Thirty Days of Thanks # 16

Table Leaves
Get outside on a fall afternoon and collect leaves!
Fresh air just makes the day better and leave hunting, maybe even leave-crunching under your feet is what fall outside is all about.
Grab a bag or a basket and set out to find choice leaves to later be painted with Thanksgiving guest names (you can do this whether you are hosting or being hosted!). The leaves I have are Magnolia, nice and sturdy for art purposes. Once you have your leaves you’ll need any kind of craft paint you can get your hands on, acrylic was the choice here. Paint on or have your kids paint on first names or even nick names for friends and family. You will have a blast painting names and find that you really have a bounty of love in your life. Not to mention, the leaves will look lovely, casually scattered around a Thanksgiving table.
