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!
Thanksgiving Craft Idea For Your Thanksgiving Table

I love the colors of Fall, deep rich warm colors that just beckon you to curl up with some cocoa and watch the leaves change. I also love fresh craft ideas that come from the autumn flavored ghourds.
Here is a really neat idea for working with fresh gourds; string them up as garland and hang them wherever. Gourds last a really long time so it will definately get you through the Thanksgiving holiday.
To make one:
You will need miniature gourds, a drill with a fine bit, and twine. Drill a hole through the center of each gourd. Thread twine through an embroidery needle; run it through the holes, knotting it at both sides of each gourd to secure in place. We left 6 inches between gourds. Hang garland from tacks or nails, indoors or outside.

We all get a little nervous when Summer is over and the kids go back to school and we know that the holidays are fast approaching. It is always a good idea to have some things squared away in advance so that we can prevent the holiday's from becoming overwhelming.
There are so many things that are important during this time but one thing that is very important especially if we are entertaining for Thanksgiving is what our table looks like. We want it to be inviting and creative and memorable for whoever is coming to the table. This is a great solution for our Thanksgiving table setting. This table setting includes using gourds, pumpkins and seasonal flowers to decorate your Thanksgiving table. Enjoy!
