Grateful

I believe in everyday gratitude. I read the book, The Secret, a little over a year ago now. In the book, it tells you how to live a grateful life. Last year, I asked my family to list 10 things they were grateful for and it was difficult for them. I gave them each the book for Christmas to try to help them open up to the idea of everyday gratitude. Here is a layout that I created for Scrap Addict and OLW.

Journaling reads: I am so grateful that I was able to spend the day with my kids at the pumpkin patch. We had a very lovely day!

I created the paper pieced pumpkins that I used as accents.

Today I am grateful for...
