Day 296

Today I am thankful for green trees with silver ornaments ;) Sounds funny! Anyways, a green tree with all silver sparkly ornaments sounds sooooo pretty! :) That's pretty much it :)

Day 295

A tree that I think would be adorable is an ever green with all nature ornaments. Ones of animals or trees or whatever else you wan't from nature :) Or even one that is dressed like it's growing outside with birds nests and snow and such. Either of these sounds extreamly neat to me! :) I am thankful for this kind of decoration, and for the inspiration of God's lovely earth :)

Day 294

Today is fiber optic :) I have a little tree that used to be fiber optic and I enjoy ed it until it ran out :) Now I decorate it every year in my room. A little tree for a little house :)

Day 293

This week, even though Christmas is over, I am going to list my top 7 Christmas tree ideas! :) Today is a mini pre-lit tree. I am not a huge fan of the little trees but I think that in certain places they look really good and if I was going to have one I’d have a pre-lit mini one like this one. It’s really cute and easy to deal with!

Day 292

My all time favorite tradtion around Christmas is chopping down the tree. It is not Christmas for me unless we go and chop down our own tree! We always go out sometime after Thanksgiving and look for the "perfect" tree to chop down. It's a fun family adventure every year :) I am so thankful for this tradition and I hope to uphold it in my family when I have my own! :)

Day 291

Today, I am thankful for my family around Christmas. I got to see most of my family this year and I always enjoy that. That’s one of my favorite parts of the holidays; I love all of my family! I am thankful for them and seeing them! :)

Day 290

Yesterday I was thankful for decorating the tree. It’s one of my all-time favorite traditions. When we get the tree in we put the lights on for a couple days and then we decorate the tree. There’s music going and usually a fire in the fireplace and we all make the tree pretty as a family. I really enjoy it! :)

Day 289

Monday decorating my room was what I was thankful for. Since I don’t have my own house yet I always go all out on my room and make it look extremely festive! It’s always real cute :) Sometimes I can make things a bit gaudy, but it’s alright. No one sees it! haha!

Day 288

It's been crazy with the holliday so pardon my missing days :) On Sunday I was thankful for holiday shopping. I know, crazy haha! But I am thankful that the stores all stay open and that if we forget something, the store is still open! And it's extreamly funny to see people shop around the holidays :)

Day 287

Another of my favorite traditions is to go look at lights. I always go look at lights at lesat once a year. They could be lights at the zoo, or around the neighborhood or a place that is specially make just to look at the lights. No matter what way I always get in the Christmas mood when I go look at the pretty light displays :)

Day 286

This week I am going to go through my top 7 favorite traditions :) 7 is baking. I love baking around Christmas. Nothing syas the holidays like fresh baked goods ;)It's only number 7 because it doesn't happen very often ;) I am thankful for the lovely smell!

Day 285

Today and my favorite scent is pine :) There is nothing better than a pine scent in the winter or even fall :) It reminds me too much of Christmas to enjoy it any other time of the year cause we always have a real tree :) I am very thankful for this scent!

Day 284

Today I am thankful for fireplace scent. There is really no general better scent than a fire. I absolutly love having fires and playing with them and in them ;) They are pretty awesome! I always want a house with a fire place :)

Day 283

Today I am thankful for cinnamon scent. It’s really strong but throughout a whole house it smells so incredible! :) It’s also a good fall/winter scent to have around the house. Love it! :)

Day 282

I love cookie smelling candels. Yes, they make me extreamly hungry, but they are so amazing! :) My friend got me one last year for Christmas and it was amazingggg lol I still have it actually and finished burning it up a couple of weeks ago :( Hah! Oh well. Guess I'll have to go buy annother one! ;) And for our first Christmas as a couple my boyfriend got me a cookie candel which was equaly amazing! I really enjoy cookie candels :) I am very thankful for them!

Day 281

I am thankful for vanilla today! It is a very generic scent but it smells so good! :) It reminds me of Christmas cookies! :) MMmmmm! Makes me hungry. hah! That's all for vanilla scent :)

Day 280

My mom has a candel called fresh balsam that I love! I don't really know what that is actually. But it smells really good! :) I am very thankful for this scent! And that's all :)

Day 279

Since we are entering winter next Friday I am going to list the scents I am thankful for from fall to winter :) Today is leaves. I absolutely love the smell of dead/dyeing leaves. I know that sounds kind of sick and weird, but they are so wonderful to me! I think it helps that they don’t let out any allergens and that makes my nose happy :) They smell so great though! :)

Day 278

Today I am thankful for acrylic paint, my favorite medium! I like how fast it dries, cause I am not a patient person and cannot stand to wait around for it to. I also like how the colors are. They are very bold and I like bold colors  So that is why they are my favorite!

Day 277

So I definitely tried to blog last night and I couldn’t remember my password for my iPod and my computer was “configuring” all night. So I just gave up and went to sleep  But yesterday I was thankful for my camera. I love taking pictures and that is one of my favorite mediums. The only reason why it’s not number one is because I feel as if it’s almost a cheat ;) But it is what I am best at so I really enjoy it!

Day 276

Today I am thankful for charcoal pencils. These are really enjoyable to use! They are deeper and thicker than pencils, so that's why I enjoy using them. If you haven't noticed, I like really rich colors ;) They aren't very forgiving though, but sometimes that's just not as important :)

Day 275

Today I am thankful for chalk! Chalks color is not as vibrant as others, but they are nice and easy to mix and work with. I really enjoy working with something so plyable. So that's why it's one of my favorites :)

Day 274

Now for today ;) I am thankful for oil pastels. I love the look of oil pastels. They have such a rich color to them that I absolutely LOVE working with! :) They are one of my favorites, of course ;)

Day 273

Yesterday was pencil or pen art mediums. I really enjoy looking at a beautiful pen or pencil drawing, I love the simplicity of it, and the beauty of it. I also enjoy them because I cannot do a drawing like this at all! I fail at anything realistic or permanent ;)

Day 272

This week I am blogging about my favorite art mediums. For anyone who does not know, an art medium is what you use to do your art. Such as with paint, acrylic, oil or water color, are the three main choices. Today my favorite is metal. I have never made a metal sculpture, but I am just dyeing to do one! I honestly cannot wait to get my hands on some metal and just let things flow. Maybe once things calm down a bit  I find them so pretty and so interesting. I am very thankful for them! And for the ones that have not yet come ;)

Day 271

Today I am thankful for my computer. For all of the things I do on my phone, I do those times 10 on my computer. I can live without it, but it is so convenient and helps me out with so many things. Whether it be blogging or school things, I love my computer! ;) I am so happy to have it!

Day 270

Today I am thankful for my phone! I use it all the time for all different things! I use it to tell time, to communicate, to check the weather, to look at the calender, to wake up, to calculate numbers, to take pictures, etc. I would live, but I would be sad without my phone :( It is such a large part of me, and I am thankful that I have it! :)

Day 269

My brother used to have this exact clock actually :) This picture brought back some old memories. Today I am thankful for digital clocks! I have a really difficult time reading the old clocks that have been around for forever. I know, it's sad haha! But I am thankful for these so that I can tell the time quickly and not have to stare at it for forever :)

Day 268

Today is heat and air :) I am so thankful for heat in the winter and air in the summer. They are really important to me. I can live without them but I'm happy I don't have to :) I am thankful for both of them! :)

Day 267

Today I am thankful for lights. We have a room in our house that has one light. It's a lamp on a stand and it sits in one corner. Now that room also has a working fireplace, but both of those is not enough light to be able to see anything. When it is dark out you might as well not count on being able to see in that room because it won't happen. When I'm in there it makes me really thankful for lights! It's amazing how many times a day I use lights and don't even notice it. They are such an important part of everyday life! :)

Day 266

Today I am thankful for freezers and fridges :) It's nice to be able to buy food ahead of time and keep it cool in no matter what weather. They are important for everyday life and it's something that I personally do not think about a lot. I am thankful for them! :)
