Fall Birthday Table for our son, Part 1

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Hope your Thanksgiving Preparations 

are well underway at your house.

They are still underway over here!  

Today will be cleaning, setting the

table, and tonight making the stuffing

mix.  At least that is my plan, Lord

willing!!  I at least feel like I might

just make it now.........since I have

gotten caught up almost.  Course, it

 is amazing the last minute things that

 can crop up.  lol  Am sure praying 

there want be many of those.  lol

Todays pictures are from weekend

before last,  when we finally got to

celebrate my son's birthday.  Since

 I was not feeling too well, some paper

goods I had bought back in October at

 the Christmas Tree store came to mind,

so thought they would be good for a guy

 table and also made for easier clean up.

  I like to share these once in awhile, just

 to show that you can have a pretty table

even using paper goods.

The cost was only $3.00 for plates and

 napkins, and hopefully that should be

 affordable to most everyone, and most
importantly we all had a great time.

First of all I made a cake stand by using a

 juice glass that went with my other brown

 drinking glasses, then tucked a few small

 napkins that matched the other paper goods 

into the glass and turned it upside down,

then added the gold salad plate on top,

and added some brown shredded paper

(it comes in bags in the gift wrap area)

to sort of make a nest, then added the

pretty lil rusty orange pumpkin.

A look down the table.... Stuck an extra

 napkin inside each glass just cause

 I liked how it looked.

 with paint daubs affect

It is hard to see, but there is a row of pumpkins

 on the plates toward the top.

With Difference clouds affect

Accidentally found this new affect

and thought it interesting!!  lol

Leaves compliments of Asheville again!  lol

Since the leaves also compliment the plates.

 With Posterized Affect

Since I already had these chocolate Brown

 ribbons cut from another table I did a few

 years back, where I tied the napkins with

 them, decided to use them to tie the 

silverware together this time.

With Cutout Affect

Even tho I use paper goods I tend to 

always use regular silverware and 

glasses, just cause I think it looks

 a bit more classy................and

you don't have to worrry about

anything breaking or leaking!

This was at the other end of the table

 since no one was sitting there, just
added a few decorative pieces.

An overview..........I also used some pretty

 leaf candle cups and the lil leaf medallions, 

in the centerpiece. I will tell you about them

 in Part 2, (cause I had lots of pics, but also

have used lots of affects for fun too)

.......which will be coming up soon.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks so much for coming by to visit

and ................

I want to take this opportunity to say, 

"that I hope you have a wonderful time 

with Family and/or Friends around the

 table counting your blessings.

  I count each of you, who follow/read

 my blog, and also the bloggers of the

 ones I read, as a friend and blessing.

Each of you have enriched my life in

so many different ways.........and I 

thank the Lord for each of you!"

So keep your light shining brightly!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Love and  Hugs,

Nellie
