Welcome to the beginning of our "Giving Thanks" celebration! Doesn't it seem like Thanksgiving is being pushed aside more and more each year? The stores are already playing Christmas music in many parts of the country!
Let's take these next six days (Monday-Saturday) to prepare our hearts and homes for this wonderful time of year. Each day I will be posting a Thanksgiving related activity, cleaning challenge and Words of Thanksgiving. They will be located directly below this post!
I would love for you to join in the fun! Mr. Linky is available for you to sign and here are some things you could share:
-What you are thankful for
-Thanksgiving traditions or memories
-Recipes
-Craft Ideas
-Decorating ideas
-Your menu
-Cleaning/Organizing "before" and "after" pictures
-Anything having to do with Thanksgiving!
Remember, everyone who participates and signs Mr. Linky will be entered into a drawing at the end of the week! Go HERE to see the prizes. Each day you participate, your name will be entered into the giveaway drawing. If you participate two days, your name will be entered twice, join us all five days for five entries, etc.
Please read the participating instructions carefully:
1. Write a Thanksgiving post on your blog. Link back to There is No Place Like Home so that others can join in. You may use the "Giving Thanks" button located at the top of this post.
2. When signing Mr. Linky, you must link directly to your "Giving Thanks" post and not your homepage URL.
3. In order to make the Mr. Linky list easy to read, please type your first name only. You may also add a 1-2 word description of what you are sharing. Example: Kelli-Recipe.
Note: Mr. Linky will be up at 12:00am Eastern time each day.
Have fun! We are looking forward to what you have to share!

ReplyDeleteGlad I can participate! My post got a little longer than I planned... but I was able to share how my family has been able to keep things simple (my husband's influence I think) by not going overboard with the meal!

Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful idea, Kelli! I'm excited to participate this week!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do something like this on my blog and was so glad to see someone put together a carnival for the same idea.
ReplyDeleteI like your poem on the side.
Will try to enter earlier tomorrow.
I think this is wonderful! I agree that Thanksgiving has become overlooked in a culture that isn't interested in giving thanks. Thank you for doing this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful week you have lined up for all of us! I'm looking forward to it. :)
