Those collages were composed of mixed media materials.  However, you could use anything you wanted…paper, fabric, embellishments, mixed media.

These could be memory pages, vacation pages, travel, daily journal type, food and/or gardening, or simply miscellaneous designs.  You could try out new techniques and new materials.

If one page a day is too much, simply do this once a week, or whenever you have time.  It also would be a fun project to do with children.

This idea has inspired me. I think I’d better try using a notebook or scrapbook because if I have loose pages scattered around, they’ll stay scattered and I’ll lose them.

I’ll start with paper at first, simply because it’s readily available.  If I put off until I find the “perfect” materials, I’ll never get started.  My busy life will simply take over.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

Have you ever tried anything like this?

Create a Page-a-Day Collage

Why not write a Thankful Poem for Thanksgiving?  This can be an activity you’re involved in with your children, holiday guests or simply yourself. 

For details on one way to do this, check out my post, Mary Emma’s Writing Tip – A Thankful Poem, at One Book Two Book.

Another way to write the poem is to spell the word THANKSGIVING down the page.  Then write something for each letter, such as Traveling to Grandma’s, Having a festive family meal, etc.  Then decorate the page with  a Thanksgiving motif. 

What about making a collage of either type of poem and decorating with fabric, paper, and embellishments?

Thankful Poems might be a Thanksgiving Day activity or something you do over the weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!
