THANKSgiving Tree

I believe everyone could stand to be a little more thankful in their lives. This year I decided I would ask our dinner guests to write down what they are thankful for and contribute to my THANKSgiving tree.

I used my Cricuit to shape the paper the thankful notes were written on like leaves instead of circles like in the inspiration photo. Then T.J. and I hunted down some branches and stuck them in an old canister. I went ahead and wrote out a few of the things I am most thankful for to get things started...
