It's nice and heavy and really, I don't use a phone book that often since it's just easier to use Google. I'm going to use some of my dried leaves to insert into a slit in placecards that I am making for Thanksgiving (from the Nov issue of Martha Stewart Living). I can't wait to see how they turn out. I'll post it on my blog when it's ready: http://blog.marthaandme.net. I have to say I love the smell of leaves. There's something so earthy yet sweet about the smell.

Marie -- thanks for your on-going ideas to keep the best parts of our lives busy, happy, inspired, challenged and smiling. I use so many of your ideas. Happy Autumn!
