daily gratitude.



So. I promised to post the project I just finished and here it is. My daily gratitude journal. I had so much fun making this. Pulled out a bunch of stamps, stickers and tags for this and just had creative fun. No pressure. Just creative freedom.
My goal {thanks to Nellie} is to daily write down something from my day that I am grateful for. So far, I have kept up with it pretty easily. Kinda hard not to when you have something creative to write in.
















I used lots of different papers, tags, packaging, and garment tags to make the pages of this journal. I wanted to use up scrap pieces of paper and pieces of everyday life to create something useful. And, here it is.














I used 2 star playing cards for the front and back covers. They, of course, were the number 3's from the deck.





































































You may be asking why I made a gratitude journal. Mainly because my focus hasn't been where it needs to be. I haven't had my eyes on God every day as I should and I needed a reminder of what He does for me on a daily basis. So, this little stack of cards is my way of regaining that focus. Me, physically writing down at least one thing every single day that I am grateful for. {Making sure that God is the center of my life.}
