In the Blogosphere, there are lots of scrapbookers out there that do a gratitude album during the month of November. This year, Cathy Zielske did a "30 days of Thankful" on her blog.
Instead of doing a whole other album with daily thoughts/pictures, I have decided just to incorporate my Thankfulness into my Project Life album. Some of my Thankfuls are silly, but others are serious.

It was nice to not really have to think of something to take a picture of each day. I knew at the beginning of the month most of the items on my list, but I just had to fit them into the month.
My month of December will be similar in that I will just be talking about the Christmas season and not really having to think of things to take pictures of...they might not even be pictures I took on that day! (shhh!!) :D I already have 20 of the 31 days figured out--woo hoo!
I like it...the things you are "thankful" for and the method you used to document them! A lot of those things I am thankful for too!
ReplyDeleteThank you--As much as I like how easy Project Life is layout wise, I don't think I will go beyond the year. I also enjoyed being thankful for a month, but I don't see myself doing that every year either :D
