I finally had some free time to myself today and my gratitude pages are now completed right through to 52. What a good feeling that is. This year of keeping this project going has taught me so much and it has been so nice meeting some very nice people. I think one big thing I learned from this is that my photos are my blessings....I was never at a loss for a blesisng each week because as I looked through my photos I realized that everything I photograph is a blessing to me...my children, my everyday life, my town, the beauty of the world around me etc.....no small wonder then that photography was also listed as one of my blessings in my book. This past year has been so fun and has made me so much more aware of how blessed I really am. I don't plan to stop being aware of those blessings even though the year has come to an end. I want to personally thank Brenda for beginnig this journey and inviting us all to join her....and be inspired by her creativity & beautiful outlook on life.....and her kind words to all who have joined in on this project have shown us all what a blessing it is to know such a kind & gentle soul. Thanks Brenda....the friendship doesn't stop here but I have truly enjoyed the journey of this past year with you (and all the others I have met here) Happy New Year everyone.
PS...I'll post my final pages as soon as I get them photographed. |

Long time, I know. But you guys are never far from my thoughts. Same with the whole concept of watching for my blessings and remaining grateful.
It has been an extremely stressful year, and maintaining a focus on being grateful has certainly helped to get through it. I have maintained journal notes and photos throughout the year. And, I have peeked in here from time to time for inspiration. Hoping to have some quiet time over the holidays to transform everything into layouts, and really go through the photos and discussions. I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that I am thinking of you, and wishing you all the best Holidays ever!

Ummm...I'm not sure what's under that golden crust but it looks good! With cold weather upon us, I find myself drawn to comfort foods, too. The red in your patterned papers really directs the eye right to your beautiful photo, and I like how you used the "white" space of the bowl to hold the word "enjoy." Everything feels so balanced and pulled together...love that.

Wow...so hard to believe there are just a few weeks left to this year. I'm going to miss this project a lot.

What a sweet photo of you and your sweet dog, Donna. And you're right...there isn't anything quite like that relationship. Our fur-buddies are always thrilled to see us and love us no matter what. I'm glad you included him in your book. Love the colors you chose for the page, too. They are perfect with the colors in the photo and really made it jump off the page. Very nice!

Hi ladies...I'm gradually getting caught up on my pages. I added blessings 41 through 44 tonight and hopefully can make a little more progress this weekend between stacking wood & raking. If I don't talk to you all before then I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

One person in each of my 6 pack couples has a November birthday. We celebrate those with a special event each year. I usually cooridnate that. This year we are doing a pizza dinner thanks to the California Pizza Kitchen and a movie at Easton Town Center. Although the celebration may not be unique, it is a time to appreicate how much we cherish our friendship and particularly as we face the probability of more long distance friendships in the near future.

Last weeks blessing was my scrapbook retreat. The Buckeye Scrap Pack (7 og us) got together in a really back woods cabin in Indianna and scrapped and laughed and ate, and shared creativity and movies and friendship for 4 days. It just doesn't get any better than that.

OMGosh, where did this year go??? We have less than60 days til the end of the year. It's funny, I have shared my gratitude album with many of my friends. Everyone knows that I am doing it and how much it has meant to me. I just can not believe we only have a few more weeks of formally documenting all that we have to be grateful for...not that it means that I will stop being grateful when this project is done.

LOL, Donna...this cracks me up. I'll bet life is never dull at your house! How fun to appreciate and document his antics...they surely are a blessing. Great color choices as always, and I love that you chose to use a word as your embelishment on this page. The times (and laughs) you're sharing with Jake really are priceless.

What a contrast...your beautiful daughter with her megawatt smile in camo and astride a big piece of military equipment. It makes for a great photo though and you've done a terrific job of highlighting it. I love that you chose brown paper for your die cut embellishment as it draws the eye right to your pretty girl. I know I've said it before but your book is going to be such a treasure.

What a great picture for your fall colors, and look at how tall (and slender) Jake is getting. At least I'm assuming that's Jake. Fall must be awesome in your part of the country. You've picked the perfect papers and simple embellishments to complete your page...but then you always do. Another winner!

Oooh, I'm feeling serene just looking at your page! It's a lovely photo, Donna, but I particularly like the choice of the red paper. Not only does the design compliment the lines and subject matter of the picture but it really brings out the red tones in the fall trees. Such a pretty page.

It's so fun to see your pages, Donna. They're colorful and filled with interesting shapes and texture...a delight for the eye. Red and black is such a striking color combination and you've used it well; it was the perfect choice for your photos. I'm not a coffee drinker but I love the smell of it so I can envision the aroma in your kitchen when you grind those butter pecan beans. A great snapshot into your life.

What an awesome page! I love the photo of your daughter in all her military gear, and you've made such smart choices in the colors and design elements you've chosen...they compliment is perfectly. You have every right to be proud of her...heck, I'm proud of her, too! This might be my favorite of all the pages you've made.

Love your sentiment here; we all should count those who serve our country among our blessings. And having a peek into your daughter's military life via some photos is a blessing, too. When I look at that photo, I see lots of straight lines so I like that you chose some curved ones in your paper and embellishment choices. It's visually very pleasing. Lovely page.

Isn't it funny how attached we get to our cars? I love that you've chosen an "old friend" for one of your blessings and reflected on all that you've seen and done together. The photo is terrific and the floral elements in your paper tie in nicely with the natural surroundings in the background of the picture. For a girl who doesn't like pink I'm seeing quite a bit of it here lately...and it looks great. : )

I'm so excited for you; nothing like the smell and feel of a new car...and this one's a beauty! Good for you for choosing a hybrid; with as many miles as you drive each week, you're bound to enjoy a savings on gas. And I love the page. There's enough green to support your title but a nice mix of other colors to bring out that lovely color in your new car. Allowing the die cut to bleed off the edge of the page is very effective here. Two thumbs up!

...what week are we on? I'm home from work sick. Since I couldn't sleep anymore and I'm not very good at staying in bed I decided to upload, edit and blog my latest photos. I think I'm off by several weeks! How did that happen? Ugh!
