leonie's picks - week 51: FAMILY

What a special, joyous week this has been, with Family as our theme coinciding with Christmas celebrations around the world - a time when families do try to reconnect wherever they may be. It was fun to see the varied interpretations of the Family theme, especially embracing of our 'fur' families.

Here is a selection of picks that especially resonated with me. May I also take this opportunity to wish every Challenge member and their families a happy, healthy and illustrative New Year!

bonus challenge: Advent Calendar 2015

Thank you to all our Challenge members for taking the journey through our weekly themes of 2015 creating the most incredible, diverse, creative and stunning artworks. There have been many opportunities, success stories and positive influences that this year's Challenge has brought to so many of us, it has been a pleasure to watch people grow and shine.

On behalf of Tania and the (most incredible) Admin Team, I would like to wish you a fabulous Christmas and fun festivities, and may 2016 bring you much joy and laughter.

I have included below the Challenge members who were able to put together each of their daily Advent Calendar posts counting down to Christmas Day. It was so delightful to be witness to daily Christmas artworks.
