For my projects today,
I decided to create a few SUPER SIMPLE stamped items

that can easily be added to ANY Thanksgiving table.

You could quickly stamp these little projects
to take with for your hostess if you are traveling...

or bring your stamps and make them when you arrive!

Basically just a FEW MINUTES to create each one...

I am on a tight decorating budget.. so

I needed to make a pretty but very INEXPENSIVE table setting.

I used mostly 'found' items from around my house.

The centerpiece consists of :

a few canning jars,

2 antique bottles,

branches from our crab apple tree,

some wild rice, dried beans,

a couple candles, one doily

and a wreath of berries I grabbed at the Good Will for $1.49.

The cloth napkins were found at Target ($5.58 for 4)

this table definitely has a 'country' feel to it..

I live in a big ol' farm house.. so it is JUST my style..

 Thanksgiving Menu

I printed out my menu on kraft cardstock,

stamped a border at the bottom,

distressed edges using Tim Holtz' blending tool,

mounted on teal cardstock,

punched holes with my crop-a-dile,

and tied on an orange ribbon

VERY EASY!

 Wine Glass Charms

These were charms that I already had.

I decided to add names to their glass instead of making place cards.

I simply stamped the little frame,

cut out with a scissors,

printed each guest's name in same font as menu and glued on

No more misplaced wine glass!

SUPER SIMPLE!

 On the Side...

On a buffet that I have in my dining room,
I like to create a station for beverages and snacks.

Of course I have to throw in a couple little decorations as well..

Thankful for You
Candle Holder

I used a tall glass cylinder...
dropped in some wine corks and a candle.

I stamped a border and distressed the edges on a piece of kraft cardstock,

then wrapped it around the cylinder.

I stamped the sentiment and decorated a little wooden tag

and tied it on with raffia.

 Give Thanks coasters

I purchased these coasters at Target ($1.48 for 10)

I stamped on the sentiment with brown ink.

THAT'S IT!

(even your KIDS can make these!)

There you have it!

My little Thanksgiving table...

SO easy and fun to put together!

All my projects were created
using the following stamps:
