As a quick refresher, each day during the 12 Days of Christmas (Dec. 25th to Jan. 5th), you're going to be given a task to follow. I'll be asking you questions to find out how the pandemic has impacted your life over the last year--how it has affected you, what things you've had to do differently, how you've had to adjust your life--that kind of idea. You will be able to leave your daily answer in a comment on the post for each respective day. If you follow the instructions for each day, you'll earn a free digital paper.

Since this is a busy time of year for most people, you will have plenty of time to complete the quest. It is completely up to you as to when you submit your answers (daily, all at once at the end, or otherwise). AS LONG AS ALL your TASKS are submitted, no later than January 12th, 2021, then you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate.

Here is the paper up for grabs today...

 

 

This paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. Credits include: Tanata Design (via Creative Fabrica), Julie Campbell Designs (via DesignBundles) and Sheila Reid (both via Pixel Scrapper). In the zip folder that will be emailed should you successfully complete the quest, you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

 

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?!!

 

On the tenth day of Christmas,
it is time to earn paper number ten.
I'm running out of things to say, so I'll just say,
good tidings to all animals, children,
women & men!!!

 

Task:

This past year has given us an opportunity for a lot of reflection. What is the most surprising thing you've learned this year either about yourself, your family or a new skill that you picked up?

 

For myself, I've always know that I was empathetic. Now while that is often a positive trait, I found that my empathy was on overload and I didn't know how to shut it down. At times it felt like I could feel the whole world's pain which was completely overbearing. I had to find a way to function because I couldn't manage like that. In a million years I would never have guessed that there was such a thing as having too much empathy but I found myself surprised by this very fact.

When you come up with a response for today's task, simply leave your response in a comment on THIS POST. Now for many of you, especially those who have played in previous years, the odds are that I should have your e-mail address in order to send out the free paper you earn. If you are new to the quest or are not sure whether I might have your email address, please be sure to also leave your email address in your comment. If you would prefer to keep your address private, then check out the bottom paragraph from Day 1 for how to send it to me.

May your travels this year be safe ones! See you all tomorrow for day number eleven!!!

Cheers!

On the fifth day of Christmas,
it is time to earn paper number five.
Just a few precious minutes of your time,
and you'll get to keep the quest alive!!!

Task:

Due to lockdowns and shutdowns many people found themselves with extra time on their hands. Did you find yourself doing MORE or LESS crafting this past year or the same as you typically would do? If you found yourself doing more or less, what was the reason in your particular situation?

 

For myself, the on-going lockdowns and shut downs didn't affect my time. As I don't work and my hubby's job was considered essential, we didn't find ourselves with any extra time. Unfortunately, it was another crazy busy year and I didn't find myself with time to actually get any crafting done. I'm still looking for ways to pare down my hours on the computer each day but for now, it is what it is.

Freebie: Happy Hallowe'en 2019

Hello on this rather cold, wet and snowy Hallowe'en night! Today marks the first snowfall of the year for our area and what terrible timing. It is usually cold on Hallowe'en and sometimes rainy but this year the poor kids have to battle both the cold AND the rain PLUS some wet snow thrown in!!!! That would probably account for the fact that kids have approached our door less than a handful of times this evening. While it has dwindled significantly over the last several years, I think tonight will be our lowest record yet.

While hubby has been downstairs handing out treats to the few who have braved the weather, I've been up here on the computer getting stuff ready for the first of the month and of course making you all a Hallowe'en themed digi paper. Now I am aware that some of you do not celebrate Hallowe'en, but as I've mentioned in years past, Hallowe'en is actually of Christian origin. Whether you celebrate it or not, maybe you can find some use for this year's freebie.

Check out the preview...

This digital paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. I've used resources from Prettygrafik Design via DesignBundles and Pixel Scrapper. Full credits in the file. To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

Pop back here tomorrow for info on the latest challenge over at Pattie's Creations or join me at The 12 Months of Christmas for our newest link up or at Scribbles Designs for our midway. It is packed day and hopefully I'll manage to get everything done on time!

Until next time,
