A Month of Thanks, Day 5, and Thanksgiving Day Decor Ideas

Day 5: 

I'm thankful for my friends. I've discovered that it's really hard to find a true friend, but I'm thankful for the ones that I have! They are a blessing. I hope I can be a true friend in return!

Thanksgiving Decor 

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. (I don't think it's just because I love to eat....) I love all the planning, cooking, wonderful smells, time spent with family and/or friends, and the memories made!

Speaking of planning; while you're doing that, you might need some simple, frugal ideas for decorating for that special meal! Here are some that I came across and really, really like. :)

Glass candle holders with a tea light nestled atop some

 acorns or buckeyes give a pretty, simple touch to a Thanksgiving table. 

                                                       

                                         

   Paper leaves on pumpkins. The kids could help with this one!

Repurpose candle holders to display pumpkins and gourds.

I love this. Denise in Bloom shares instructions for how to make a thrifty fall topiary! 

I don't have a photo of this to share, but I really like the idea of framing Bible verses about giving thanks, or lists of things to be thankful for.
