Give Thanks

Kristie Larsen has a lot to be thankful for and she wanted to share a project that can help you express your gratitude too.  Kristie is expecting her 3rd child in February and we are all so happy for her.  This cute banner pretty much says it all.  Kristie used Large Banner and Soda Pop Alpha to make the banner and backed each pennant with a scalloped circle.

Hang this on your centerpiece, over the buffet table on Thanksgiving Day, or just across your kitchen window to remind you of all that you are thankful for this season.  

Kristie also made this sweet little set of paper cards to have at the Thanksgiving Table.  She explained that you write what you are thankful for, then roll it up with a ribbon and keep them in the jar until the next year.  Then at your next year's traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, read the old ones in the jar out loud to see what you wrote and replace them with new ones to be kept for the next year.  Would be so fun to see how some writings change each year and how some of the same thoughts show up every year.

The cards are stamped with the Singing Birds frame, perfect for a little note. 

 

We are thankful for our family, both near and far.  We'd love to have you share what you are thankful for in the comments!
