Hi everyone!
We are really getting down to the wire now for that big Thanksgiving feast! If you’re feeling a little panicked, don’t. You’ve still got plenty of time to get everything in order. In fact, I'll bet you even have time to personalize your holiday table. Here are three easy DIY projects that add up to create one terrific table. Do one, or do them all.

I chose to make "thankful" place mats for my table, but you could also do a table runner if the turkeys aren't your style.

From my home to yours,
