You have a lovely blog!!! Thank you for linking -up. We have made these handy journals once at a party, and it was a hit, but I need to actually start writing in it and keeping track of God's gracious care 🙂
It is so nice to get to meet like-minded ladies. I will be back 🙂

You're welcome, Mary! My children made some more this afternoon, and they had such a great time.
I know what you mean about wishing life would slow down. I have been thinking of hibernating also. Time is just passing too quickly.
Canadagirl says
Thank you my friend for showing us how you make your gratitude books. I am hoping once my craft fair is done this week end I can spend some lovely time making one for myself…and maybe as gifts for some friends. [o= Can't wait for life to slow down. I am dreaming of hibernating for the winter. [o;
Thank you once again.
Blessings in Him<><

Visiting you from Women Living Well. I mentioned a blessing book in my post today, so your book caught my attention. It turned out so cute! I think I'll have to make one of my own!

Hi! I have had a "Blessings" journal that I used so much when I was a single mommy. Since so many things in our lives were hard, I started writing down little things that happened that were blessings. Lots of BIG things happened that were blessings, also, but sometimes I concentrated on everyday things that God did for us. It was so nice to have my little daughters tell me things to write down and now I can go back and read how God took care of us in those days. Thanks for the tutorial!
