Here's how it works—whenever your spirit is droopy, pick one of the leaves and read the gift of words on it. It will brighten your day and possibly make you cry (happy tears).
Here's my beautiful tree on my favorite shelf.
You can't see from the picture what's written on the leaves. Here are a couple of examples from my tree —"I love you more than Ben & Jerry's" – "Motherhood suits you" – "You were born to sing."
My tree makes me smile. Thanks, seester!
And lookout my blogging friends. You just might be getting your own giving tree.
Oh my gosh! I love it. How cool. Your sister is so cool! =)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a wonderful gift! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful gift and you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought of that picture book. :-) I love this, Shari. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love this idea. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteJill is the coolest sister ever. You are so blessed to have her!
ReplyDeleteOh I need a tree like that. What an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I love it. I may have to do something like that for my own sister. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!! I want to make one for my sister now (her bday is just next month!).
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is the coolest thing EVER. What an incredible gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea!
ReplyDeleteOnce, a friend told me to keep an "inspiration" drawer/file/whatever. She said to put all the little things you get, love notes, cards from friends or thank you notes people have given you where they've told you something sweet and wonderful about yourself, awards ... whatever.
Then, when you're down, you can open up your drawer (mine's a hanging file) and go through some of the things ~ instant pick-me-up.
But love notes from a sister, like that ~ well, that's extra special. There's something wonderful about the words of a sister.

Oh wow! How cute. I love the idea.
ReplyDeleteHello, Shari! That's a wonderful idea! A great way for FHE topics, too!! Or a way to get the kids to stop fighting by standing in front of the giving tree, reading the good thoughts to each other. I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteShari! You have an award for you!
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with that idea. I've been focusing this year on uplifting people, and I can think of few ways as sweet as that. How lovely to be so loved!
