thankful chalkboard

On the first day of November this year, we started a thankful board as a reminder of all the things that we are thankful for as a family (and there are a lot!)  Erik and I took turns adding a flag to the twine I strung across our kitchen chalkboard, adding one here and there as the ideas came to us.  On the last day of the month, the last flag was added.  It is a cute daily reminder to smile more and complain less, as there is a lot in our lives that we are lucky to have.

In no particular order of importance, here are a few of my favorite flags:

Last week I made another holiday craft, this time with Christmas in mind.  It turned out great - photos of that project to come soon!
