I didn’t make as many gifts this Christmas as a I did last year, but what I did make I was so excited about. I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude the last few weeks. How feeling grateful actually changes your attitude which in turn changes the way you see life. So with that on my mind I decided to make gratitude journals that would help keep you thinking about gratitude all year long.

It was more of an undertaking than I thought, designing it all from scratch, but one of those projects for me that didn’t seem like work at all. I created the book layout in Indesign. Here are my initial notes. I had to work out each individual signature (group of pages) before I could begin to lay it out. I told Adam there must be a program out there that does this for you, but didn’t have the time or patients or money to go looking for it.

quote from book:

It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. – Melody Beattie

You can’t really see it so clearly in the picture, but each page has three days and a place to write 3 things your grateful for from that day. It was definitely a labor of love and hope Adam’s sisters and mom will enjoy them this coming year.

And because I loved the way they turned out so much and the concept that I decided to make an extra one to sell. I know I’m cutting it close with the new year starting this week, but seeing as they were gifts I couldn’t share this information until after Christmas. If your at all interested go here to see it in my etsy shop.

Have a great day!
