Christmas in October - Free Printable I am Thankful for..

This is one of my all time favorite poems, quotes, whatever you want to call it I love it. I originally made this  piece for myself to hang in my hallway where I see it everyday. If you have never seen this quote before, please take a minute to read it because it really does make you think. (If you click on the image it will open larger in another window)

The timing for me to share this is appropriate for my fellow Canadian's as this weekend is our Thanksgiving. I know most of you reading this aren't even thinking about Thanksgiving yet, but you can always Pin it and come back in a month and a half if you want to use it for Thanksgiving decoration.
I do not know if this will be a Christmas gift that I will give  (perhaps to a couple close friends), but I thought you might like it for a significant other or just for yourself like me.

"I am Thankful" was originally printed in the Family Circle magazine in November of 1999 by Nancy J. Carmody. I have taken her article and changed the order slightly so that 'I am alive' appears at the bottom. I have known about this piece for a while but do not know 100% if the version I have is exactly as she wrote it. To be honest with you, I can't find the original source. Also, there are two different spellings of her name, so please forgive me Nancie/Nancy if I used the wrong one :)

I produced this as an 8x10 image in two different colors. I hate to say this, but please use this only for personal use. I love offering free ideas and cheap gifts to everyone but hate when I stumble upon someone making money off it.

To download the image:

  • leave me a comment :) (not required but I really do love to know what you think)
  • right click on the color image you want and select open in a new window or tab
  • on the full size image, right click again and select save as
  • save it to a place on your computer where you can easily find it
  • send it to your favorite photo developer, find a frame and you can cross another Christmas gift off your list.
Here is the red image for download

Here is the teal image for download
If you would like another color or one without the box on the top, leave me a comment and I will try my best to make the changes you want.

What do you think of this? Do you think you will use it for Thanksgiving, Christmas gift or just for yourself?

For all my Canadian readers, have wonderful Happy Thanksgiving and for all my other friends, have a great weekend!
Stephanie

  1. Thank you for the printable! I host Thanksgiving for about 30 family members and I think I'm going to put this out with my Autumn decor to remind my family of the things in life that are really worth being Thankful for.

  9. There are several approaches one can take in choosing wedding cake designs, from traditional
    cream or white icing in classical designs to totally modern artistic colorful masterpieces.

    Consider the number of guests attending the wedding ceremony to assist in determining the types of layer and the
    number of levels to have on the cake. But you need to show them off properly.

  10. If you wish to use flowers, glass vases, or candles, albeit with a
    twist, you can think about innovative designs and arrangements to make your reception table
    stand out in the crowd. This lightly colored blue and green leaf colored shade is a dome design with an
    uneven edge flowing edge. The first table will have a
    pink table cloth with blue napkins, while the next has a blue table cloth with pink napkins, and so on and so forth.

  15. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

  18. Hi there! This article could not be written much better! Looking through this article reminds me
    of my previous roommate! He continually kept preaching about this. I am going to send this article
    to him. Fairly certain he will have a great read. Thanks for sharing! Hello, I think your blog may be having
    browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in
    I.E., it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, great site!
    Spot on with this write-up, I really feel this amazing site needs a great deal more attention. I’ll probably be
    returning to read through more, thanks for the information! Aw, this was a really good post. Taking the
    time and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and
    don't manage to get nearly anything done.
