thursday thankful.

This November, I am playing along with the hastag #thirtydaysofthanksgiving on Instagram. It's super easy: every day for 30 days you post a photo of something you're thankful for. My Instagram stream is more or less a gratitude list anyway, but it's been fun so far to make a conscious effort to take a picture of something I am grateful for and share it everyday.

For the remaining Thursdays of this month, I'll be sharing these photos and gratitudes here. This is the past week :

Thisguy
Newprojct
Saturdaynaps
Progress
Sunshine
Vote
Tea

It's so the little things. Happy Thursday. Happy November. Happy Thanksgiving (two weeks early).

ps. yep, I have a slight self-portrait addiction and I highly recommend the TimerCam app.

    You may have addressed this in another post, but where did you get that adorable star shirt? I LOVE your style and basically want to kidnap your entire closet.

    I love this idea. I could definitely do with reminders to be grateful everyday. And your photos are always so fun.

    I love how much you write in lists on your blog…I’m a list person, too!
    Just downloaded timercam; I consider myself the queen of self-timed photos (have been known to suspend cameras from tree limbs in an attempt to capture timed-photo magic)…so thanks for the tip!

    Thank you Elsie! I have been a lurker of your blog for a while and love it. I was wondering about your yarn. Do you knit or crochet and what will your project be?? I have been crocheting like crazy lately. I am self taught and this year I have finally been trying patterns.

    As a new blogger, I look to your blog as a strong example of a positive voice! Yay for hope & happiness, and especially to crafts–a special hooray to crafts! Thanks for reminding us all that words & finished projects(and ok, sometimes the unfinished ones, too) matter in this world. Your West Coast tales are so appreciated here in the Midwest!
