sneak peek.

I am having 9 guest for Christmas dinner this year. I have two sets of Christmas dishes, each setting is for 4 people. I thought I could just leave Savannah out, but then this girl and I came up with a plan. =)

Evonne's mismatched Christmas table scape.

We started off with a seating chart, and Savannah decided what every one's place setting would be. 3 will be snowflake, 3 will be reindeer, and 3 will be "flowers", as Savannah puts it. I bought some cheap dishes, I borrowed some dishes, and some I already owned.

This is where my brilliant sidekick comes in...she told me a secret for napkin holders to match my place settings. You cut up your paper towel tube, and voila...napkin holders. I wrapped them in some paper, and put a cute little Quickutz on top. Take a look...
This will be the first time in our marriage we will spending Christmas with family. I am thrilled, and am counting the days until there arrival from Wisconsin.

I love your table setting stuff. I'm sure everyone will love it and dinner will turn out nicely too. My parents are coming over so it'll just be the 5 of us. I wasn't going to do anything "fancy" but your photos make me want to decorate the table somehow. Thanks!
