Get ready for the Holidays!

Whether you are ready or not, the holidays are coming!   In previous posts, I encouraged you to get that calendar out and plan, pick out your holiday photo for your cards if you do that, and start planning your menus so you can stock up on the non-perishables to take away stress!   I even provided a great Christmas cookie recipe you can do ahead when the mood strikes you!   Get those ingredients on hand so you can do it when you "feel" like it!


So, if you are having Thanksgiving dinner at your house, you can start creating some simple centerpieces and really getting your house ready for the season!

I love focusing on what we are thankful for and incorporating that into the decor!  Get family and friends to write on tags made out of brown paper bags or construction paper,  punch one hole and string a festive ribbon through each tag.  Have each person write something they are thankful for and have them tie it onto your Decorative Card Holder that you have in the kitchen, or tie them onto the base of a glass hurricane as a collar of THANKS!  You can start making your tags now ( better yet, get the kids to work on this project) and part of your decor will be done!

Trace a leaf from the yard for your tag template or download a free tag template from the internet!  Just google "leaf template"   EASY!
