Amazingly done Anne-Lise! I am so impressed with your artful poetic skill, the messages in each leaf reminded me of my mother's panic on almost each one, especially the mirror breaking. Walking under a ladder in astore as a child, she actually pretty well shrieked, (happily not too loudly), and made us walk back under it backwards, she said maybe that would help. I figured the bad luck may be if a can of paint would fall on our heads?!! Anyway, this was so much fun. Great job! <3

How come all these superstitions are common in every culture? People must be thinking alike.
