healthy. Though, I think that this year has been even more of a struggle than last, on that front. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">A part of that has had to do with worry for my parents. My dad is now 81 and my mom is 76, and each has their own health issues to deal with including cancers that each have battled. My dad also has lymphodema which affects his ability to feel his feet. Due to this, he has had a number of bad falls this year. The two most recent ones saw him having to be taken to the hospital. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We had the opportunity to go
and visit my parents for the first time in two years at the end of
November. We had all finally been double vaccinated. There was no way that I would visit them before I had my second jab as a big fear of mine was that
somehow I would pick up the bug travelling and pass it on to my
parents who both are immunocompromised. Plus, my father was just finishing up a bad cold at the time that had been going on for three weeks already, so his immune system was low. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Instead of our scheduled four days we ended up staying six
days which was wonderful but the time went by much too fast. Thankfully, dad's cold symptoms were almost completely gone as well by the time we departed. A week after we returned home my dad started to feel ill again and two days later, had another bad fall which put him back in the hospital for the 2nd time in two months. Unfortunately, it wasn't only the ramifications of the fall that he had to deal with this time around. He ended up testing positive for covid. We were all stunned because my father hadn't been out of the apartment since he was released from the hospital at the end of October. Sure he had had a bad cold but he had finally healed from it by that time. I was terrified that someone my hubby and I had brought the germs into the apartment with us but neither of us got sick. In fact, my hubby ended up randomly being tested for covid when visiting his sister at a nursing home so we knew that he didn't have it, and with my immune system, there is no way that I would stay asymptomatic. So, we figured that one of the people who deliver groceries, one of the PSWs who enter the apartment, or one of the purchases that came into the house must be how it entered his system. We'll probably never know. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">He was admitted to the hospital on the 5th of December; and in addition to covid, he was also diagnosed with pneumonia. He was put on high oxygen, given antibiotics and medications for covid. He had a horrific cough that once started took a long time to dissipate but his spirits remained good. While mom managed to remain symptom free for a couple days, it was inevitable that she become sick as well. At 2:00 a.m., on Dec. 8th, the struggle was too much so she called an ambulance. Later that same day, against the wishes of their family doctor, my dad was sent home. There was no way he should have been sent home yet, and the fact that he was there alone was alarming to me which of course further spiked my anxiety. I spent the
next three days desperately trying to convince my father to call an
ambulance and head
back in as he had progressively gotten worse since his release. He was seriously struggling to breath and could barely walk at all. He
finally relented on the evening of Dec. 11th and it was a good thing, as he was
considered critical the next morning. He ended up in the same room as my mom and she was so worried that morning watching as the doctors worked with him. He now had bacterial pneumonia on top of the covid and his lungs were struggling. Once again he was back on oxygen, this time at 80%. It was a scary couple of days waiting for him to improve. While mom didn't sound any better to me, she was released on Dec. 14th. My thoughts at the time were focused on worrying
about dad in the hospital and my mom alone at home. Thankfully, either a PSW or a member of the Covid Team came by to the apartment each weekday to check on her. There was very little she was able to do for herself as her main complaints were exhaustion and weakness. Dad remained on oxygen, though it was decreased a little each day, until they released him on the 19th. Both are extremely weak,
exhausted and dealing with the lingering effects of covid (and for my
dad, the after effects of having a bad pneumonia as well). Thankfully,
for now they continue to have a personal support worker or someone from the Covid
Team, checking on them daily throughout the weekdays but it is
definitely a challenge for the two of them to look after themselves
properly when they are so weak. It has become difficult for them to take care of themselves during normal times, never mind right now. They have been told that it will take
MONTHS before they are back to their normal selves. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">While the year had been tougher in general for me, this past month has been almost unbearable. Living so far from them has certainly taken its toll. As
a
result, most of my time was spent dealing with this
current crisis. I checked in on each of them daily and helped them from afar with stuff as I was able to. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As you can well imagine, this also has limited my time on the computer. As such, I had to change things by postponing certain events and challenges with the three teams and challenge blogs that I manage. It also means that I will not be able to complete my annual 12 Days of Christmas. Believe me, I went back and forth on this decision over and over again but finally decided that my mental health has to come first. So this is where the apology comes in. While I typically have less than 15 people join in each year, I know that most of the participants really look forward to it. I do as well, as it provides me with an opportunity to get to know players a little bit more each year. It is my fondest hope that I might be able to do it or something similar later in the year but if the past two years are any indication, I can't make that guarantee. So, my sincere apologies for not being able to provide The 12 Days of Christmas this year. I also apologize that I haven't been as active with freebies again this past year. Time just isn't on my side at all anymore it seems.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Now that all being said, I did manage to find the time to create a free paper in honour of Christmas. I'm not sure about the rest of the world but I know that most of us in Canada are once again not having the
Christmas that we are normally used to. However, even in these strange
circumstances I truly hope you have (or have had, depending on
your location in the world) a wonderful day with the people in your
household, and if you're in a location that is doing well, time with
close family and/or friends.<br />
<br />
As always, it is my firm belief that everyone should get at least one present on this day. So here is my Christmas gift to you...</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicHrfKrSV4p_GolZOzQzzGdgqyelYbSITrcXvfnyJJmqpZDWrF-oTmN_cfI04vWCeWQpKDB7ljmx2E06iP1Pay3jntVXXyeYfUGJQmyetwYXzGixDisslKQ_LGfPsAqO6QsQobnSnUQhxEJuaAf5UVSNLjzoUwfKZ-uLjwVSTuSaj8WeD_Zc0q8YU6=s600" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicHrfKrSV4p_GolZOzQzzGdgqyelYbSITrcXvfnyJJmqpZDWrF-oTmN_cfI04vWCeWQpKDB7ljmx2E06iP1Pay3jntVXXyeYfUGJQmyetwYXzGixDisslKQ_LGfPsAqO6QsQobnSnUQhxEJuaAf5UVSNLjzoUwfKZ-uLjwVSTuSaj8WeD_Zc0q8YU6=s16000" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm popping in today to announce the next challenge over at <b><a href="http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.ca/">Pattie's Creations Design Challenge</a></b>.

I hope that each of you is continuing to
stay healthy
in your own
little corner of this world as we continue our battle with Covid-19. My region was in lockdown from March 19th Until just this week. Our numbers in Ontario have thankfully been starting to come down a little bit. While the stay at home order has been lifted, all the restrictions are still in place. In-class learning has been cancelled for the final weeks of the school year. For the sake of our vulnerable students everywhere, I really hope that by Sept. our schools at least can reopen. While staying positive can be difficult at times, I have to keep trying and hoping for even small changes. <br /></p>

Hello there folks! I hope that each of you is continuing to
stay healthy
in your own
little corner of this world as we continue our battle with Covid-19.
We've now been in lockdown in my region since March 19th and it doesn't seem like there is an end in sight. While many countries seem to be improving, Canada seems to be headed in the wrong direction. We were doing very well during the first year compared to many countries but since January, in certain provinces, things have gotten so much worse. I really hope there is a change soon.<br /></p>

(& update on 12DoC papers)<div style="text-align: left;">Okay, so I'm starting to sound like a broken record. In the aftermath of dealing with some health and personal issues, I just haven't had the time to get the papers sent out to those who joined in for <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>The 12 Days of Christmas</b></span>.
I will go through the rest of the comments and
get the list compiled as soon as I am capable of doing so and I
appreciate your continued patience.<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-5286231789381357122" itemprop="description articleBody"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now for the other reason for today's post.

For some of us in this world, we're in the exact same position as last year at this time; unfortunately, in a situation where we are forced to celebrate Easter a little bit
differently than most of us normally would. Here in my home town, we've been in lockdown over two weeks again and with the numbers continuing to go up with all these variants, it is hard to say when it will end. If you yourself are in a location where meeting with those outside your home is also prohibited, I can certainly sympathize. Thankfully, with all the technology available these days,
reaching out to our loved ones is easier than ever. I hope that you have
the opportunity to connect virtually or by phone with those you love
during this special long weekend.<br />
<br />
Just like last year, since the
Easter Bunny is considered an essential service, he will again receive special dispensation allowing him to cross borders and travel into each of the Canadian provinces--as long as he is supplied with the special equipment he needs to do his job
safely. I hope that the Easter Bunny has received permission
to travel to your part of the world as well.<br />
<br />
Hopefully EB will have the opportunity to bring most of you some sweet treats or
fragrant ones. My gift to you is this digital paper in honour of today…</div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtNqxgnt8wxbPd9a1Oy05L9CnqH5J0wm4cNBzVCC10USqCYza4m40_Ua7ZHRHgtGS58TKN2xcelp0caIXlHD30iBplHiQ_3OBcUV5kBqEyjGH3gSuUDN9v3z_RzwCklCfqrq4rK2x1xM/s600/DDDoodles_EasterEggs-Strav_Blue_Eggs_prev.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtNqxgnt8wxbPd9a1Oy05L9CnqH5J0wm4cNBzVCC10USqCYza4m40_Ua7ZHRHgtGS58TKN2xcelp0caIXlHD30iBplHiQ_3OBcUV5kBqEyjGH3gSuUDN9v3z_RzwCklCfqrq4rK2x1xM/s16000/DDDoodles_EasterEggs-Strav_Blue_Eggs_prev.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello there folks! I hope that each of you is continuing to
stay healthy
in your own
little corner of this world as we continue our battle with Covid-19.
We've been in lockdown in my region for over two weeks again, and I'm just praying for the day that we get this virus under some sort of control! Like many of you, I miss being able to see my loved ones!<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">

Between getting bad news that a close family member has cancer to dealing with a bacterial infection that really did a job on me, it hasn't been an easy time. I will go through the rest of the comments and get the list compiled as soon as I am capable of doing so and I appreciate your continued patience.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now for the other reason for today's post.

there who celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I have a brand new freebie for you in honour of the emerald isle.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Check it out...</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUa_j_sPNasAk57uQ4XLtJtN6yeOtc0QGKCGgguy56eXeyk_JTUauEWH-2RkrpJpUzCKEE7d4bf1f9qaefVHkyOtDlUParHRV8lZ9zRoNRtmgEHmlUM-_px6ykpl7PzDdvk9usSny-sk/s600/DDDoodles_LotI_March17_prev.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUa_j_sPNasAk57uQ4XLtJtN6yeOtc0QGKCGgguy56eXeyk_JTUauEWH-2RkrpJpUzCKEE7d4bf1f9qaefVHkyOtDlUParHRV8lZ9zRoNRtmgEHmlUM-_px6ykpl7PzDdvk9usSny-sk/s16000/DDDoodles_LotI_March17_prev.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello there folks! I hope that each of you is continuing to
stay healthy
in your own
little corner of this world as we continue our battle with Covid-19. While the vaccines start to roll out, hopefully our world will start to get a little better and much healthier if only these variants would stop developing!</p><p style="text-align: left;">
I'm popping in today to announce the next challenge over at <b><a href="http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.ca/">Pattie's Creations Design Challenge</a></b>.
