NEW TUTORIAL for an easy paper fall leaf garland i NEW TUTORIAL for an easy paper fall leaf garland is on the blog! I recently hosted the lovely middle school and high school girls from my church for a lunch devo, and we crafted this together for a beloved friend. 
Go ahead and make one for your Thanksgiving decor! It’s easy. All you need is construction paper, colored pencils, scissors, twine, and a hole punch. Detailed instructions are on my blog, including templates for the leaves to make it even easier.

My Lady Dancing is done! BOOM. 2nd day of November My Lady Dancing is done! BOOM. 2nd day of November. I’m slaying the TDITM challenge deadlines lately, y'all! Extra leftover Halloween chocolate for me! Just one more pattern left to go in this 2025 challenge! And no hurry, you have the rest of November to turn your Lady Dancing in. Since hashtags are basically useless now just tag me @mmmcrafts. Love to see.

If you missed this year’s challenge, no worries, Lord willing I have another one coming January 26! My youngest daughter needs her own set too.
PS It’s not too late to begin your set this year! Sew a few if you need some cozy hand sewn craft therapy! Each ornament takes two to three crafternoons to complete.
