The 2021 Meier tags for the Thanksgiving Garland
The garland idea was a great Keep the Faith project
that began about 10 years ago.
It started out with leaves, Bible verses and gratitude lists.
Then the grandchildren started coming,
so I began to add a photos for them for each year
and a few words of just what they are doing for each year.
Then more grandchildren came along the way.
I saw that busy mamas- and busy working mamas of littles-
would have NO TIME to make the tags
for each of their own family garlands.

So. I asked the mamas for 2 favorite photos of each child,
a family photo and one with just the kiddos.
I make the tags for each family and leave a space
for moms to add a note about each child.
I also added some Scripture verses
from the Thanks verse project by Sally Beck
from Visual Faith Ministry.
It may have been more of an art project ten years ago,
but now it is assembly line and get them done.
No need to add much more embellishment
than some Distress ink.

Each family adds their own tags
to their growing tag garland.
The kids love looking at the photos
from year to year with laughs and giggles.
The grownups can't believe how quickly the changes
are happening in the little families.
I make a set for our own Thanksgiving garland.
I put the 2 photos of each child
on one tag- front and back.
I added a heart tag that tells a bit
about them THIS YEAR.
Another tag for each family has parents
and children on one side and just the kids on the other.
SO many blessings- and an expanding
fatter and fatter garland is a very good thing.
