Thanksgiving Again--Gratitude

I really like Thanksgiving!  It's all about family food, and the opportunity to set a beautiful table!

They are having a Thanksgiving Challenge over at the CSI Project this week, and I initially thought I would do a quick post to give you a run down of some of my favorite past Thanksgiving projects as I linked them up to the challenge.  That's when I realized, I have a LOT of Thanksgiving projects!  So we are going to have to break it down a bit!

Let's start with the most important ones...the reminders to be grateful--something we should do everyday.  I like to try and start this early in the month and make the entire month of November a month to be thankful!

My Gratitude Tree was a big hit when I initially posted it a few years back.  I think the first version is still the favorite, but not as easy to replicate with my now-wallpapered wall.

I have a different design in mind for the gratitude tree this year.  Here's hoping I can get around to making it this weekend, in between trying to make the fairy party I keep postponing for my daughter, a reality.

In the mean time.  If you want to hear me talk more about gratitude and helping teach it to our children, here is the episode of "Mom Time TV" I filmed last year.  I thought some important points were made.
