I am super excited for the making season this year and I have so many things to be thankful for! Here are some Thanksgiving quotes I have gathered up to use in my art journal pages this year!
Why I NEED Thanksgiving Quotes
Okay, no one NEEDS Thanksgiving quotes, but I love having a little stash of quotes that I can use in my art journals!
Mostly I do magazine collage and this how I use words in my pages…
Because I like them to be a graphic element, I tend to favor short quotes rather than longer ones, but if you like to have lots of small writing around your page, a longer Thanksgiving quote might just do the trick!
