Traditionally we go around the Thankgiving table asking each person to say what they are thankful for. This year we are going to change things up a little and use this Give Thanks jar. During appetizers everyone will take a moment to write what they are thankful for. During dinner, we will pass around the jar & the Thankful Messages can be read out loud. Good to mix old & new traditions!

This large frame was last used at a wedding. So for that it was painted gold & we love how warm the gold looks with these faux leaves (from dollar store). Simply wrote with a sharpie marker & each leaf together spells "Be Thankful".

Had this frame. Printed the saying, a free printable online, from our home computer. Taped it to the back of the frame- looks amazing!

Here is the full mantel. For the large white frame. Easily hung a plain box wreath & added a fall bow. Across the mental are small white pumpkins that spell out THANKS using a simple sharpie marker.

A large tray holds pumplins, candles, jars filled with potpourri & tiny pumpkins. The frame has been reused for the past 3 seasons. A simple frame with the board painted with chalkboard paint. Perfect for seasonally messages.
