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:
