Thankful 30 Day 3: A Moment That Made Me Smile

Welcome to Day 3 of Thankful 30! Today, I’m documenting a fun everyday memory: Rob surrounded by giant teddy bears at Costco.

It’s the kind of photo that makes me smile when I see it again. A shopping trip might not seem like a scrapbook occasion, but those little moments are part of our story, too.

Today’s Scrap Journal Page

For this layout, I’m using teal designer paper to bring together my photos and journaling. The page gives this playful memory a place in my Scrap Journal—and reminds me to appreciate the fun we find in everyday life.

That’s one of my favorite things about documenting gratitude. We don’t have to wait for a holiday, vacation, or special event. An ordinary day can hold something worth remembering.
