Happy Turkey Day!

It was the first year in our new home so I decided to host Thanksgiving!! Yay!! All of this 5 days after our BIG & CRAZY FUN Housewarming Party. What was I thinking? I know.....I am a party girl who loves having friends and family over. Any excuse to make my Turkey Placecards, I was all over it!! If I had ONE big thing to be Thankful for, it was the weather. It was such a beautiful day! Since I didn't have enough space inside for a table of 10 I was forced to throw my guests outside. The set up turned out beautifully and after my crafty MS Turkey Placecards and oober Perty Kate Spade Napkins were on the table, there was hope after all. I love Martha Stewart's Living Magazine....so many colorful ideas...Of course, if you'd completely look past the green patio chairs, I would appreciate it. I doubt Martha would approve those:) .......And who knew that the dollar section at Target would supply my fun yet simple dinner and salad plates? I looooooove Target! Total Cost for this table set up $73.00! Whohoo! Overall, FABULOUS time with family!
We even busted out the marshmellows for some smoores at the end of the evening. Yumm!
These are the Rafia Wrapped Turkey Placecards for everyone. Lots of cutting, double side stickytaping and overall timeconsuming...... but adorable!

How do you reuse Halloween Pumpkins? Easy, just carve out a small circle and stick a tealight candle inside. Viola....instant table ambiance!




Even our pup Roxy had a GREAT Time!
