Thirty Days of Thankful - Week Four

I'm participating in Cathy Zielske's "30 Days of Thankful" during the month of November.  I'll be using the Friday link-up day to post my pages.  

For these pages, I used Cathy's templates (available at Designer Digitals) along with papers and elements from Gobble On and Autumn Days (available at Sweet Shoppe Designs). I'll be using this same group through-out the month.

With the rush this week to host a Thanksgiving Dinner for fifteen, I got a little bit behind on creating my gratitude pages, but here is what IS done:

 On the version that will be printed, I actually changed this to Day 16 (the day we went to Ocean City to pick up furniture) and moved my car to Day 22.


 I had journaled "12" because that is the number I was working with. The day before Thanksgiving my brother Jason called to let me know that his entire family would be attending and the number I was serving jumped to 15. Luckily, I had already bought enough food! But I did have to purchase plastic plates and silverware... I don't own enough dishes to serve 15!

A great selection of thankful things here. The last one made me smile as a tie is part of the school uniforms in primary schools around where I live and I really remember having to teach my kids at age five how to do it! Oh joy!

Really enjoy seeing this album. Love what you wrote about your beautiful kitties... people who don't have dogs don't realize just how lovable and loyal they can be. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Lovely pages on such varied themes ... The design lends itself so well to subtly different treatments. I am sure you will be thankful you did this this project!

That is a great list of things to be thankful for. Followed your link from the OLW and really enjoy how the group opens us up to other bloggers on similar adventures.

Another great selection. I've used the internet recently to find some interesting ways to tie a scarf. There's not much you can't find help with on the computer. Wonder how I got through college without it.

Great job keeping up with this project this month, Cheri! I like that you changed the page for Ocean City & once again what a varied list you have. Hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving - there were just four of us here, but we had enough food for many more & are enjoying the leftovers!

Great pages, as usual...love the technology page : )
You commented on my blog that your daughters go to Bloomsburg...so does my son! Haha, small world I tell you. They probably live in the same dorm, lol. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Now we get to tackle Christmas : )

With Ocean City, I liked the combination of finding beauty along with the added memories to make it even more special.

I am also so thankful for technology and quickly finding information. It is hard to believe the Internet was not even a part of my life until toward the end of high school!

Yeah for the internet coming to the rescue - Princess had to learn to tie a tie for uniform, Ewok didn't have to until a formal wedding last year.
