*Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

School is back in session.  A lot of us have little ones that started Preschool and Kindergarten this year.  Today was my daughter Chloe's first day of Kindergarten.  I dropped her off and then walked home crying like a baby! LOL.  I'm grateful for this day.  I want to celebrate, so I'm going to give you all a chance to win this new paper collection by Basic Grey.

Here's the catch (yah, there's always a catch) ~ tell me something that you are thankful for.  I am thankful that my daughter is in remission and that she was able to start Kindergarten on time.  I am grateful that she made a few friends at school today and that she came home happy and ready to do her first homework assignment with a smile on her face. 

I will choose a winner next Tuesday night, September 9th.

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

Michelle....I feel for you.  My daughter had such a tough time with preschool and kindergarten.  Every day I left I cried...preschool she just had a hard time adjusting, but kindergarten  I would have moved her out of that classroom now if only I knew...(the teacherwas definitely the wrong fit for her..she was way too harsh and cold.  but back then I was to new to this area and didn't know better) If only I could go back...

I am thankful for :
My daughter being able to know and be close to her great grandmother.  Even though she is in real tough shape right now, I am very thankful that she was able to grow up with her being her to teach her about life and spend lots of time with her.  I am also thankful that I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 16 years next month and we still have it all together..  I couldnt live without him...

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

I can't win but I will say what I am thankful for anyway smile

I am thankful that in my husband, I also have my best friend. I thank that my children are healthy and able to go to school and the freedom that allows us to chose where. I am thankful we have a home over our head and food on our table. I am thankful that in these hard times, my husband has a good job, and that I am fortunate enough to have one too.

I'm thankful that Hurricane Hanna turned into a tropical storm and is lessening in power.  The storm comes to shore tomorrow where we live and I'm so glad we will be safe.

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

I can't imagine how you feel, Michelle.  I hard a hard enough time sending mine to her part-time morning pre-school.

I am thankful today for the last drops of creamer I have left for my coffee this morning..

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

I am so very thankful for many things. Where do I start? I am thankful for my family - for a wonderful loving, supportive husband that is also my best friend. I am thankful for my 5 beautiful boys. I am strangely thankful for the hectic life that I lead - especially once soccer season starts. There's nothing like sitting in a lawn chair all Saturday afternoon cheering on your children. I am thankful for my husband's stable job and the scrapbooking opportunities that have come my way during these financially rough times. I am thankful for my church and the wonderful family we have there. I am thankful for the internet. Yep, the internet. Without it, we would never have known about my infant son's cranial problems and he wouldn't have been treated before suffering permanent side effects. I am thankful for all of my internet friends. For all the fun we have chatting, all the support we give each other and all the love that can be shown from all over the world. Okay, I have so much more but I'll save it for another time. wink

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

I'm thankful for being alive! When my older daughter was born 11 years ago, I lost a kidney as a result of complications. Needless to say it was a very dramatic and traumatic birth. But I pulled through and actually managed to have a second child 4 years later. Then in late 2003, I found out I had breast cancer. Luckily, it was in the early stages and the doctors managed to do a lumpectomy to remove the lump. I'm almost reaching my 5-year threshold now, so I'm thankful to be alive to see my kids grow up!

Many, Many Things I am Thankful For, I could list them forever.. First I am Thankful That God Loves me so much... And Man oh man He Does... wink .  I am Thankful For My Husband of 29 Years.. He is my Rock in Life.
I have a Miracle I am so Thankful for that I wake up everyday and Thank God for the Protection he Gave My Son while he was in Afghanistan.   My Son would not be here today if it were not for his mighty hand of Protection.

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

So glad to hear what others are thankful for.  I am thankful that my kids are healthy and in a good school district, and that I married my DH and that we have what we need.  I am grateful for good friends and free-time now that the kids are in school.

Thanks too for giving us the chance to win the new BG.  Awesome!

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

I can relate to all of you who have kids starting school.  My oldest started Kindergarten Tuesday and so far he loves it.  I am thankful for that, but also for the health and happiness of our family and for feeling little baby kicks in my belly. 

Thanks for letting us share and have the chance to win the new BG!

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband (high school sweetheart and happily married 45 years!!!), four amazing kids, two great daughters-in-law, and 5 terrific grand kids.  I'm thankful that my son in the middle east is in God's care and I'm grateful for all the prayers that go out for him everyday.  I love them so much and I'm so grateful for their continuing health and happiness.

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

Everyone has such great answers, mine is going to sound trivial, but I'm grateful right now for The Land before Time for keeping my daughter entertained for one hour while I get some scrapbooking done on my 10 tips class!  I'm also grateful to Kimmi for putting this awesome album together, so I didn't have to think about anything!  It is such a great way to get all my summer photos scrapped - I never would have done it otherwise!

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

Wow, there are so many things I am thankful for right now.
One healthy baby boy growing bigger every day in my tummy, reminding me of the miracle of life.
My boys who are wonderful, happy and now adjusted (rather easily) to a new schedule which includes school all day everyday.
My handsome hubby, who I don't see enough of...but works hard to support us all and loves me unconditionally (pregnancy hormones and all wink)
A job I really love, this hobby which has led me to wonderful places like this and numerous close friends I can chat with everyday when I need to just talk big_smile

Re: *Let's Celebrate * WIN Basic Grey GRANOLA Paper Collection

Well, I thought I'd jump in here.  So much to be thankful for but since there is a school themed reason for this giveaway I guess I'll mention the one thing that is pretty prominent in my life right now.  I am thankful that my son likes his teacher and did not cry all the way to the bus stop today, like he did yesterday.  (I cried all the way back from the bus stop yesterday, after getting him on the bus - he's 6, in 1st grade - my sensitive boy)
