HELLO to November oh how I love you!
 
I am so exited to be joining in with Art Everyday Month for the first time. Follow along with me everyday this month while I share my thankful leaves ( see above) and some art work in my new tiny blessing/prayer journal, also a picture of what I'm thankful for each day and will go into my Project Life album each week. So really it's going to be a month full of fun and thankfulness, with other things along the way I'm sure. Would love for any of my readers to follow along with me either on their blogs or just leaving a comment on what they are thankful for that day.
Here is the first page in my blessing/prayer journal. I was inspired by the lesson in my art class this week and knew this was just what I wanted to start with. These GOODNES thoughts have been in my heart and thoughts for weeks. I had to make it fit since this journal is a 4x6 and my picture is a bit too big but I just loved this whole idea. I will have more of my plans for this book in the next day or two as I show them. This will be new for me so I'm trying out new things and seeing what feels right.
 
I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for the wonderful and sweet comments on my last post. You ladies seriously ROCK and I'm so VERY lucky to know each of you. Thank you !!

  3. What a great, great start to AEDM. I'm THRILLED you took the plunge. I'm sure you're going to love it, especially since you got off to such a great start. And this is the perfect way to do it, too.

    May I make a suggestion? After your post goes live, click on that specific post. It will come up in a new window. Copy what is in the address bar. Today's would be:

    http://everydaymemorieswithprojectlife.blogspot.com/2013/10/hello-november-and-aedm.html

    That way no one will get confused if they happen to visit on a different day than when you post your next entry. When you link, use what you have just copied to paste into that day's link list. It will make your linky tools easier to find the post, too.

    Again, DELIGHTED you joined this month long event.

  7. Hi Dawn,
    What a great project for this month. Practising an attitude of gratitude is so important in today's hectic world. Your page is beautiful!

    Btw, to add to what Elizabeth said...another way you can do it is to right-click on the heading of the post you want to share via AEDM, and select Copy Link Address...then you can paste it directly into the Linky box over on AEDM. I hope I haven't confused things. I usually do either method and, as Elizabeth said, it helps people find the correct post particularly is they are checking posts out on a different date.

    Btw, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog.

    'See' you tomorrow. :)
