A thanksgiving tree (I found this one at Room Service). A place to write down and display the things you, your family, friends, or whomever walks through your door are grateful for. Collect them and read them on Thanksgiving (READ: my MOST favorite holiday- family, friends, movies, yummy food, crazy games of spoons, just relaxing= heaven) or it would also make a wonderful Family Home Evening lesson.
I have so much to be grateful for, but I am not always perfectly focused on the positive things in life. I LOVE this time of year- from Halloween through the New Year- that helps us to stop and reflect on our abundant blessings. I can't wait to put together my own thanksgiving tree to help me in a visual, quantifiable way to "count my many blessings, and name them one by one."

You don't know me but I'm wondering are you still going to do your family tree templates??? :)
Yes- I have started it (the family tree tutorial post). I still need to get a few of the templates scanned and uploaded and then put it all together. We are leaving out of town tomorrow (for a week), but I have it on my to do list for when we get back! Sorry it is taking so long! Thanks for your interest!
you are SUCH a cheater! haven't taken pictures of mine, but we totally have a thankful tree!
gorgeous!! we made one out of dried branches from the back yard.. and tied slips of paper with thankful messages on it around the branches... and we dont even celebrate thanksgiving in australia... but I thought it would be a good month (before the me me me of christmas) for my girls to be thankful
