Crafty Secrets Challenge and Blog Hop for October

Welcome to the October Crafty Secrets Linky Challenge and Blog Hop.  Our theme this month
is Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart.  The design team was challenged to create a
Thanksgiving themed project or a project that expresses thankfullness and gratitude.  We
hope that you will join us for the hop, and then visit the Crafty Secrets Blog where you
can find a free download and details for entering the challenge yourself.

I have been doing lots of sorting in my craft room lately and found

this huge jar from IKEA that i had bought and got this great idea to do

a Thankful jar for Thanksgiving and before.  I have had this on my to do list

for a long time and finally got one done... i am so happy.

So for my jar i created a pretty band around the center using leaf papers from

 the Halloween #4 CD and lots of ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons.

The little Blessed and Grateful tags are from the CS and i cut them

apart and tucked them in the ribbons on the front.  On the top i used tiny

adhesive block letters and wrote 40 days of Thanks and Praise.  And now

i just have to make 40 slips of paper to write on and fill up my jar.  

Here is the order of the Design Team in case you want to hop along with us....
