For those of you who do things last minute for the holidays or just plain forget than you are in luck with a couple ideas I have for your Thanksgiving table this year. I just whipped these up with a little help from Better Homes and Garden magazine from October.
This one I did myself with no help, hopefully it is not that obvious..LOL. We went to a pumpkin patch last month and gathered up all kinds of pumpkins some of which we used for pumpkin carving for Halloween and the rest we strategically placed throughout the house.
So, what I did was
1. Grabbed one of the pumpkins that I already had
2. Put it on a decorative plate that is displayed in our house throughout the year
3. Used a vase that I already had and went outside in my very sparse backyard (we live in Colorado), grabbed some mulch and rocks, added a pinecone and nut mixture that I use for my Christmas decorations
4. A very large candle that I purchased at Walmart for $1.99 last month.
5. As the final touch I used some fake leaves that I purchased also at Walmart for $3.99.
I am kind of proud of myself for this because it cost me less than $7.00!
It's not the most fancy centerpiece I have ever seen, but it works!

PART 1:
Christmas is a time of giving, spending time with family and friends and lets face it eating alot! Christmas cards are a very important part of giving and receiving. This holiday season, instead of buying a box of Christmas cards to give your loved ones, why not make them yourself? Doing your own paper crafts is an excellent way to express your creativity and give your friends and family something that is truely from the heart. Enlist the help of your kids and enjoy spending time together as they express their own creativity doing their own paper crafts. You put love and thoughtfulness into each and every card especially when you add your photos. I have a few friends and family members who enjoy writing lengthy letters of what has gone on in their lives over the past year. Although I enjoy reading them, I would love it if they added their photos or their own design in some way. Paper crafts are so easy to do and embellishing them with Christmas themes make them even more fun. First, you'll want to come up with some ideas of what you'd like the Christmas cards to look like, trust me this is not hard at the end of this article I will include some very inspirational sites that I have found. Choose colors and themes, and then draw or write on a piece of paper what the card will say and look like.More on Make Your Own Christmas Cards

Halloween Craft Ideas
Imagine you had no concrete plans for your children this Halloween, but they are invited to a party at the last minute and don't have a costume planned. If this happens to you, don't panic! There are some things you can do fairly quickly to create a cool costume without spending too much time or money. First, remember that the mask makes the costume. You can print out masks online and color them in, then cut them out and attach them with string or a rubber band. Don't forget to cut out the eye and nose holes! Or, you can opt to make a mask out of a paper bag. The process is easy, and once the mask is decorated it can look really creative. Be sure you have a snug fit that won't fall off and it allows for plenty of room for vision and breathing. More on Quick Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

Kids of all ages enjoy doing Easter crafts. Working on a craft is an excellent way to have some fun, while adding a creative touch to the holiday season.
An easy and fun craft to make is a jelly bean carrot. For this craft you will need some orange jelly beans, a clear, disposable icing bag, Easter grass and a twist tie or rubber band. Fill the icing bag with the jelly beans. Make sure that you leave enough room at the top so that you can close the bag with the rubber band or twist tie. However, before you close the bag at the top, add some of the grass. Then, you will want to close the bag at the top. Make sure that you get the grass, so that it won't fall out. When you are finished, you can tie a small ribbon around the top of the carrot. You then have a decorative carrot that you can share with family and friends.More on Easy Easter Craft Ideas

I-L-O-V-E-M-O-M. How would you like to spell out your affection to your parents, siblings, relatives, and friends? Certainly, the standard ways of letting them know how much we care are through email and greeting cards will make their day, but it will draw a different form of happiness when your loved one receives a special piece made by you with their names on it.
This can be made possible using alphabet beads. You can come up with varying designs with alphabet beads and customize them to give a personal touch. Whether it's a necklace for your mother bearing her name or it's a bracelet for your dad. The different styles you can create along with other beads will not only spell out their names, it raises your expressiveness to the next level.More on Creating Unique Bead Jewelry Gifts with Alphabet Beads
