children familiar with great thoughts take as naturally to thinking for themselves as the well-nourished body takes to growing; and we must bear in mind that growth, physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, is the sole end of education." Charlotte Mason

leaves are changing
It is starting to feel like fall around here (if you excuse the 88 degree temps we had today). Maybe, I am just anxious for fall and so it feels like fall in spite of the heat and dry weather.
I found the template for these thumbprint trees at Style Unveiled. It is meant to be used for weddings but, well...I added a little text to the image to make it 'special' for the girls.
We've also made these trees from a tutorial by the always wonderful Amanda of Crafts by Amanda. We bought the bags (which are actually snack size not lunch size - lunch sized would have been nice), the moss, and the foam leaves all at Dollar Tree. You gotta love a three dollar craft with plenty of left-overs for the next round of crafts!!

Wonderful fall inspiration! I just took a mosey through your blog and it is delightful. Full of ideas and beautiful girls... I've been homeschooling Charlotte Mason style for about 14 years now and still have 4 to go~
