30 days of gratitude

I apologize if you may have already seen this on my blog...


I got this great printable from Jessica Sprague.
I've always wanted to do things like this but it usually
gets put on the back burner and never executed.
I've decided that it's time to actually do what I want
rather than to just think/dream about doing it.


I don't have big chunks of time anymore so
it did take me parts of three days to actually get it all completed,
but I'm SOOO happy that I actually did complete it.
We started naming things that we were thankful for on the 1st of Nov.
And we'll continue till the 30th....and hopefully beyond that.








Please don't mind the cluttered fridge!








We have five people in our family,
so each person gets their own number...
Greg is 1, I am 2, Naomi is 3, Micah is 4 and Hannah is 5.
It's fun to see what each person comes up with for the day.
Naomi has been all about nature...she also said,
flowers, and fruit trees for two other days.
Micah is all about Mickey Mouse and TV related things,
(not sure if he really gets what we're doing yet).
And it's fun to think up what little Hannah might be thankful for!

How do you share your thankfulness with your family?

Crayon Art ~ Teacher's Gifts

 Remember Jamie's Crayon Letter Shadowbox Tutorial? Wasn't it amazing? I think so! Well, it inspired me to try something new. I wanted the kids to be able to use the crayons but also leave a personal touch too since these were going to be for their teachers. 

This is what we came up with.

 I think they made the perfect Teacher Gifts this year!

Up Close So you can see the wonderful artwork and detail. LOL

The kids all wanted a different border. So be sure to look at the Border Design too!

This last one is the one they made for their Principal.

The kids last day is today! They are so excited to take them in. 

Hope you enjoyed our little project.
