2.02 Lucky Me - Ideas for your list

So if you plan to do the class, you should probably start with your list of things you are grateful for! I have created a worksheet to help you stay organized and a list of ideas to get you started! If you have done a favorite's album before, like I have, then you will have to be a bit more creative to come up with new things to scrap. I tried to focus on stuff that was not a "thing" or a person to come up with items I would not usually scrap about.

You can find the worksheet here:
worksheet

Ideas:

1. Things you do: think about activities you are grateful for... the activities that make you happy, help keep you sane, or that you really appreciate. Activities like: grabbing lunch with friends, time alone at your favorite cafe, going for a run, date night, scrapbook time, online chatting, etc.
   
2. Technology: we are so lucky to have all these new technologies in our lives that let us do things that we could not have done so easily in the past. What modern conveniences are you most grateful for and why. Consider things like: your phone or laptop, airplanes, your car, new gadgets you recently got, the internet, websites, etc.
   
3. Places: what places are your favorite hideouts? Where do you love to go, that place that always makes you happy? What spaces do you call yours? Ideas: your crop space, your office, a favorite park or building, your town or neighborhood, your house.
   
4. Objects: Do you have particular objects that cherish and feel lucky to have? Ideas: family heirlooms, something your child made for you, things you lost but found again.
   
5. Day to day life: what about your everyday life do you appreciate most? In what ways do you feel blessed? Think about where you are right now, who you are, what you spend your time doing and capture those things you feel luckiest about. Perhaps its being a stay at home mom, or maybe you are grateful to have a job you enjoy.
   
6. Achievements: Think about how far you have come and things you have accomplished in life. Which are most meaningful to you? Ideas: having raised wonderful children, getting your degree, losing weight, staying married, etc.
   

I am sure there are lots more things you could think of! I hope this helps get you going Be sure to tell us what is on your list so far!

I totally did mine at work. It was great to really sit down and think about what I am grateful for and why.

This will be a huge help...thank you!

You've got me thinking!!! These are also great blogging ideas... so even if I can't scrap it now, I can blog about it, include a picture and scrap it later.

That is a great idea Tess!!! I have my list started and almost done, but these ideas will help me to finish up my list.

Love that idea!

Love the ideas to get the 'mojo' going! This one will keep me busy when the kiddos are in school. Love this!

Thanks for all those ideas. It does get me thinking of things I would normally feel grateful for.

Let me know if any of you have an issue with the form!

Wonderful inspiration list. I have printed it out and really plan to do this. I just hope i can finish it by Feb 28 since I have a vacation coming up this month. But even if I don't make the deadline, I'm still making this album.
