It's getting crafty in the Freudenburg household.

During the wedding planning process, I became absolutely obsessed with crafting. What's funny is that I never knew I enjoyed crafts so much, at least as an adult. Growing up, my Mom always had us doing a craft of some sort, whether bird houses, ceramics or painting classes. When I started using Etsy for wedding decorations, I started wondering: Could I do that--for a fraction of the cost? In many cases, the answer was yes!

I'm hoping to use my new-found love for crafting to decorate our apartment and future home. While we were on our honeymoon in Montreal, I couldn't get over the beautiful Fall leaves and wanted to encapsulate them for us to remember. I picked up a few of the most beautiful leaves at Mont Royal and just finished this craft project:
