I enjoy bringing touches of fall into our home with funky gourds, bright orange pumpkins, and potted mums, but I don’t have any seasonal decor that specifically relates to Thanksgiving. Turkeys and cornucopias aren’t really my thing, so I decided to string up a few words that will remind our family to be thankful during the weeks leading up to the holiday.
Last night I cut the letters out of kraft paper, and then this morning before work I punched two holes in each letter and strung them up with some monofilament fishing line. I hung them from two suction cup hooks and called the project complete. Thanks to Sally of Shim&Sons for the project inspiration!
This morning I’m thankful for sunshine, oats, and Gladware/Ziploc containers (even though I feel like I wash a million of them every day). What are you giving thanks for today?
Hi! I'm Rachel, and I'm so glad you're here. I make creative projects and intentional choices to create a life I love -- and I hope to inspire you to do the same! 
I think I have the same Pier 1 cake plate…it’s a bear to store! I like how you’ve tilted it to show off the pretty piecrust edging.
Cathy M: You’re right — the cake stand is from Pier 1. The only reason I tilted it is because it won’t fit in the cabinet otherwise! Ha!
What am I thankful for today? I am thankful for your Rolo pecan treat idea. 🙂 I needed a quick treat for a bunch of school employees…before lunch time today. They were quick and easy and yummy.
Mom
Mom: I’m glad you had an excuse to make them. Now that I found that recipe, I keep Rolos on hand so I can make them anytime…
Cute! I’m thankful for the long weekend ahead. It’s hard to believe it’s almost Thanksgiving!
