Thankful Thursday #3

This month has been one spent with family and friends and given me so much to be thankful for. So today, I am thankful for family. I come from an amazing family, full of drama, love and chaos. But we have blended so well over these last 19 years, it's been amazing!

My back story is one of deaths, marriages, adoption, biological children, and step children. Our family is made up of some pretty interesting people and personality types, but I love them so much!

I am adopted, have two little sisters who are my parents biological girls. My dad died when I was three and then my Mom remarried when I was six. He had two children from his previous marriage which are now my stepsisters. Together we there are two parents and five daughters.

Four of us are married to the men of our dreams, three of us have children (six grandkids total for my parents) and we are all happier than ever. Our family is a miracle and I am so thankful for the amazing story we have written in our years together! It is definitely something to be thankful for.

Hope you have a wonderful Thursday! And just because I love to design, here are some Thanksgiving Printables to use for the holiday next week! I hope you like them and can use them! There are a Thanksgiving Menu, Place Cards and Food Labels. They match my Thanksgiving Garland to give you the perfect designs for your celebration!

Thankful Thursday #1

Hey everyone, Happy November!! Can you believe how quickly October flew by? Now it's time for family, football, food and fun! I absolutely love the holidays and can't wait to share more crafty and celebratory goodness with you!

Also, did you notice I changed my Thoughtful Thursday to Thankful Thursday? Every Thursday in November I will post about the past week's things I am thankful for. It's a tradition for me to do each year, I either journal or blog about it. I hope you'll join me! There are so many wonderful things to be thankful for and it's a perfect way to remember all of them and have you thinking each day for the things your blessed with!

Today I am thankful for heaters. It's been significantly colder here these past few days and I am so thankful that Mr. H., my kidlets and I can sleep warm and cozy each night. Too often we take for granted the fact that we are kept warm in our homes. My heart goes out to those on the East Coast who are homeless, cold, and having to stay in shelters after Hurricane Sandy. May we find was to serve them, help them and reach out in relief efforts! I am so thankful today for the warmth in my home.

Lastly, I am including on this post a FREE Printable Leaf Banner.
Each day my kids and I will write what we are thankful for and I play to hang it in our living room.
I will post updated pictures once we get a few leaves up.
I want my kids to be thinking about things they are grateful for all month long!
 Please use it, share it, and remember all we are blessed to have!

Have a wonderful day!
