Thankful Banner

I got this idea from blog hopping and seeing everyone's super cute banners. My daughter and her husband live about 4 hours south of us, they are raising 2 beautiful, loving children. I started thinking about how to help educate the kiddos with the idea of gratitude and thankfulness... this is what I came up with.
I used 8, 8.5x11" medium weight chipboard pieces, covered then decorated. It's approximately 5 1/2 feet when hung-up.
There are 4 ribbons hanging from each letter and I have used small clothes pins in this example, when it reaches it's final destination I'm hoping they will use something more "secure" with toddlers in the house. My theory is that for the 8 days before Thanksgiving to add something that you are thankful about. A drawn picture, a cut out from a magazine, a photo, a letter, etc... I'm looking forward to see how the family uses and learns from this "Thankful Banner"

I know it's been a super long time since I've blogged, believe me I've been busy. I was gone most of October, I have lot's of photos and stories to tell with my future layouts. I will try and get you caught up when I get some of the layouts done.

Thank you for stopping by to check up on my life adventure, hope you have a wonderful week.
