Grateful.



Once again I have made our grateful poster which will hang on the wall towards the end of the month. I am hoping this one fares a little better than the one last year. It went crashing to the ground as one of the boys reached for it and we ended up having to toss it out.

All you need is a poster board (mine is from Michaels), a cheap frame (also from Michaels) and some stickers. I took the frame apart and cleaned it and then laid the back of the frame on the poster board and traced around the edge lightly with a pencil. Then I cut along that line with scissors. To assemble just put the poster board down first, then the glass (this provides a nice hard surface to write on), and the back of the frame. Next, I took some stickers out of my stash and just centered the word grateful.

Now throughout the month our family will write or a draw picture (for the little kids) for anything and everything we are grateful for, large or small. I love seeing what the kids come up with too. So fun.

That is such a great idea. What a good reminder to be grateful for everything we have. Love it! :)
