Not A Creature Was Stirring…Day 5

 Hello folks! By the end of today, our Not A Creature Was Stirring Christmas Celebration officially comes to an end. Over the course of the last five days, I have popped by to showcase creations from our Design Team.

During our event this year, we are paying homage to the many furry and feathered friends associated with the holiday season . As such, each team member's creation will feature one of Sandy's beloved animal or bird images. Janice is is here today to continue our Celebration with this sweet card...

Janice has used #228 Twinkle Brrr for her card.

 

Complete today's task for a chance to win this image!

 

#228 Twinkle Brrr

 

Today's Task:

• Please leave us a comment letting us know the following:
• Sandy has quite a number of images with animals and birds. Her most famous ones are Brrr (a penguin), Woolley (a sheep) and Carl (a frog) in their various iterations; but, there happen to be many, many more in the store--cats, dogs, bears, bunnies, birds, etc. For our final question, we want to know, which of Sandy's images that features an animal or bird happens to be YOUR FAVOURITE? If you need a refresher, you can check them out in the store HERE. To narrow your search, click on the various animal and bird related categories in the sidebar.
  

The names of those people who submit responses completing today's task will be put into a draw for the image shown above. One random winner will be chosen to receive a copy of today's featured image. Draw will be held on Jan 14th and the winner announcement for the entire celebration will be posted soon thereafter [okay, as soon as I can manage it].

While our Not A Creature Was Stirring Christmas Celebration has come to an end, don't forget that you still have until January 14th, 2023, to complete all the tasks and link up to the associated challenge.

Well that is it for today! To give myself and the team a bit of a break there will be no midway post for the current challenge. I will try and pop by the first week or so of January to post a simple reminder. Additionally, since our Inspiration team participated during our Christmas event, there will be no monthly Inspiration post. Instead, we will return on January 15th with our first challenge of the new year [as long as everything goes according to plan]; though, I may be back before the end of the year with a special post that you won't want to miss…hint, hint. See you again soon!

Not A Creature Was Stirring…Day 1

Hello folks!  Welcome to Day One of our Not A Creature Was Stirring Christmas Celebration! If you missed yesterday's post with the challenge link up, please click HERE to check it out.

 

Celebrated around the world, Christmas time means different things to different cultures. Yet, beneath all of our various differences, there happens to be a universal need at this time of year to share and recognize the most extraordinary things that we have in our lives with others: family, faith, children, love, etc. This can also include our love for animals.

 
Animals are a meaningful part of Christmas symbolism. Throughout time, animals have been featured in Christmas tales. Whether Biblically, mythologically, historically, or in present day adaptations—there are a variety of animals we relate to as symbols during this incredible time of year. With the holiday season here, we find these creatures appearing on television or in the movies, on holiday cards and on wrapping paper, in various decorations, and in some cases, a few families may find them under the tree on Christmas morn. 

 

Thus, December is a time to pay homage to the many furry and feathered friends associated with the season: reindeer, penguins, polar bears, camels, donkeys, oxen, sheep, kangaroos, dogs, mice, partridges, turtle doves, hens, robins, etc. However, it doesn't stop there. While these are the animals that are traditionally related with this time of year, there are a whole host of other animals that can be treasured as well. St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology and of animals, said that we should not forget animal on Christmas, and that they should be given rest and good food. Keeping all of this in mind during our celebrations and observances during this special time of year, let's remember and appreciate the animals all around us.
