Memes: Scrapbook Starting Point and Other Favorites

Look! I followed Shimelle's latest Scrapbook Starting Point post and made a one page layout with just one picture!
Just kidding! I made this companion page with 7 pictures:
To create this completed two page layout:
Because that's just the way I roll! Even though I inevitably change Shimelle's one page inspiration to a two page layout, I really like her starting point series, and it got me thinking about memes.  Recently, when I asked how readers overcome a lack of creativity and blogging motivation, Helena mentioned using certain memes to get back on track, and I thought that was a really good insight. According to The Daily Meme, a meme is a question or list of questions posted weekly to which various people respond.  In my blogging world, I think memes can be weekly, monthly or at some other regular interval and are not limited to answering a particular question or set of questions.  Right now, there are two monthly memes in which I really like to participate: Shimelle's Ten on the Tenth and Sian's Storytelling Sunday (which will hopefully become weekly Christmas Club in December). Also, during November, I am participating in the Daily Gratitude meme, listing things for which I am grateful at the end of each blog post.
Do you have any favorite memes to share? Any that you host? Or are thinking about hosting? Leave links and ideas in comments please!

Today I am grateful for: a renewed burst of creativity and using up very old supplies!
