Thank you so much to everyone who has read this blog throughout November and to those who took part in whatever form.
A special thank you to those who posted links to your blogs or flickr photos to share your work. It has been most enjoyable to see everyone's interpretation of the same verse or technique.
Here is my page for November 22nd without the journaling covered over.
I didn't want to advertise the fact that we were away so I covered up the journaling. Which leads me to my last thank you.
A very, very special big thank you to BJ who added my linky every day whilst I was away. I really appreciated the fact that she did this for me so that it looked as though I was here at my house!
If you would like to find out about where I was while I was away you can find out here.

This challenge blog will remain available indefinitely. The linky tool is now closed and the comments box removed. However if you wish to share your work the Facebook group is still open. There is a link on each blog post to the step by step journal pages on my personal blog.

Day 30: Gratitude
Starting
Point:
Have
you kept up with the 30 days of this blog?
Do you
have a complete or nearly complete journal?
Will
you continue to keep a gratitude journal?
Do you
feel you have a different attitude now from when we started?
Quote:
You
simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving
thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have
set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for,
the more will be given you. Sarah Ban
Breathnach
Bible verse:
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will
tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1
Inspiration:
Technique
Challenge:
Dyan's Shadow Stamping
Watch
Dyan’s video and then try it yourself.
If you don’t have Dyan’s stamps (Why not?) then try other stamps that
you already have.
And one last guest contribution: A poem from my friend Suki Bonilla
I am Thankful
I have so much to be thankful
for
So much more than I could
ever tell
If I live to be a hundred
years or more
For every day that I was
allowed to breathe
For my children and their
precious seeds
For my mate who embraces me
And promises that no matter
what may come
He will stand by my side, and
never part
For the healings, the
deliverances
The souls that now can see
For the new song I sing at
noon
Or in the midnight hour
For the victories and Your
Awesome Power
I am Thankful
Time to say goodbye:
Can you believe we have come to the end of our challenges. I hope you have had a great time.
If you haven't finished your journal yet, don't worry. The blog posts will remain so you can come back any time.

Day 29: Appreciation
Starting
Point:
What
do you most appreciate in life?
Quote:
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To
express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in
return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others
around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it. Ralph Marston
Bible Verse:
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts
with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4
Inspiration:
I couldn’t find a video link for Appreciation so
I’ve included this just because it’s fun.
And I really appreciate Anita Renfroe’s humour.
Technique Challenge:
Use a paper serviette as part of your page.
Paper serviettes are usually 3 ply. Remove the top layer carefully and tear round
the image you want to use. Spread gel
medium or pva glue thinly on your page and carefully smooth your serviette
image onto the page. Put another thin layer
of glue over the top.
