So with Canada Day coming up July 1st, I wanted to make my home a little more patriotic and festive. I decided to make a wreath and a simple centerpiece with materials from the Dollar Tree (not sponsored) to add a little red and white to my life. I also wanted to share the fact that last year our area broke a Guinness Book of World Records for the largest human maple leaf! Almost 4,000 local residents gathered to perform this feat! Here is a clip to check out (can you spot me and my family lol?):
