A long awaited Autumn project

Elle loves fall time and LOVES looking at all of the changing colors on the trees.  Whenever we go for a walk, she insists that we stop and pick up any leaf on the ground that she thinks has beautiful colors.  Thus, we have been collecting leaves for about 2+ weeks now:). 

Tonight, we created a beautiful colored tree of our own (Britta was also involved in this work of art, but I just noticed is not in any of the pictures).  Many of the leaves from our collection were too dry and brittle to glue, but we still had a variety of large, brightly colored leaves to glue on the cardboard.  As you can see from the pictures, the leaves had PLENTY of glue on them to ensure they stayed stuck to the cardboard (but the glue is where all the fun is!!).
