I was going to title this "Thanksgiving" ideas but realized that many of these can easily be modified for Christmas as well. Nothing big. Nothing fancy-schmancy. Just some simple, inexpensive ways to personalize your holiday celebrations. There are a few that I think I'm going to incorporate this year. Enjoy...
If you're looking for some cloth napkin ideas, you'll want to check out BHG's Effortless Napkins for Thanksgiving.
Or. If you're using paper napkins, why not stamp them like they did here?
These next two photos/ideas are from BHG's Easy Thanksgiving Tabletop Crafts.
Love the idea of framing the Thanksgiving menu. The look could be totally different depending on the frame and embellishment that you use.
They made these trivets by mod podging craft paper to a glass coaster. (I'm assuming it's mod podged to the bottom, not the top.)
Can't get much more simple than this plate, and isn't it pretty? Of course it's from Martha. :-)

Make a Thanksgiving tablecloth like Kimba did

I love the idea of clipping photos to branches. It would be great to somehow incorporate this into your Thanksgiving tablescape but, if you can't, how about placing one or two arrangements in your entry, or anyplace where it would be easy for the guests to stop and enjoy the photos. Include photos of previous Thanksgiving celebrations or photos that you know will have special meaning for your guests/family members.
Another idea from Country Living - writing little quotes or phrases on a paper band made for each glass. How about writing something about each guest/family member that you really appreciate and are thankful for?
