Joy Jar – Week 1 Creatively Grateful
Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a rather large amount of gratitude.

We are one week into our creativity challenge. Well done to everyone who made the effort to make their “Joy Jar.” Now try to remember to write something you are thankful for every day for the rest of the 8 week challenge and add it to your gratitude jar. May it remind us to count our blessings!
Week 1’s Challenge was to make a “Joy Jar” which is a gratitude jar/box/suitcase/plate/thing in which to record one happy thing that happened each day for the rest of the 8 weeks.
I really enjoyed the different ways that this week’s project was interpreted. So many good ideas and so much creativity!

Week 2’s Challenge: My Favourite Things…
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
A song from the Sound Of Music
I watched the movie, The Sound of Music, a few times when I was a kid. I really enjoyed the songs. My Favourite Things is sung when the kids come to Maria because they can’t sleep because they are scared of the thunderstorm. So she tells them they should think of their favourite things. Here’s the link if you want to watch the clip.
Show us one, two or a few of your favourite things by making a word collage, drawing or painting one of your favourite things, take a photo and adding your favourite quote, writing about your favourite things.
You can include one thing or all of them in any way you want to express yourself. This is also not limited to one project. You can draw a picture of one thing and write about another if you want to.
