OK, the next SoShelli.com Creative Challenge is pretty much a no-brainer—I mean, given this time of year, it pretty much has to be about giving thanks, don’t you think? Now, of course, I recognize that many of you don’t live in the United States, but those of you who live in Canada just celebrated Thanksgiving, and many other countries celebrate a day of thanksgiving in one form or another at some point throughout the year. So, although Thanksgiving is not a worldwide holiday, I hope you’ll all understand and agree that it’s a great focus for a challenge, whether you’re officially celebrating it or not.

So, what are the guidelines? Pretty wide open--create a project that shows or documents something(s) you’re thankful for. It can be a card, scrapbook page, favor, gift—whatever, just have fun with it and remember to be thankful for Stampin’ Up! while you’re working on it. (smile)

A couple of things to keep in mind—

• This challenge will go through November 15, when I’ll post a new one (and I bet you can’t guess what that topic will be. . . ).
• When you submit your project, please make sure the link works. There are a few links this month that didn’t work when I clicked on them. (See instructions for posting a submission below.) While I borrowed these instructions from similar contests and checked them out before posting them, I’m not an IT expert, and I have discovered that, in the world of computers and the Internet, even when I follow instructions exactly, things don't always happen like they’re supposed to, so be sure to check out your link after you've posted it. 
• Also when you provide your link, if you could have it link only to your single submission, it would sure help me a lot. It’s very time consuming (not to mention sometimes confusing) for me to have to sort through several projects and try to figure out which one is THE one. I’d appreciate that.

I’ll post the winners for the Halloween SoShelli Creative Challenge in the next couple of days. Thanks so much for your interest and support of this idea; it’s fun to see all your projects. As always, I’m inspired when I see what other people can do with a little rubber, ink, and paper.
