SDBT: Attitude of Gratitude (Nov. 2017)





Welcome to the Scrap Designers' Blog Train for November!

I have to admit...Thanksgiving is probably my favorite of the "big" holidays in the US, for three reasons:

1. It's not commercialized like a lot of them are.
2. It's about family.
3. It gets everyone else to do something what I try to do all the time anyhow - look for the good in every day and be thankful for it.

So when this month's theme "Attitude of Gratitude" was announced, I was practically giddy, and I had such a hard time limiting myself to a reasonable number of word art files.

So here we are - 9 designers who are ready to help you get the holiday season started with a special gift to you - all the blog train freebies!

Promethean Concepts
Nellie Bell
KJDdesigns
Sugarbutt Artistic Designs
Dea's Designs
Digiscrap Angelhaze
Moore Blessings Digital Designs
Songbird Scraps
DigiJen Scraps  <-- You are here


And here's my part. I hope you enjoy it and are able to use these to add a bit to your holiday layouts. 




Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I'll see you back here next month!

DBTL: Personality Disorders

Even though I went to school and trained as a therapist/counselor, the experience of emotional struggles became much more personal when my daughter was diagnosed with a combination of OCD, ADD, anxiety and depression. That was nearly 10 years ago, and I'm still learning how best to help her, because her situation changes as time goes on, as her medicines become less effective, as she gets newer or stronger meds.

And still, those are all considered "minor" disorders. This month's Digi Blog Train List focuses on even more intense conditions that some people must deal with on a daily basis. I won't begin to say that these conditions can be cured, but with proper medication and counseling, they can be understood and people can know how to live with them. (And when I say "live with them," I also include those who interact with people with these disorders - for example, it would be extremely wise for single people to do some reading about narcissistic personality disorder so they'll recognize a narcissist when they meet one.)

You can get an overview of Personality Disorders here. You may recognize some traits listed here that appear in people you know.

As for the DBTL...we have 8 designers giving you 9 wonderful stops on this month's blog train.


And as usual, I've put together some word art to go along with this month's theme. Some of it is meant to be encouraging to others. Some of it is more suitable for doing layouts about personal struggles:
