Today I am thankful...

 Today I am thankful for family and the relationships we have with each other. On the right you can see that I am making a 30 day list of things I am thankful for. I think we get so caught up in the everyday stuff of our lives that we forget to be thankful for all the little things in our lives. I heard a song recently that said if God did nothing more for the rest of our lives, I would still serve Him because the past things He has done would be more than enough to praise Him. (I'm sure it was more eloquent than this but you get the idea!)

This is a layout I made for a sample at ScrapGal. The contest this month is "All about others".
Supplies: Pattern Paper, stencil and large flower - Prima. Ribbon and small flowers May Road. Other - Paint
 
"November's All About Others Challenges"

1. Being thankful - make a lo and show us who/what you are thankful/grateful for! Don't forget to show us your journaling!DONE!
    
2. Make something for someone else - just because. Show us your creativity creating a card or altered item. Take a picture showing us what you made and tell us about it.
 
Done! But I can't show them yet!

3. Pass it on - do something for someone else- don't let them know it was you. Be creative! Pay for someones meal behind you in line at the drive thru, leave a flower on someones doorstep (make sure they are not home) you get the idea. Don't forget to take a picture so you can scrap about it! If you can't take a picture make you layout  anyways and journal about what you did! Show us your lo!
 
Working on this!
4. Leave some love in the gallery - we have so many beautiful creations in there and we all know we love a little recognition! (I always do this anyways!)So every time you leave a little love you will get another entry to win!

This contest will run from Nov 1- Nov 30th,  the winner being announced on Dec 1.
