POPSThankfulness Tree This is the second year we have had a Thankfulness Tree. I have some fake branches that I put in a big vase to hold the leaves. I went to a scrapbooking store and used their die cut machine to make many many leaves from paper. If you buy the paper there, you can use the machines for free. I punched holes in the leaves to hang on the branches without having to mess with string or glue or hangers of any sort. I place the leaves in a bowl with a pen so any guests that come during November can write something they are thankful for on a leaf and hang it up. On Thanksgiving we read the leaves and we give thanks for all the friends and family that have come to our house. Then I put the leaves in a bag and date it so we can read them in future years too. Yesterday, my daughter wrote that she was thankful for "being born" and for "being in this family." I am so thankful for those things too. Go, get your thankfulness on!

POPSFarmers Arrested Planting Hemp on DEA Headquarters Lawn Hemp is not a drug and has no capacity to get someone stoned. Currently eight states -- Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia -- allow industrial hemp production or research, but federal law, which requires nearly-impossible-to-obtain-permits to grow hemp, trumps those state laws. A bill introduced by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) would allow states to craft their own policies. Some facts from North American Industrial Hemp Council: Hemp has been grown for at least the last 12,000 years for fiber (textiles and paper) and food. Hemp oil once greased machines. Most paints, resins, shellacs, and varnishes used to be made out of linseed (from flax) and hemp oils. Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on hemp oil The products that can be made from hemp number over 25,000.

POPSOrigami Tessellations - folded-paper art by Eric Gjerde I must send this to my father-in-law, who discovered a love of origami around the time {{spiritualmonkey}} and I got married. The monkey and I liked the idea of folding 1,000 cranes and using them as part of the decorations for the wedding & reception... but what with everything else there was to do to get ready, we got maybe to 100 and ran out of steam. One day, a month or so before the wedding, a box arrived in the mail from his folks. It was about a foot square and maybe six inches tall, and when we opened it up we found it was filled solid with origami cranes of all different colors and sizes, which his dad had folded for us. At the rehearsal dinner, Papa Monkey gave me an origami rhinoceros, which represented "the perfect family member: bad eyesight to not see faults, bad hearing to not hear gossip, a thick skin to let things bounce off, and a very, very big heart." I love my in-laws.
