Gratitude Mini Album - come play along!

I've posted my day 2 page and some of your great day 1 pages to my blog. :)

My day 2 page didn't photograph too great, but here it is anyway.

I'm going to rephotograph this afternoon when I have some better light in my house. Also, with all the DSD festivities this weekend my next blog post will be on Sunday, but I'll still be in here this weekend seeing how everyone is doing.

Oh and I've already decided that I want more variety in my album so I'm going to either use a different kit or mix things up for the next few days.

I love you day 2, Juli!!

This is going to be such a great project! I already can't wait to see everyone's finished products. I think I'm going to print mine 8x8 from Persnickity and put into a post-bound or 3ing album.
 
day 2 for me:

I know the topic is kinda a downer but I am thankful everyday for the last fifteen months that my husband survived and that all the things and people who helped him were there when he needed them.

Jessica - you have to use what speaks to you in your book. I think that is a wonderful thing to be thankful for! I love the ambulance, nurse, doc's! Cute!
 
I do not know how on earth I am going to put these together, I might do it after the fact to figure it out, but I am collecting everyone's thoughts, here is

day 1: from us all

Rebecca .... Today I am grateful for a roof over my head, because it gives me shelter and warmth and keeps me dry from the rain and it protects me and its sad that not a lot
of people even have a roof over their head everyday, but we do, so we should be grateful about that.

Kayla ... I am thankful for having a loving and supportive family. Having to go through overcoming anxiety and other issues is a lot easier to go through with my family helping
me go through it and supporting me.

Samantha ... I am thankful for my friends because until very recently I did not go to school or have friends and I did not think I was going to make any friends at all, and I am thankful
for the friends I do have because my family has raised me to be a good person and some of those friends are going through a hard time so I can be there for them.

Marc ... I am grateful for clarity of thought, because I did not always have it.

me... Today I am grateful for the friends I have met online. I am a very shy person in face to face situations. I am very anxiety ridden and full of self doubt and sometimes hate which color my interactions with other people. I can however feel less self conscious and truly be myself online and I love that I have been able to form relationships this way that I never would have been able to in any other way. Thank you to all my online friends, your friendship means more to me than I could ever express to you.
 
Tanyia, I love it that you have everyone in family involved! I LOVE everyone's thoughts. Really beautiful and deep!
 
Just found this thread!!! LOVE IT! I want to do something too, but haven't started yet. Like the simple square and the 4x6 size.

So far I've got these things to be thankful for:

1. Travel
2. Sisters

I didn't actually take any pictures of the last two days things...so I need figure that out!
 
Here's mine from today:

I have done journaling for yesterday but still need a photo. :) Will post it when I get it done.
 
Finally got mine started...I'm so excited about this! :thumbup:

Here's my cover and page 1...


And Day 2...
 
Here are my family's thoughts for yesterday, day 2:

Me: I am so grateful for long, hot showers today! I have been a mom since I was 17 and spent most of my life rushing through showers to get back to the little one that was waiting. Taking quick 5 min "mom" showers! Now that the girls are older I can take my time and enjoy it, and boy does that hot water feel awesome first thing in the morning!!!

Sam: I am grateful that all of my teachers are good teachers, none of them are rude or mean on not helpful. Because I need help and they are willing to help me and I really need it.

Kay: I am grateful for modern transportation. If we didn't have it I would be stuck in one spot my whole life and let's me keep in touch with other people I am farther from and lets me have opportunities
I would not have in my life otherwise.

Becca: I am grateful for my family because without them I would be really sad and lonely. Also they protect me and love me unconditionally.

Marc: I am thankful for having an innate talent for technical things.
 
Tanyia - Love, love, love that you are recording each person's thankful thought for the day. I can't wait to see how you scrap it because I think I want to do that next year.

Laura A - So cute! Glad you are playing along. Love the two pager.

Ripal - I like the colored pictures with the kit. I chose black and white but the colors looks great.

Kjersti - Love your full page for day 2. Are you doing one a day or capping it at a certain number?
 
Juli - I am going to try to do 30 days but I need another coordinating kit so I can use more flowers!!!
 
Juli - I wish I could colored picture on that one as background is gorgeous green hills, but it was taken against the sun and has yellow cast on the photo! lol The only way to save the photo was to make it b/w. I know I have tons more pics of two of us, but this one was taken during one of my lunch visit. Just brings back the good memories. :) Oh.. I also bought the kit, so I'm sure that I'll be adding, changing the pages as I go.
 
Everyone's albums are so inspiring to me.

Juli -- I'm glad you started this thread and I love the template you chose (and thank you for reminding me to include family vacation since we actually had one this year).
Jessica -- I love your pages without photos.
Tanyia -- I love that everyone in your family is participating.
Kjersti -- I love how you made such a gorgeous page about cupcakes! I think all your pages are gorgeous.
MummytoThree -- I love how you have so many details from your day.
Laura -- I love your use of embellishments and the beautiful pages you made about your family.
Monica -- I love the template you chose. I also like the 8x8 size and I think I will be choosing that also.
Ripal -- I love that you have been in the photos with your family.
Heather -- I love your hybrid goodness for your cover.

If I missed someone that has shared their pages please forgive me. It was not intentional.


I have something for every day so far I just need to go through my stuff and find a kit and template to use. Hoping to start scrapping this afternoon. :)
 
Day 3 I am thankful for friends and family who are willing to listen to me vent when I am scared or hurting even though they all have their own problems and lives to deal with. (not scrapped yet...probably tonight)

ETA:Just finished day 3. Only two days behind LOL

Thanks! I had to go thru all the photos of when my sister visited me. Could not find a single photo with just two of us!!!! I grabbed this from her FB! She took it from her phone. I need to email her and ask to send me a hies photo!

Note to self: Get more photos of two of us, when we see each other next time!
 
Thank you all for sharing your pages! I haven't scrapped in 6 months and this really inspired me to get back into scrapping! I've really missed that and this album and project was perfect for me to jump start on it!
 
I love looking through all of the layouts!! This thread is absolutely amazing. Some of the layouts make me cry and others make me smile - that is what life is about!!!

I feel kinda weird posting mine, since I'm not using an SSD product, but since Juli said it would be ok, here are my first 5 pages :)

Laura, I love your 2-pagers! I might try that for some of mine.
Sally, love your pages. Nice touch by adding definition of Digi Scrapping!
 
I love everyone's pages! I fell behind over the weekend but I plan on getting caught up this afternoon (so glad you girls are playing along to keep me motivated!). I like the different styles and how different each person's album looks.

You ladies are so amazing!!!!
