Greetings everyone. \u00a0I am so happy \u00a0to be writing this post from the comforts of my parents’ great room. \u00a0I flew down this morning to spend a few days with them and am excited to do some fun activities with my mom. \u00a0If you are looking for an idea for your Thanksgiving table this year, then we have one for you in the form of my thankful table cloth. \u00a0For those of you who are long-time readers, we’re sorry you have to see this again, but when we discussed which post from November, 2013 we wanted to revisit, this one was a no-brainer. It happens to be in the top five for being one of our most “pinned” posts ever, and our new readers haven’t seen it before. \u00a0We are cringing because our photography skills have thankfully improved since we took these shots, but since I am here, and the table cloth is in Syracuse, we can’t take new photos for tomorrow. \u00a0So, here is our revisited post in its original form with a very good idea.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is a relaxed evening, and I wanted to have a casual table. Plus, I wanted to start our own Thanksgiving tradition with a thankful table cloth<\/em> that can be used year after year. First, I bought a drop cloth and washed and dried it to make it ready.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 Then I ironed it, though I will need to do it again before it is used.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I used our dining room table as my craft table since it is so big. \u00a0I stretched the drop cloth onto the table and found the center.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Since this will be our thankful table cloth, I decided to stencil “Give Thanks.” \u00a0I had some stencils on hand from other projects and just used them. \u00a0I bought brown fabric paint at a craft store.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I left some space in the center so I could add a center piece. \u00a0Right now I’m using \u00a0a pitcher filled with wheat.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Next up will be the fun part. \u00a0I purchased some Sharpie permanent \u00a0markers. \u00a0Each year we will bring out this table cloth and whoever is visiting our house for Thanksgiving will sign, date and write what they are thankful for that year.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Right now I have so much to be thankful for, but I am going to wait and write it down when everyone is at our house. \u00a0I am excited about this new Thanksgiving tradition. \u00a0It will be fun to pull out this table cloth that will become part of our family history for years to come.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Do you have an special Thanksgiving traditions?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
