Awesome! My Thanksgiving cards are done and have been mailed. I won't make any decorations but I'll definately be working on Christmas projects during the long week-end.

I made little pouches for candy to put on each plate. They have a litte tag, a stamped sentiment and a glittered pumpkin. The pouch is stamped with brown trees and it is filled with candy corn. I hope everyone likes it.

These look great. In the Netherlands we don't do Thanksgiving. But they will also be great for Christmas.
