Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!  Here we go marching into Christmas...sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  Anyone else out there have something to post?  It would be welcome!!!  Here is a Thanksgiving board created by Elizabeth K.  She used old stuff we've had on hand from past years and it worked out well...the flag was ordered from Christian Book Distributors. 

Thanksgiving Blessings

This board is nice because you can change the window scenery, verse, and a few extras and create a Christmas board. With Thanksgiving and Christmas being so close together this can help save time and money - two things in high demand between the end of November and December. :)

Background: Plastic Tablecloth

Border: Store bought scalloped edging

Lettering: Colored Paper - done by Cricut w/Design Studio (that's how the letters for each word are connected to each other)

Scripture: Colored paper / Typed out

Picture Frame: Construction paper & Ribbon matching curtain tie backs

Window Frames: Thick card stock

Scenic view: Chalked Free-hand (Chalk does come off - afterwards we thought to put clear plastic wrap over the picture - then it might give it a look of glass too -- just a thought) (You could find something with a scenery already on it - like fabric, wrapping paper, a poster, etc.. and use that instead ... just be sure to make your frame the appropriate size)

Curtains: Lacy-looking plastic tablecloth cut in 4 equal rectangular shapes and tied back with ribbon (Top of "curtain" tucked behind window frame and stapled)

Tablecloth: Round plastic tablecloth cut on one edge then tucked down behind table and stapled from underneath.

Table: Brown crafting paper - cut out free hand

Fruit and Candlesticks: Cricut cut-outs. (stencils, die-cuts, or clipart are other options)
