Thank You Pinterest!!

So, last week we had a very light dusting of snow. The problem was that it was a really wet snow and some of the tree branches got pretty heavy. We lost a branch in the backyard and it came in handy today!!

I got the idea off of Pinterest to do a Thankful Tree, and since today is the first of November I decided today was the day to put it together. Before Kenny headed into work this morning he picked some smaller branches off of our fallen branch. I stuck them in a vase with some rocks I already had...so far this project has cost me nothing!!

I found some paper in my scrapbooking supplies and cut them into 2 x 2.5 in rectangles.

I rounded off the corners with a paper punch, punched a hole and tied on some ribbon.

{I had to purchase the ribbon at Walmart - it only cost $.47!!!}

I had some help with the stamps...he threatened me not to put this picture on Facebook!! {Little does he know I have this blog too!!}

These will hang on the branches after we write what we are thankful for.

The kids loved writing on them tonight! {We helped Brayden with the writing.}

Here's the final product {and it only cost me $.47!!}

The picture isn't great with the shadows of the branches, but you get the idea.

We are looking forward to working with the kids this month on talking about and remembering what we are thankful for!
