"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
If you take a moment to really think about what
you're thankful for, you realize nothing is too small
to go by unnoticed... a breath, the beating of your heart...
Then there are bigger, broader things, like your family
and their health, your home, your husband, children...
everything and everyone is a blessing.
In everything give thanks...
give thanks with a grateful heart.
~1 Thessalonians 5:18 ~

but how we use them, is the true measure

Beautiful tags, Megan!
ReplyDeleteI just had to leave a comment because I also LOVE your message about thankfulness. I want to start my first art journal (although I'm a little intimidated to actually get started) and thought my theme would be things I'm thankful for. I'm an average person with an average life but it's my dream life. I think a lot of it has to do with perspective, with being thankful for all the details, no matter how small. :-)
Have a blessed day ~ and thank you so much for the link back to my blog.

Oh the tags are just so great and sure will enjoy using them. Loved reading about being thankful for everything in our lives not only the big things but the small ones as well. What a beautiful message that was. Thank you so much for sharing all your creations and words.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful, multi-use tags! Thank you, Megan! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Megan..love all these tags. One of the things I'm thankful for is your beautiful art work you freely share with the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I have been meaning to leave a comment for awhile, but life's business takes over and that is sad! Your blog and all it's sentiments are truly motivational. You have such a positive view on life that is contagious and spreads to all your readers, I am sure. Thanks so much for reminding us to be truly thankful for every little thing in our life. My x-husband was involved in a swimming accident and is now a quadriplegic. We just never know what each day holds in store, so we must take each day as a gift to be thankful for, experiencing life to the fullest and being grateful for each sunrise and sunset. I have to say thank you again from the bottom of my heart...YOU are a gift to all of us!!!!

Those Boston Public Library pages on Flickr are so awesome, I had to do one more set of Victorian sewing printable tags... I'm thinking to attach these on some self made Christmas gifts, for my family and friends. One can never start crafting too early... :-P

Megan, your images are beautiful! What software do you use to layer the images. I have collected postcards for 20 years and I would like to try it. Can I share some images with you? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI've recently been inspired by all you beautiful ladies out there to learn to create Vintage/Junk Journals for myself personally and to pass along as gift to friends and family. I want to give my THANKS for the blessings of these lovely printables to begin my journey. I will pass along the blessings of my creations to others as you have passed on your works. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Your freebies are greatfully appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your beautiful tags. Each of us have so much to be thankful for, we just need to slow down & open our eyes. Thank you for reminding me to see all I have to be thankful for! God bless you & your giving heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
