Thanksgiving DecorOnce you get the invitations out and the menu confirmed, the next step to a stress free holiday is getting your decor in order. Whether you stick to tradition and rescue the same decorations from storage every year, or change things up a bit and go with the latest fall trends, it is always a good idea to start early and get organized. Think about every room, table and doorstep that you want to adorn with Thanksgiving cheer. After you take note of what you would like to go where, you can decide if there is anything missing. Don’t forget the heartfelt feeling that comes with hand-made decorations. As one of my much loved hobbies, I would like to share some great do-it-yourself crafts that will put you in the giving spirit. Two of my favorite websites, iVillage.com and Parents.com, have put together some easy and simple projects that will bring a seasonal feel to your home this year. If you plan to indulge in one of the great craft ideas provided by iVillage or Parents.com, make sure to have the necessary organization and storage items for before and after the project. You are bound to need craft organizers to keep your paper, pens, scissors, wire, glue, etc. in one convenient place. If you feel inspired to give one of the homemade wreaths a shot, a wreath holder and storage bag will come in handy. Or if you plan on personalizing your dinner table by making your own centerpiece using a vase or glass hurricane, be sure to try and find matching accents for the napkins and place cards. Happy Organizing! - Mrs. O
