My goal for the month of November is to make or complete at least one project each day.
I wanted to make something to display to remind me to be thankful each day through Thanksgiving. Of course, my first place to check was on Pinterest! I really liked this one from jellybeanjunkyard.workpress.com:
It certaily would take a lot of work, but that doesn't usually stop me. I did realize, though, that I would have to store this the other 11 months out of the year, and (knowing that we will be moving again in July 2013) I am trying to minimize how much "stuff" I have to pack up and move! If this were 1998 and all 4 kids were still at home, I would probably choose this one and then turn the cards into some sort of keepsake ablum later. I also like this idea (not sure where it came from):
But, I figured only Geno and I would be adding notes to it. I didn't want to be out searching for branches since we don't have trees in our yard. And I don't have a vinyl machine to cut out that cute little thing for the wall. Plus, since we are renting and the vinyl does sometimes take the paint off, I can't stick it on our wall. If I knew how to make those cute sayings with my computer, I could just print one out and frame it and use it each year. But, I don't know how...yet :o)

It is perfect! It sits on the bar in an easel, so I don't have to put any holes in the wall. When I change it out, I can just store it behind whatever goes into the frame next. I had it printed in 11x14 at Sam's Club for less than $3. I just write what I am thankful for each day and cross of the days to countdown to Thanksgiving! I did realize AFTER I chose it that it will only work for those years when Thanksgiving is on the 24th, but I'm sure someone somewhere on the internet will share another awesome project next year ;o)

I decided on this one for this month:
I LOVE it!
I LOVE it! The plan is to eventually have a buffet below where this is hanging and add candles, jars, and whatever else will make it festive. Already stored behind this one is Christmas, Birthday (boy and girl), and Halloween. I simply have to change them out! My only decision right now is whether or not I want to use a brown frame for all of them. I am pretty sure that I will be looking for a white one for Christmas and the Birthdays. Off to Goodwill I must go...
