@pennyrae@dmrams of course!! i'm sure it was not original to me anyway!! and usually i get a fallen big branch out of the yard for this with our family. instead of tags, i've also used paper leaves. when thanksgiving is over, i take one ribbon and string them all together to keep. they are sweet mementos of what everyone is thankful for each year!
This is really sweet Brett :) When we had our ceremony 4 years ago, instead of a guest book, we had a "wish tree;" each guest could write a personal note and tie it to the vase of willow branches we had. It's such a great piece and stands proudly in our living room. I LOVE the idea of a thankful tree.
