THANKFUL TREES 
 This tree print is an original sketch printed on 24 X 36 inch white paper.   With the season of gratitude upon us, it presents a fitting way to gather and display all of the things your family is grateful for throughout the autumn season!

Our family sat down to list everything we could think of that makes us feel grateful, and within 30 minutes we had written over 500 things!  From jam to junipers, Tesla to toothpaste...and everything in between...we had a wonderful experience remembering our blessings.


This makes a great family night activity, or just an exercise to help you recall everything that fosters gratitude and joy in your life.


It is suitable for framing or just taping on the back door or pinning up on your bulletin board.  You can write the words in autumn colors, paint the leaves, or choose a monochromatic color scheme.  Here are some examples from our family's tree...we will have it on display at the bake sale on Monday.

"HAVE JOY" Wordy Bird featured necklace

"Have Joy" is Good Bird's motto for this year...because we have this stubborn belief that we are ALL intended to find and have joy in life!  It's why we're here.  And when we help others, we not only HAVE JOY...we GIVE joy as well. This necklace is a reminder of the fact...that we are happy when we serve and support others.  This necklace was created specifically for our "Have Joy" theme, and if you pre-order the necklace or order it during our bake sale, the cost for our "Have Joy" necklace is just $5 (ordinarily $7).
   Each necklace comes with an 18" nickel ball chain, small round "have joy" plate, and pearl bead.  A simple necklace, a quiet idea, and a difference made in the lives of many people through your donation.  We will have a specific number of these necklaces ready for purchase at the bake sale, or you can pre-order one for pick-up at the bake sale.  If you will wish to order one to be shipped to you, we can do that too! 

HAVE JOY, Good Birds!
