Bride Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 In her book "One Thousand Gifts", Ann Voskamp challenges readers to ... "forget the bucket list that would have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences" and instead embrace and chronicle everyday blessings leading to gratitude for the life we already have. Everyday blessings as simple as the greeting of song birds as you sip your morning coffee, an unexpected note of kindness from someone, or the heart moving statement "I love the smell of your hugs, Grandma". With this being the "Month of Thanksgiving" I would like to challenge us to look for simple pleasures throughout our days and share them in the form of ATC's. Ann has produced a free pamphlet with prompts for each day. You don't have to use any of them, but I am including a thumbnail of it just in case you need some added inspiration. I'm excited to share a month of every day gifts/blessings that we can count together! You may create as many cards as you would like, just please remember to sign and date each card. Upload them to the Artist Trading Cards - Digital & Hybrid Gallery and email the full resolution copy (750 x 1050 pixels at 300 ppi) to me at: scrapgirl.bride@gmail.com Some suggested collections include:Brandy Murry's Blessed Be CollectionSherrie Piegdon's Blessed Are We CollectionGinny Whitcomb's Autumn Hush CollectionVeronica Spriggs' Autumn Days CollectionAngie Brigg's Count the Ways Collection The cards are due to me by Saturday, November 28th. I will get those back to you by the last day of November. I'm so excited to be counting with you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
