The Thankful Curtain

Carissa over at BrownEyedFox always has such wonderful ideas to engage her girls in the holidays (and really, life in general!). And her photography is . . . well, she makes me want a good camera so badly (I adore her images of home and family). Stop by her blog . . . so worth visiting.

She has a thankful ladder (and in the past has done a thankful tree). I loved the idea and started it two days ago with Harleigh. I wanted to post our "thanks" in a place that we see every single day, and that would be the door from the ken to the garage. So I pulled out color markers, these manilla tags, and ornament hooks (they hang perfectly on the airy lacy curtain). And we add to it every day. What a lovely idea, Carissa!
