Things I'm Thankful For Blog Hop

      Welcome to the Things I'm Thankful For Blog Hop. This blog hop runs from November 18th through November 19th. For a lot of people, Thanksgiving has become a day to watch football, eat turkey, and watch the Macy's Day Parade. While these are not bad things, some believe the most important part of Thanksgiving is giving thanks to God for our many blessings. God was very much a part of that first Thanksgiving. Although some would say it was just a day of celebration. Historical records show it was a time to give thanks to God.The pilgrims looked at everything as a gift from God, even the sorrowful things they saw as God allowing them to perfect their character. So with that being said we have created this "Things I'm Thankful" blog hop to show you some things we are thankful for and some wonderful things we think of when we think of Thanksgiving. We’ve had so much fun creating this hop, and we have a wonderful line up with some oh-so-talented creators. You will see some lovely projects having to do with Thanksgiving and things we are thankful for and have a chance to win some blog candy along the way. If you have come from (person before you blog info) you are right on track if not you can start at the beginning (http://honeybearzdesigns2011.blogspot.com/). I am so glad you joined us today!

Page 10 and 11  Page 12 and 13       This is day 2 of the hop, if you missed yesterday - just scroll down to yesterday's post and you will see the first part of the project!!!!  Today's is the rest of the project in general, so you can see how to put together an entire 20 page album in a 6 x 6 format!  Simply tie the ribbon on the side, and you have a great one of a kind album!  If you need basic directions as to how I do mine, check back at this post for the directions you will need!  Page 14 and 15        Each set of the pages here are made so they are each different, yet they coordinate through the products that I used and the colors I used.  I can customize it as I go with the photos and things that I want to add to the album of the time surrounding Thanksgiving.     Page 16 and 17       It doesn't matter which products you use, I used the same items throughout the album to create a consistent look throughout all 20 pages.  I also used stickers on some of the pages, as well...but they really went well with the rest of the stuff I I had.  You can't see some of the intricate parts, such as the brads in the middle of the flowers, and on page 10 and 11 are some really fun squares that are attached with brads...they actually dangle a little bit, and look really cute!  Page 18 and 19           Thanks a lot for visiting the hop - I hope you have a lot this year to be Thankful for!!! Now...for my blog candy...  One lucky winner will receive a mini album of their choice of a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a basic album...  You must be a follower of my blog and leave a message here with a way to contact you!  Your album will be made with you in mind; you will help me to pick out the papers and things I will use!   Now, your next stop on the hop is Liz, so make sure you go check out what she's been up to!     Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme
