Thanksgiving Checklist: Placecards

Here at Project Good Life, we love Thanksgiving. But, we do not like Thanksgiving airport traffic. So, for the past five years, our tradition has been to celebrate Thanksgiving with our Urban Family (and also with some real family who join us). The Husband and I host Thanksgiving at our condo every other year, and the Urban Family hosts at their abode on the other years. We have a standard menu, but try to spice it up a bit with new things each year. Last year, we made these lovely placecards to decorate our table. The method is easy. Find small pumpkins at your local farmers' market or grocery store, slice a small line behind the stem, and insert a place card. Not having assigned seats? Have everyone write what they are thankful for on a placecard and mix them throughout your table. Have something special on your Thanksgiving Checklist to share with Good Life followers?
