Welcome to the October Crafty Secrets Linky Challenge and Blog Hop. Our theme this month is Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart. The design team was challenged to create a Thanksgiving themed project or a project that expresses thankfulness and gratitude. We hope you will join us for the hop, and then visit the Crafty Secrets BLOG where you can find a free download and details for entering the challenge yourself.
For my project I did more of an "idea" then a tutorial!
My idea was to make a Thanksgiving Journal with all my
18 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren names listed
in order by age on a separate page for each..
Then the fun part!
To ask each child the question "What is Thanksgiving"
I thought the answers would be entertaining
and I would date each page with the year
and ask the same question each year.
I think it will be fun to hear the answers
and how they differ from year to year as they grow.
What a great new tradition to pass down to the family!
The Crafty Secrets papers I used to cover my journal with
were all scrap pieces from previous projects using
I also used images from Autumn Blessings Heartwarming Vintage Cuts.
I finished by adding a few die cut leaves and a little wooden house.
Here is the list of the hop in order....all links are here in case you get lost along the way.

Warm memories from family gatherings. The change in the season from warm to crisp, the smell of pumpkin pies! Mmmmm Your journal would be perfect for Thanksgiving notes and recipes. Thanks for sharing.
