New Tradition

I got the idea from my cousin Karina. 

It's a Thanksgiving tree! 

Not to be confused with the Christmas Tree, this tree is more of a reflection of fall leaves that dominate this season, before the snow sets in.  It's thankful because the leaves you add all have something you are grateful for written on them.  Because I'm ghetto fabulous like that, my leaves are green sticky notes. (It makes it easier so I will actually DO this project.)

My goal is to put up 5 things I'm grateful for every day.  It's here in our hall that I pass every day so I won't forget.

Already I have 11 leaves up!  I'm encouraging Dale to put up 2 a day, but he says that what he's most grateful for are all parts of my body, and may not be appropriate to write on public display.  I tell him I like the fact that people know he's a fan of those parts!

I'll re-post at the end of this month.  I think it's a festive, and yet apt way to acknowledge this part of the holiday season.  Especially since our little decoration grows in size the closer we get to celebrating the holiday.  I hope it takes over the wall!
