The Thankful Tree

I was inspired by a version of this tree in one of my many cooking/home magazines.  All you need is some fallen branches, a bucket or pail, and some hanging tags.  I added in clearance branches from Michael's Fall floral department.  The kids have really enjoyed writing their "I am thankful for...." tags.  It is such a great reminder of the reason for this season.
