This year I have asked to host Thanksgiving and I am already thinking of how I can make the day really special. Here is one idea that I have come up with that is easy and very inexpensive to create: placemate full of things that I am thankful for.
I literally spent just a few minutes on this, but wanted to at least give you the idea. I printed the first layer of the placemat on a colored card stock 8.5 x 11 and then glued it to a rust paper in a larger size (in this case, it was 12 x 18). Each paper has a little bit of texture to it, and when set at each person's place setting, I think it will be a really pretty and meaningful addition to my table. I also may modified this and have the person's name on the placemat as well as why I am thankful for them. That would make the placemat even more personal and thoughtful...What do you think of this idea?
