Willows

I like willows because they are a pretty red color. Moose like to eat them, but we like to create things with them. Jake has been helping his Aunt Karen remodel her house over the last couple weeks, so she has been donating materials to our craft supply. Among other things, she gave us two boxes of tiles that we can make quote tiles out of. Many people put quote stickers on tiles to put up around their house. We have a couple we got as wedding gifts, and I think they are a fun way to decorate. So with the tiles- we need tile stands... would we want to buy a hundred stands? NO WAY! so Jake came up with this....

He walked outside, found the closest willow bush, added a little string and.... 

...there you have it.
A tile stand.

Jake made this for his mom, and yes it is still sitting beside her TV in the living room! Maybe someday we'll replace the paper with a quote... and don't judge this too harshly-it was a rough draft. He made it within a matter of minutes...
