Gratitude Jar

I wanted to capture something for Thanksgiving... something meaningful to us as a family. I wanted the kids to be able to participate as well. They are all old enough to compose their thoughts and express their opinions in positive and productive ways. And I wanted it to look pretty. So here's what I came up with.

Gratitude Jar

Step-by-Step

1. Get a jar you want to use. I found mine at Walmart in the kitchen supplies aisle. It's about 10 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall with a lovely stainless steel lid. 
2. Get a separate jar or other container to hold your blank paper slips and a pen.
3. Cut out vinyl lettering. I used my handy little Cricut.

4. Apply vinyl lettering to jar. I used masking tape to make a level line for the letters.

 5. Cut strips of paper. Mine are 1" by 6".

6. Proudly display and give everyone instructions to write something every day.

Soon you will have it filled up! Have a wonderful and gratitude filled Thanksgiving.
