Trick or Treat . . . for Challenge YOUrself!

Hi everyone!

Today is the first day of the November challenge at Challenge YOUrself!

It's a month's challenge blog that encourages you to make pages with photos with YOU in the frame!

This month's theme is all about friends!

I just attended a Halloween party given by a dear friend who adopted her daughter around the same time John and I adopted ours.  We have become life long friends with the parents of our adopted children!  Here is the photo that was taken of all of the moms:

And here is my completed page:

And some close-ups:

This month's random winner's prize is a fabulous 12 x 12 Echo Park scrapbooking kit:

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you get a chance to participate in our friendship challenge this month!  Hugs!!

Here is my completed page.  I followed the sketch very closely this time:

Here is a close up:
