My "September" Choice

I have chosen who will be "September" and my first big "Thank you." :) I am now debating whether or not to go public with the name or keep it a secret until my project is done. Hmmmm.... I'm sure September will see this blog at some point soon. They are a big part of my life and I'm sure they will recognize their name. Do I want that? To take the full month to say thank you and thank you? Then they can follow along and get excited about the project as I work on it. Or would it be a bigger impact to get it in person and be surprised? This is a lot more complicated then I originally intended, but I want to be consistent with this blog. I'll think about it and welcome your opinion as a reader. What info do YOU want?

Now to plot the first project. September is creative and fun. I think I'd like to make something for their house. I would love an excuse to break out my sewing machine and try something new. September has a couple walls that could use some artwork. Mixed media project?! Hmm... Oh, you are in for a treat, September. I wish I could spoil you all year, but you are just the first of a dozen.

Comment or email with your opinion on if I should keep it a secret or not. And you can also follow me on Facebook now. http://www.facebook.com/ThankADozen/

With Love,

Thank you's

I often find myself being blessed in ways that leave me speechless. Saying "Thank you" is hard for me not because I don't feel they deserve the thanks, but because I feel those words don't express how thankful I really am. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, in-laws, church family, co-workers, and friends that deserve a better "thank you." So, I came up with an idea to thank the wonderful people in my life. I will use this blog to motivate and keep myself focused on the goal of giving people the thanks that they will remember. I will choose one person a month to thank. Seems simple, but I want to have the time to do something special for them. So... Every year, I will Thank a Dozen. Please join me on this journey to see what creative ways I come up with to thank those I love and please let it help motivate and encourage you to take time to thank those who have blessed you in a special and unique way. <3 KP
