Gratitude

What can a couple pieces of wood, a few manila tags make, a pot, some twigs and some spray paint make????

A gratitude tree of course!

For those of you who know me, you know that I am not that "creative".  But, I like to do creative things.  I got this idea from another blog, Joys of Home, and wanted to give it a try.  

Of course, I deviated from the original to make it "mine", but I am happy with the way it turned out.  The entire projection from beginning to end took relatively little time and cost less then $35 (with plenty of extra supplies to make even more!)  Regardless, I had a lot of fun making it.  

Just in case you are wondering, the concept is to fill out these little manila tags with things for which we are grateful.  So, since we have so many things for which to be thankful, by the end of the month, the tree will hopefully be filled with tags.  However, since I chose to NOT make it "Thanksgivingish" we could just leave it up all year.  We'll see.
