I'm blogging in the comfort of my jammies this morning with my Christmas tree aglow, my kitten (Boo) in her usual spot lying across my left arm as I try to type, and my one decadent cup of coffee at hand. This end-of-year time gets busy on every level -- at work we're wrapping up projects for this year and forecasting what's to come for 2008, and at home I'm making gift lists, organizing cookie exchanges and anticipating all the joy that Christmas brings. So I'm taking this quiet, early-morning moment to chat with y'all. (Thanks for joining me for coffee this a.m.!)

We issued a creativity challenge on Tuesday 11/27 (scroll down to read all the details) and we already have a couple great entries in the forum. TOTALSCRAPPER posted an Andy-Warhol inspired layout entitled Catitudes (Boo loves it!) and LSHORTS posted Moonlight Kisses (adorable!). Someone is going to win a prize package from KI Memories worth more than $80, so take some time out of your own busy schedule and create a response to our black-&-white challenge. You deserve some fun, too, as you're balancing the demands of life.

CLARIFICATION for the challenge: Within your 8.5x11 layout there may be one 5x7 area of color or colored/patterned paper.

I'll leave you with this quote:

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
~Jimi Hendrix

peace and love,
