I love how it turned out this year! We actually used a picture from Clyde's pet blessing. My sweet kitty Lola only made it on the "love" portion, but she wouldn't have been quite as willing as Clyde to have her picture taken.
We used Snapfish and I can't wait for them to arrive.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I am starting to "tablescape" for Thanksgiving. I will have ten people at my house and I am so excited to finally have my "grown up" party.
I picked up ten of these beauties and will use them with ivory napkins and off-white dinner place settings. I plan to make some really neat place mats that I saw in Real Simple this month. Should be a fun project that I will share later!
I found this etsy shop where she so wonderfully custom made me 5 gold tree place cards and...
5 gold leaf place cards. They came out beautifully. I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect, or easy!
I also started my centerpieces. These are very non-traditional. But, I plated these sweet red and orange flowers. They look like the picture below when blooming nicely. I plan to tie a pretty ribbon on the pots, maybe even a fun stencil and have each guest (or pair) take one home!
I feel like I am off to a good start but I still need to work on some type of place mat and/or table runner. I am open to any fun ideas from you crafty ladies!
I don't know if you all know about The Graphic's Fairy, but you MUST pay her site a visit as soon as possible. I found some great (and free!) art off her printable website that I will be using around the house!
I found this print from Endless Crafting. I love how simple it is, yet such a great reminder. It sits on a little table in our bedroom.
This print is from the Graphic's Fairy. I love how it gives a pop of color on this darker shelf.
I recently invested in some shelving...finally! I have been waiting to find the perfect shelving for beside our red china cabinet. I found these at Ballard and got four, two, two foot shelves, and two, three foot shelves. I will put one of each on both sides. I seriously can't wait to start decorating. And, a lot of my prints are going to be free from The Graphic's Fairy! She is AWESOME I tell you! 
Do you love finding new places to display fun items? What are some of your favorite pieces?
I think I heard those words about 10 times over the weekend. The hubs and I traveled to Nashville to visit my brother who is in his senior year at Vanderbilt University. The Gators were playing Vandy, so it was a perfect excuse to visit!
It was so nice to go to dinner and visit with him and his girlfriend. We had never met her and she was such a sweetheart. They are definitely GREAT hosts!
Danny even got to visit Dave Ramsey's office which just about made his trip. It's the little things, right?
We had so much fun, but the highlight of the weekend was the Dueling Piano Bar on Saturday night. I know just where we will have to go when we are in town for my friend's Bachelorette party in January!
