Giving Thanks Box

 Just wanted to share with you today an adorable little box that helps my family and me express gratitude this time of year.  This was a club project designed by Lisa Stenz a few years ago--check out this post to see her version of it.  For my version, I used the cornucopia image from the Harvet Home stamp set (CTMH, retired) stamped in black Stazon ink and colored it in with watercolor pencils and a blending pen. 

Let me explain how this box works.  We keep this beautiful box displayed in our kitchen and pass it around the dinner table in the evening during our meal together.  Inside it contains corn kernels and each of us takes out however many kernels we'd like.  We count them up and then share THAT number of things we are especially thankful for that day.  It is fun to do, especially for the kids!  The instructions are beautifully displayed inside the box lid, and the corn kernels tuck inside the orange tissue paper.

Supplies used: chocolate striped grosgrain ribbon, Dreamin' paper pack (CTMH, retired),  my creations card box (CTMH), foundry pewter mini medley accents (CTMH), preprinted Giving Thanks title and instructions (Lisa Stenz)

Hope you and your family can incorporate a creative way to express thanks and gratitude this harvest season!  Thanks for stopping by!
