On to the first Project.
This one is centered on family thankfulness! It is a "we are thankful" jar.
The supplies I used include:
A fall paper pack from Oriental Trading Company.
Doodlecharms cartridge (for the leaves)
Just Because Cards (for the sentiment frame)
My computer and printer for the sentiment
A recycled mini paint can - you can find them at the craft stores too.
A white gel pen
For this jar to work perfectly, I add LOTS of blank leaves (BO feature on Doodlecharms) and my kids, my husband, and I add the things we are thankful for. We each fill out a leaf and add it to the "thankful jar". I like my kids to add at least one leaf a week. Ususally they add two to three leaves a week.
On Thanksgiving, we'll pull out one leaf at a time and read all the things we are thankful for. Sometimes they are "my toys", "my wii games" etc. but more often than not, they are things like "my friends" , "my teachers" and "my family".
Okay, that's my project for the first day of the blog hop. Please hop along to the next stop to see what Jen has up her wonderfully crafty sleeves:
Here are the lineup of all fabulous ladies that will be sharing their talent:
Cheryl @ Cards by CG (That's me)

What a wonderful project and a great idea to get everyone think about the "greatful" things in life. I want to do this at our Thanksgiving gathering. I can see this as a wonderful idea to do at church also. Thank you for this project. I know I will use this this year and years to come.
What a great Ideal.
This is such a cool idea! You could even date the leaves and keep them in the can and look at them year after year. I think I'm going to try this :) Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful. The leaves blend in so well...looks natural to the paper. Thanks for the idea.
What a super cute way to teach your children gratitude!! Great Job!!

Very cute idea :) This would be a great one for the classroom!
I love this idea! At work we have a thanksgiving tree we put up. We own a Christian bookstore. A Christmas tree that customers can hang paper leaves/acorns/pinecones on with what they are thank ful for on the papers. I need to cut more out with my cricut. All our customers love doing this... It is such a joy to read some of them everyday!
This is such a cute idea! Love the can!
That's a great idea. Simple enough for young children to participate .

I absolutely love this. I might have to make it for my Thanksgiving Family Reunion. Thanks for the inspiration.
The paint can is such a cute idea. I am so inspired right now! Thanks!
I love your "thankful can"! I think the child's handwriting is so sweet, what a great thing for kids to do!
What a great idea! I love how you decorated it. Good way to get everyone involved to share what they are thankful for.
Those leaves from DC came out so cute! Don't you love to hear what kids are thankful for? Their leaves would be perfect items to scrap on a Thanksgiving page. :-)
Thanks for the hop!

I'm not sure how I missed this post on Day 1 of the blog hop, but I'm sure glad I spotted it this time around. What an awesome project!! My Granddaughter is here this week and she loves playing with the Cricut. We're definitely going to make a Thankful Can tomorrow and spend the entire week putting our leaves into it, so we can read them on Thanksgiving Day (when she will also be here with us for dinner). :D
Thanks so much for sharing this project and all your other wonderful ideas! So glad I found this blog and will be dropping by regularly.
