Mother nature is a clever girl. Just take a little stroll outside in a garden, park, or right in your own backyard and you’ll see why. With a multitude of colors, textures, sights and smells ranging from dynamic to dainty, there’s always that temptation to take and possess it for our own personal pleasure. Well, today’s DIY project allows us to leave “Mom” alone, yet set a little of her beauty in stone by taking an impression of one (or several) of her glorious leaves. How clever!
