KTA Thankful Project


Back at the beginning of 2013 I challenged myself to find the importance in the little thingsI wanted to be thankful for all of the blessings in my life, specifically the ones that are forgotten on a daily basis. So what I did was create a "Thankful Project", every day I would do a count down along with 1 thing I was thankful for with a photo on Instagram. This year I would LOVE to have you join me! Maybe I can actually keep track of the days better if I have some friends to help me out :) I was horrible when it came to keeping track with my numbers, but man o man I learned a lot by looking for the little things in life that I couldn't live with out. 


To join the project all you have to do is tag your thankful photos on Instagram with #KTAthankful. Each week I'm going to do a Thursday post to round up some of that weeks Thankful moments and pictures shared on Instagram. You don't have to post every day if you don't want, all I want this project to achieve is to get each of us to notice and be thankful for the little things in life. 

Here is a quick review of some of my post from the past year. 

1. We got our puppy January of 2013! 2. Completed 6 pieces of art and had my first ever art show! 3. Moved to the boondocks but found the most beautiful place ever. 4. Painted my kitchen a teal and got my first china cabinet. 5. became a regular of Lowes and got a WELDER. 5. Decorated for Christmas!! 

If you are looking for something to do this new year please join me with the KTAthankful project! I learned so much last year and think it is a great challenge that will change your entire out look on the blessings you have received, big or small!

I'm thinking about adding a link-up each Thursday for each of us to find some other fab Instagramers. Let me know what you think about a link up.

Monthly Giveaway #4

How's about we start this year off with a giveaway! I'm thinking 2014 is going to be a great year, so it only seems right that we celebrate by giving away some free stuff, right? ;)

I don't know about you but I am a little overwhelmed trying to get the house back in order after the Christmas decorating frenzy. My rooms feel empty and cluttered all at the same time. It doesn't make sense but mannnnnn I'm ready to figure these rooms out! I've got some big plans that I hope I can share with you in the next month or so. Rachel and I are excited to be teaming up with a few Etsy shops to help kick start your new year organizing!  

 First up in the prize package is a set of 2 Upcycled Vinyl Record Wine Rack/Wall Organizers from Movie Vinyl.

  DSC02745These are great to clear your counter space and store your wine bottles or incoming mail. Here is what Shawn from Movie Vinyl has to say : "This set of 2 LPs has been upcycled into a small wine rack. Each record can hold one full bottle of wine (they work best with Bordeaux and Alsace style wine bottles). If wine isn't your thing, they can also serve as unique wall organizers and can hold mail, magazines, pictures, vinyl albums and other miscellanea in your home, office or apartment. The center hole on the vinyl records makes them easy to mount with a nail, screw or even a thumb tack (depending on where you mount it and what you will use it for). Photos illustrate what you can do with a simple screw. A screw or nail is recommended if using records to hold wine. No playable album was harmed in the making of this item. All LPs used to created these items are in overall poor condition and generally unplayable."

 Keeping with our "Organize it!" theme, we have everything you need to set up your own 2014 planner! We'll be sending you a mini-binder to get started, and Jennifer @ The Polka Dot Posie Print will fill it up for you!
