Be Thankful Frame

I just made another decoration for my soon to be Fall/Thanksgiving Mantel. This time I made a Be Thankful frame. I made 2 types, not sure if I will have both on the same display.
I am in love with my first choice! 
It says "Give Thanks for unknown blessings already on their way".  


The second one I made after seeing this kind of saying in so many blogs with all different meanings. It says: "Stay Calm and be Thankful."  Around the holidays, sometimes we get so busy with trips, get together dinners, food and gifts that we forget just to enjoy time together. We can get overwhelmed but we have to stay CALM and just Be Thankful  for what we have!


Material
Frame Mat{Dollar Store}, glue, scissors, ruler, scrapbook paper and the sayings that you can download at the end of this post. 

Measure the sides of the frame and cut the scrapbook paper to fit the sides and paste it to the frame.


I also made this one with left over paper. 



Cost for both frames: $2.50

For the Give Thanks for unknown blessings already on their way, HERE. 
NOTE: This will fit on a frame mat that has a 5x7 opening. You might have to trim the sides before you glue it to the mat.

I would love to know each one is your favorite!
