Something one cannot choose in life, they are chosen for you. Neither bought or sold. One can build it as they move through the stages of his/her life

Family 

What better theme to have for the time of year that brings Family together; Ramadan is halfway through and Eid is coming. We’re chosen Family as our theme of August in celebration of that

A happy loving Family…

A tormented Family….

A Family made up of a group of friends, the only family you can choose to have

Embrace this special theme and let your creativity run wild; don’t wait for your muse, make it work!

Deadline for this prompt will be on the 31st of August 2012.
