I swiped the idea of making a Give Thanks Calendar from my friend Katina. It seemed like an appropriate way to spend the month...reminding ourselves what we are grateful for. Hers is really amazing and quite a bit more crafty than mine. You can read all about it here.
However, I wanted to get moving on ours, otherwise I knew it would remain an unfinished project with good intentions (Like a 500 piece Great Pumpkin puzzle that is incomplete and trashing our kitchen table right now. I'm debating cleaning that up this afternoon.), so I modified her calendar a bit in order to use some supplies we already had on hand.
Each picture was glued onto the poster board as a pocket. For every day this month, all four of us will write on a piece of paper something we are thankful for and tuck it into the pocket of the appropriate day. I hope it will help to get us into the habit of being thankful for something every day of the year!
Oh Anne this is awesome!!! I LOVE your calendar!! Great job:)
