13 Thanksgiving Crafts and Decoration Ideas

Turkey Day Ideas - crafts and decor projects for Thanksgiving

Yes, I know Halloween is right around the corner and I haven’t even finished my son’s Minecraft Spider costume, but my mind is skipping over to Thanksgiving already and I’m planning out our Thanksgiving meal. In addition to planning out the meal, I also want to include a few handmade crafts and decor ideas to the table and home to create a festive time for everyone! I’m already eyeing those rice krispy treat corns and our pinecone turkeys for the kiddy table dessert.

Turkey Napkin Rings - the perfect adornment to your holiday table

A few years ago we also had great response to our turkey napkin rings as well. They aren’t just for the kiddy table either! The adults enjoyed them as well.

We’re also going to help set up a fun Thanksgiving meal for my son’s school so we’ll be using a few of these crafts as things the kids can do after their party. Keeping things simple and creative will make them even more excited about what we have in store. Plus their parents will have a cute momento from that year’s holiday.

Fall Harvest Table Centerpieces

It is Thanksgiving weekend and in just a few days we’ll be sitting around the table at my brother-in-laws house enjoying a wonderful meal with family. But that doesn’t mean I don’t create fall harvest table centerpieces at home as well.

I love creating a festive feel in the home and enjoy coming up with fun ideas to share the holidays with my family. I always look to the table centerpiece and mantel as my creative outlet to explore fun ideas during the change in seasons.  [Read more…]

Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

One of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving, besides the giving thanks and being with friends and family, are the leftovers. The delicious, tasty, easy to heat up and eat whenever you please leftovers. I love Thanksgiving leftovers so much that when I started writing up this post I realized that I had no Thanksgiving leftover recipes of my own. Because I just eat the leftovers as is! Or in a huge, Dagwood style sandwich.

So I reached out and asked my blogging friends what they do with leftovers. And I’m so glad I did. Some of these dishes may sound a little weird, and others sound absolutely amazing. But they all have one thing in common. They’re delicious! [Read more…]

12 Totally Terrific Thanksgiving Recipes

12 Totally Terrific Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and in this house that only means one thing… trying out Thanksgiving recipes!

Our family Thanksgiving dinners are great in that everyone pitches in and makes a dish or two to bring. That way no one has the burden of the whole Thanksgiving meal.

Most of the time my brother in law or father in law prepares the turkey (depending on who is hosting), I make a few sides, my mother in law brings the rolls and salad and each of us brings a variety of desserts.

So this year I figured I’d round up a few dishes that are sure to be perfect for your thanksgiving meal. And if you aren’t preparing the whole meal yourself you can pick and choose what recipes you want to try out this year! [Read more…]
