Hello
I have seen the 30 days of thanksgiving floating around the web and instagram for the last few weeks and thought it was a really lovely idea. Over here in good old England we don't celebrate thanksgiving but giving thanks is always a good thing I think.
For those who don't know I have seen this little meme in several different ways, firstly as a form of journalling like a scrapbook page and secondly as a hashtag on instagram. The basis is really fairly obvious: journal, record, photograph what you are thankful for for thirty days.
Now, I was pretty slow to jump on the bandwagon so I have recorded the things I was thankful for in the first few days of November but I am missing some from last week.
I wanted my "things" to be everyday thanksgivings so I therefore turned to my favourite...instagram.
I felt the pictures needed something more though so I whipped up a few templates for the photos and some added journalling.
I think a blurb book of these at the end of the month would be great!
Such a great idea and such a reminder to me that rather than focus on what has gone wrong, in all things we should give thanks.
Are you doing anything for Thanksgiving?
I have made blank templates of each design if you are interested in using them. If so please say in the comments and I can put them on here!

These are lovely,Abi....love the cathedral photo.
Lovely! The more I see of Thanksgiving, the more I think we should adopt the day over here too.
Love that you have adopted Thanksgiving in your heart! Great templates :) I have been absent lately but hope that is about to change. Feel the need to let you know there is a typo in the third one so you can correct it ..for "of" you have "pf".
Thank you Bev! How i wish photoshop had a spell checker! xx
beautiful x
I love how you're doing this, Abi! And I'd definitely be interested in the templates, please :)
A truly lovely series of pages: I especially like the rhythm of your writing, and the repetition at the start and finish - felt like a meditation or an intercessory prayer ... :).
I love the templates, but it's your journaling that is truly wonderful here.
Glad someone else mentioned the typo - I wish PS had a spell checker too. I like the repeated lines of journaling - gives a lovely feel to the whole project.
