Watercolor Maple Leaf (Free Printable)

“What if today, we were grateful for everything?”

– Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is such a wise boy! I think we should all take a leaf out of his book (pun intended). But I’m being honest too. How simpler everything might be if we were grateful for everything.

With this in mind, I created a watercolor maple leaf for you!

If you follow along on Instagram then you maybe saw this photo.

I’m currently inspired by the beautiful leaves gracefully falling on our streets here in Scituate. Max and Poppy love to run through them and it’s very funny because some areas are so deep that Max almost drowns in them.

I got my watercolors out and painted the leaves I was inspired by.

When you look at the world with a grateful heart, you begin to see all the beauty in the world that maybe you didn’t notice before or didn’t have time to notice. Having a puppy and young boys makes me look at this world with grateful eyes and a grateful heart. They are always noticing small wonders in our yard or on nature walks or at the beach.

This leaf was so beautiful; the reds and tiny bits of yellow so vibrant.

I decided to use this on our Thanksgiving table this year as place cards; as a reminder of what is special in each of us.

I used Photoshop to add our names.

I thought you might like it for your own table too.

I created a blank one and also ones with words I’m reminded of at this time of year. I printed our’s on white cardstock and used a paper cutter.
