Giving Thanks

Celebrate Thanksgiving and remember all the things you're thankful for by making a Thanksgiving Tree! It's also a great way to bring fall indoors and decorate your dorm or appartment for the season. It's fun to make, especially while sipping on a yummy Pumpkin Spice Latte.

1. Get a branch from outside that will fit in a vase or glass. (We used a glass milk bottle.)
2. Cut out Maple leaves from red, yellow, and orange construction paper. (Or you can buy autumn leaves from A.C. Moore for $5.50)
3. Hole punch each leaf and tie a string (preferably brown string) through it to make it an ornament.
4. Write one thing you are thankful for on each leaf. (Skip to my Lou suggests writing one nice thing you've done on the back of the leaf.)
5. Hang the leaves on the branch and voila!
