Today is a new day, a day to be celebrated, a day to slow down and to be grateful. Focus on the good.

THIS WEEK IN MY MIXED PAPER GRATITUDE  JOURNAL

My Gratitude Journal journey began back in 2010 and I've continued with documenting my thankful thoughts and grateful moments in some form since then.

My baby, well she's 13 now but she'll always be our baby, came home early from school yesterday. She'd been sniffly and sneezy for days and she just couldn't make it through another day. And because this Mama is a work-from-home business owner, she was able to come home and rest.

I used the "made me smile" label from this set and attached it to my notepaper page with some skinny washi tape.

THIS WEEK IN MY TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK JOURNAL

Today, I am thankful for the one little creativity bursts that I get to feed from time to time. I've been using my Field Notes Travelers Notebook all year and I love that the pages are getting crinkly with ink from markers, pens and watercolors, chunky from the journaling cards I've added and full of texture from washi tape another embellishments.

And hey, how awesome is it that a little journal, some washi tape, a journal card and some ribbon can turn a blank page into something that brings you joy and makes you smile?

I began with a 3x4 journal card from this set:

...and trimmed it to mimic a shipping tag.

I embellished the left side of my spread with some washi tape and a "today" die cut round from one of the new number collections.
