web wednesday {gratitude}

gratitude abounds in the world of blogs right now. below are some recent finds that i thought were worth sharing. enjoy.

this is an adorable, modern take on the thankgiving theme. hostess with the mostess offers these printables as a free download (as a fundraiser, so a donations is recommended). we don't host thanksgiving at our home, but if we did, this would be right up my alley!

if you need someone to share your gratitude, participate in *project thankful* over at marta writes. all you do is write a comment including anything for which you are grateful. no rules. that's it.

this thanksgiving garland is a project that has so many great functions. it helps reinforce the idea of gratitude with your family (particularly children). it's a fun craft project you could do on your own or with loved ones. and when it's complete, it's an adorable piece of home decor.

this gratitude family project has a similar point to the garland above, but is just another way to go about it. i'd love to do this when coleman is old enough to write or draw so we can all participate. i also think this would be awesome if you were hosting thanksgiving and you had everyone that was there contribute.

this post contains the link to a free "give thanks" printable. they used it to wrap up homemade bread, but the possibilities are endless.

another free printable: "thankful for you"

last week, write.click.scrapbooking focused on being thankful. i encourage you to check out all the posts, but here are my highlights. the photo above shows a super easy home decor idea, and you can download the thankful wordart for free.

i absolutely adore this gratitude mini journal thingy. i love that it's feasible. i love that it's messy and uses scraps. it kind of reminds me of my beach vacation album. i need to do something like this!

download a free recipe card (with or without the creamed corn recipe).

download a different version of the thankful word art and make it into a cute notepad
