Thanksgiving Tablescape with DIY Wooden Box

Tablescapes are my favorite! I love setting the table for family and friends to help make an occasion extra special. To me, decorating the dinner table brings family and friends together and traditions are formed.

As I was thinking of what kind of look I wanted for my Thanksgicing tablescape, I decided I wanted a long wooden box with fall florals to run down the length of the dining room table. I found some online, but there were super pricey. So I asked my husband to make one for me. He already had leftover wood in the garage from past projects, so we didn’t have to buy anything! We measured how long I wanted it, and then he started cutting and assembling the box. You an see a short tutorial video at the end of this post.

Hosting a Christmas Dinner Party

Tonight was a special night! I had the wonderful opportunity to speak and host dinner at my home for forty women from my church. It made me so happy to see so many beautiful faces. Our theme for the night was "We are like Snowflakes, Different in our own Beautiful Way." It's good to remind ourselves how beautiful, special and unique we each are
