In Everything Give Thanks!

I have had lots of fun preparing for Thanksgiving this year. Thanks to some fun printables, I was able to make most of our decorations.

 

I made a "Give Thanks" jar and printed out slips of paper that say things like "I love . . . ", or ".... makes me smile." or "Thanksgiving is great because . . . ." We have each been writing something down at dinner at night and putting them in the jar. We will read them on Thanksgiving!

You can find the printable for this here: A Jar Full of Gratitude

I absolutely loved this set of printables and made several things using it.

This set can be found here: Dimple Prints Thanksgiving Printables

I simply printed the "Happy Turkey Day" sign and put it in a $3 frame from Walmart!

Next, using the round cupcake toppers, I made tags for "Indian corn" treat bags!

I simply filled a small treat bag with Reese's Pieces, added raffia in the top to look

like the end of the corn husk, then tied on the label with jute!

I also printed the treat sign about 1/16th smaller and tied it to the basket!

 



 

I put some fall puzzles in the bottom of the table for some after dinner fun

on Thanksgiving Day!

I used a dark brown tablecloth for the table setting and napkins with
Thanksgiving Scripture on
them for a finishing touch!




I printed out the "Happy Thanksgving" banners at half the size and hung them with jute across my large windows!

 

 

I also printed out the Kids Table sign and framed it in an old frame that I had in storage!

The kids made the pumpkins at Patch Club at church. They are so cute, and so easy!

They are made with a roll of toilet paper, a square of fall fabric,

brown paper bag, leaves, and pipe cleaner!

The instructions for these can be found here: Easy Pumpkin Project

 

Next to each child's plate is a checklist for what they ate for Thanksgiving dinner.

The printable for this can be found here: Thanksgiving Celebration printables

I printed out water bottle wrappers and glued them to water bottles!

I printed some from the same set as above and also some from this set:

Amanda's Parties To Go

This is a great blog with lots of fun party ideas!!

 



 

I also printed out these cute Mayflower treat holders! (This was also from the Amanda set.)

Instead of using treat cups, I baked pumpkin muffins using a can of Libby's pumpkin pie and

a vanilla cake mix. Simply mix the two together, fill muffin cups,

and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes!

Delicious!!

 

Now I just hope everyone enjoys the day as much as I enjoyed planning and putting it all together!
