Who's doing Thankful 30? Are you using a prompt list or just going with the flow of your month?
I typically do a monthly album for just stuff we do in November but I'm thinking I'll try the Thankful 30 this year.
I'd love to hear what everyone's plans are, or are most people just prepping their DD's in Nov?
Whatever you do, have fun and stay safe. We already have 5" of snow.

I am going to attempt to do it this year. Last year I made an album, took photos and wrote out prompts but did not put it together. If I keep it simple, I can finish it this year. What works for me is to KEEP GOING lol. While it is on my mind and I am not to far removed from the project.

I have some random ideas saved. I pick what fits my life. Some of it is too woo woo, religious, or sappy for me.

Oh thanks for the links. Those look really great, I'll have to add some. I prefer non-traditional as well. |

I'm trying to keep it simple as well... using a TN makes it easier for me... as well as having a clean craft room. ha |

I did a Thankful 30 last year. I sat down at the beginning of the month and made a list of 30 things/people/places that I was thankful for. Every day I selected one thing from the list and sat down and wrote in a small notebook about the person/place/thing. At the end of the month I typed up all my journaling. That's as far as I got, though!!
I bought a Citrus Twist album and my plan is to have the journaling on one side of the page and a picture to go with it on the other.
Some of the things on my list:
My siblings
Sunsets
My cat Gus
The Beach
Walks in the woods
Ice cream
Books
Alone time
Music
a page for each of my three sons
My parents
fresh flowers
my boyfriend
I thought about using a list of prompts, but ultimately decided that it wasn't right for me.

This is what my journal pages look like. I was trying to keep the project simple.  |

Hi again. It's much later than promised, but this is the list I am using. I compiled from several different lists on Pinterest. Some of these will move around and some will be on designated days. My whole theme is gratitude for the little things, because they are the BIG things.
1. kids
2. family
3. friends
4. pets
5. surprise birthday trip
6. laugh out loud moment (happened on the trip)
7. my birthday
8. ability to vote
9. tv time (I watch an episode of Big Bang almost every night.)
10. Book I am reading
11. my favorite drink (coffee, latte and craft beer)
12. my hobby and its space
13. delicious meal/food/cooking
14. public service (one board, one volunteer)
15. cold weather, sweatshirts in my closet
16. bright, cool sunshine-y day
17. my job and working from home
18.
19. transportation (my van with 220,000+ miles and it's in great shape)
20. Starbucks
21. something I find comfort in (recliner, coffee, no alarm set)
22. dog walks in nature
23. favorite part of morning (alone time, coffee, morning news)
24. tradition: Thanksgiving
25. fave part of evening: slippers, clean kitchen, dinner with my kids, happy hour
26.
27. something that makes life easier: my phone
28. my town
29. my health and my walking partner
30. my new home and what makes it home
The two blank days will be either surprise, music, shoes, appliance, a luxury I have or something else that hits me!
