30 Thankful Days (Gratitude Journal)

Remember a few days ago when I talked about starting a Gratitude Journal? See here for the original post.

Well, I'm a few days late, but I'm back with the journal cover and inside pages.

I started with this binder that I bought years ago. Then I had to paint the pink part and add tissue paper to the chipboard part.


Now it looks like a Thankful journal in pretty fall colors.

 
 
Here are the paper choices. I just went through my stash and picked out things I liked that went together. Not the colors I expected, but I like the mix. Especially that bee paper!
 



The pages are  6x6 inches, with each 2 page spread featuring a pattern paper on the left side and a brown/tan piece of card stock on the right. I plan on adding photos on the the left and journaling on the right.

I also decided to make this casual, meaning if I skip a day and then do 2 pages another day, that's OK.  I'll still end up with 30 days of gratitude at the end of the month. And if there is to much pressure doing the project, it tends to suck the fun right out of it. Who needs that?

That's it for now. I need to print some photos and then I'll be back to share a few pages with you.
