Thanksgiving + A Freebie

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful day, surrounded by the blessings of love and prosperity and good health and happiness, and that your hearts are full today, and everyday. 

I have so much to be thankful for; my life is blessed by the love of my wonderful Husband and beautiful Daughter and my amazing Mother, who gives of her time and energy to help us work and provide for our family. I am thankful for my friends, my extended family, my career, my opportunities, my buddy Drake. I am thankful for the people who work in service of others, our military men and women, police and firefighters, doctors and nurses and social workers. I am thankful for Starbucks and Target and technology and new clothes and Root Touch-Up, and a million small things that have a major impact on my daily happiness.

Life can be a rollercoaster ride of tremendous ups and downs, but today, when I look around me, I feel nothing but happiness and contentment with my place in the world. Life is a gift I treasure with all of my heart, and I am ever so thankful for the lessons and experiences I have gathered along my journey. 

We are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family, but before we hit the road, here is a little printable freebie... I hope you can use these Grateful Journaling Cards to write down a few things you are grateful for today, and everyday. (I packed this pretty tight on the page to fit it all in, so if you can, print it on the "borderless" page setting if your printer has this option, and as always, if you want these cards to work for your Project Life album, don't choose "Scale to Fit.")

Enjoy!!

Black Friday Awesome

Friends, if there is one thing you should know about me, it's this:

I love shopping.

Love.
It.

High on my list of things I am thankful for, this and every Holiday Season, are: Shop Owners, Product Designers, Fashion Stylists, Directors of Soft Goods, and Target. (duh.)

Our family isn't big on Black Friday shopping, but the handful (or less) of times that we've participated, it's been f-u-n FUN!!

So...when I found out that one of the perks of being an Inner Circle member would be the option to participate in the Target Black Friday Weekend Scavanger Hunt (or as Maggie calls it, a "Havensgir Skunt!"), I was like, Word. I'm in!! What better way to burn off all those Thanksgiving calories? All weekend, we've been asked to take pictures of the deals and gift ideas we find at Target, and share them on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. We'll be using the hashtags #TargetBlackFriday and #TargetInnerCircle. We'll be competing to win: whoever posts the most pictures at the end of the day on Saturday, gets an awesome prize!!

And to get ready for what could only be the most fun Target Black Friday EVER, I have been supplied with a "Survival Kit" to help get me through the crowds and onto the fun!  Inside my trusty Target shopping tote, I'll be carrying the shopping essentials, like: 

• Extra shopping totes
• Starbucks VIA Pumpkin Spice Latte mix
• A Pen and Notepad
• Trident Gum
• A hefty bottle of h2o
• a Luna bar + fruit snacks

in addition to these, I will be customizing my kit with some additional items:

• Lipstick
• Hand sanitizer
• iPhone, headphones, Holiday music on my iTunes and of course, the Target App!
• my battery iPhone charger
• Visine (you know I'll be fresh off a couple glasses of wine, people!)
• a copy of my victory speech, because I plan on winning this challenge! WOOT!!

Since I will be doing the first leg of my shop-a-thon in my hometown of Silverdale, WA, I have requisitioned my reluctant husband to come along as my assistant. Frankly, I am concerned I might not have made the right choice...he's a little, how should I put this....crowd averse? I should probably put some additional items into the kit just for him, like maybe some Zanax? :D 

Oh, and just for fun, I might have an impromptu giveaway during my shopping adventures...maybe...and maybe you should follow me on Twitter (@jenniferpebbles) and/or Instagram (instagram.com/jenniferpebbles)...just in case. *winkwinknudgenudge*

 Happy Shopping Peeps!! #pebblesftw
