Be Thankful Blog Hop

Welcome everyone! I am so excited to be bringing you my project for the Be Thankful Blog Hop, hopefully you are hopping along and just arrived here from Little Paper Sprinkles, if not and you want to start from the beginning you will need to start with Sarah over at Pink Cricut. Here is a list of the blogs if you get lost along the way.
Since we are nearing Thanksgiving time here in the US I'd like to mention a few things that I am thankful for. First and foremost, my family. They are what drive everything I do on a daily basis and I am thankful for them. My husband is the love of my life and my kids are just so much fun. I am thankful for my friends, especially all my Mom friends. I love to be able to connect with women who go through the same daily struggles I do. I am also thankful for this wonderful crafting community we have out here. I just love being able to go to other blogs or facebook and get inspired every day. It is so fun! This week my daughter had to bring in a photo of something she was thankful for to preschool. At first she wanted to bring in a photo of her friends which I thought was so sweet. Then she changed her mind and decided to bring in a photo of Jesus instead. She inspires me every day and I am thankful for Him as well.
On to my project...I decided to make a calendar page for November. Each month I make a different one and hang it up on my fridge in the kitchen. It keeps us as a family organized and I love popping it in my scrapbook when I'm done with it. This way when I (finally) get around to scrapbooking that month I can remember when everything happened!

Now onto to some blog candy. I will be giving away this page as part of the hop this weekend. In order to qualify please become a follower and leave a comment on this post with an email so I can get in touch with you. Super easy! I will be drawing the winner on Tuesday using random.org so leave your post by Monday at midnight (cst). If you would like to order one of these pages for yourself or maybe one of the upcoming months, check out this website that my friend Nancy, just put together, Simple As ABCraft.

Kray said...

This is a wonderful idea. I did this my freshman year in college over 20 years ago and I am so thankful that I did, because I am going to be scrapping some old photos and I have the reminder of what I did and when.

I also did this for the first year of my son's birthday over 20 years ago. I have his photos in the old style albums and that is going to be a project to make a scrapbook for him and I have all his "firsts" during his first year of life.

This would be great to do now as we have events coming up and get togethers, great reminders!
