Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday! I love that there is a holiday built around food. The first Thanksgiving was centered around having enough food to eat and being thankful for all that had been given. I am still thankful to have food to eat and I am also grateful for the many blessings that I have been given. I have two wonderful children and a fantastic husband. I am clothed, fed, and have a beautiful home in progress. I am loved on a regular basis and have good friends who love me as well. I complain often over "injustices" that I face in my life. I am grateful to have such petty injustices to remind me that I am blessed to live in a free country. I am grateful for all that I have and hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Table and Piano Scapes

I have very few decorations for Thanksgiving, so I got creative this year. Michaels was having all their fall decorations for 66% off. I got all of this stuff for like $20. Totally worth it for me. The stand I made from the $1 store and some gorilla glue. The green plate I saw and loved, but the bowl was hideous, with garish, ugly leaves. A little spray paint later it was Krylon glossy Ivory and beautiful. I inverted the bowl and gorilla glued the plate on top. Instant cake or decorative plate. I think it works for this. My mom gave me the pilgrim candle holders on the piano. I messed around with that one FOREVER! I think I can finally handle how it turned out. So, that is it. I think they turned out great!
