Give Me A Reason

Last night I was asked by a friend if I had any hand crafted items he could take pictures of for a class project. When I thought about it, I realized I haven't made anything crafty in a while, but I've definitely had some ideas stored somewhere in the back of my mind. So, I told him I would try to whip something up today and see if he would like to use it.

I had mentioned that I "graffiti'd" some heart shaped leaves with memories I share with my parents and framed them as gifts, but that was a year ago. I've collected the same heart shaped leaves that sit in my closet waiting to be loved. And now someone else's class project has given me reason to create something.

I've had this idea of making a tree using those leaves as some metaphor for the memories and people I cherish in my life. I've also stocked up on empty toilet paper rolls to use as the trunk and roots of the tree.

I never wrote or drew my plan of making this tree, but I'm excited to start putting things together without one. Can't wait to see where this will take me...
