It seems I’m always a day (or week, or month…) late these days, but I finally finished my leaf calendar for my mantel. It all started with a handful of leaves I picked up while walking with Shannon one morning last week. I picked up a few more at church yesterday. Yes, it works best if you dry and press them for a few days…. but patience isn’t one of my virtues. I think the leaves are quite charming with a little curl, don’t you? (Please say yes.)I used my large corkboard (which is covered with black paper, but one could easily paint the surface as well), added 30 craft tags (I’m glad November has only 30 days) and leaves with silver push pins, and wrote 1-30 on the leaves with a large black pen. Each day we’ll be writing on a tag (with a smaller black pen) something for which we are thankful. This morning we got to think up 9 things…
