Is anyone planning to do this in November? This turned out to be one of my favorite projects last year. I kept it very simple. I didn't do it daily but basically made a list of things I was thankful for at that time. I used a 6 x 6 album and one line of products, mostly journaling with a few photos. I plan to add to the album this year. I saw a post by Cathy Zielske that she has a stamp set/printables/digitals this year. I caved and ordered the stamps! www.cathyzielske.com/2014/10/introducing-days-thankful.html

Oh this sounds like something I need to get myself scrapping again. My birthday is on Thanksgiving this year, so November would be a good month to do the thankful thing. Thanks for the heads up, OP! I may just order those stamps.....

I have made several of these and it's one of my very favorite projects every year. I have already ordered the stamp set and there is a Facebook group also. Love Cathy!! She gives so much!

This year has been crappy so I'm going to sit this one out I think but I did it last year. It was fun..I have my mini still on display. I think it's fun to look back on the previous year.

I haven't done it before, but I really want to do it this year. I love that she's using the instagram album. I need a reminder about how good my life is to snap myself out of a rut. I think this will help me adjust my perspective.

I love this idea! I don't know how I haven't heard of it before. I did 30 Days of Lists this year during my birthday month in August (and, like you, made it a monthly project instead of a daily one), but I loved doing that. I used Project Life cards so I had a safe place for it to go when I was done. I was afraid if I did a mini album it might get lost somewhere along the way (I'm not very organized!) I would love to add this to the album behind that list project. I'm definitely going to do this!

I had never heard of " 30 days of thankful" but love the idea. I'm going to try to do this next month, we have so much to be thankful for.

I tried to do this last year but ended up in the hospital for 5 days with appendicitis. Hope I can try again this year!

I have not done CZ's project. Many years ago I did something similar, a Melody Langworthy project. I think that was her name. Anyway I'm going to try it. I bought the digital stamps and journal cards from Designer Digitals.

This will be my third or fourth year doing it. Last year I was able to get DH and DD (then 5y/o) involved too and loved it! I hope they participate this year too! My thankful will go in an Instagram album and theirs will go in a snap 6X8. I also do DD in the 6X8 since I am hoarding those sizes right now. I also post daily on FB as my status just in case I forget to write it down or document it otherwise.

What format are you 30 Days of Gratitude scrappers using? 6x8? 8x8? PL pocket pages? I'm mulling over doing this, and I'm leaning towards an 8x8 size of single page daily layouts. Also, do you work on your project every day? Weekly? I may head to HL this week and see what might work, it's my closest place for SB supplies...

I started a 6 x 6 album last year and will be adding pages to it. I probably worked on it once a week. I ended up with 20 pages. Each page was a photo plus journaling or if I didn't have a photo to represent the idea I just journaled. I went with this size so I could buy a 6 x 6 paper pad and not have to mess with cutting. I also bought the coordinating journal cards and embellishments to make it simple. It was the Feels Like Home line by Little Yellow Bicycle. I also used a set of thankful stamps by Ali Edwards.

I did 30 Days of Lists back in August and I really liked the format. I just filled in any extra spaces with random photos from that month. I have a couple of small 4x4 scrapbooks, but what I like about using the Project Life pages is that I'm adding them to an album I already have and am not creating a smaller, separate one. I wouldn't know where to put them if I made mini albums for everything!

I am doing pocket pages. There are 30 days in November and there are 10 of us. So I hope to have each person in my family do 3 days. Write something on a card that they're thankful for and add pics to compliment the blessing.
