TABLESCAPING IDEAS:(Love "Brain" for helping me come up with this...) Pick pictures with a theme and frame them accordingly on small frames. Use white and green or floral plates with green placemats on bare table for nature themes and coordinating plates for other themes. In the middle for a centerpiece, choose three sizeable items to giveaway the theme with a few candles around or anything fun around it. Place these framed cuties on each plate with the person's name assigned to that seat and ask each guest to come up with an image for their picture. After everyone is done with their "image" about the picture, hand the frame to the next person and start over again until each picture comes back to the original plate. You have an instant conversation starter and a game to immerse everyone in the theme of your tablescape!
Here are a few of God's creatures residing near us! Sometimes, they are the simplest tokens to show us how we are all connected...
Thank you so much for stopping by; make sure to check out others' choices on their own blogs!
How nice to have had the photo framed for your hubby! Love the wildlife photos, too!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie! He loves it!
ReplyDeleteThe airplane picture is cool -- and how clever is your hubby?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting our blog :-) You asked about where I got the star hanging in my hallway.... I bought it at a shop in a little town outside of Ottawa. But I'm sure you could find something similar -- maybe check at Pier 1 Imports.

Hi there...this is my first visit to your wonderful blog...Your nature photos are amazing...especially the coyote; however, I'd have fear he might try to eat one of my little Poms...;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteChandy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog award and for taking the time to visit my kitchen blog !
I love the butterfly pic taken at the Temple...I was surprised with myself that I have been doing themes on my walls and didn't realize it. I read once that you can tell a lot about a person by what they hang on their walls in their home and bedrooms... I guess I'm A-O.K. in that department...Great post...I have catching up to do since I was away for a few days !
Nice of you for taking the bait and getting the pic and have it framed for you hubby. Love the nature pictures...Christine
ReplyDeleteNice captures of the critters around your place :0)Happy O.W. to you...
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate to have so many animals who live around in your area. Nice pictures! Happy OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY.

The coyote picture is so cool! I would love to get a picture like that. I've been trying to get a picture of a possum that visits us (LOL) but they are REALLY fast! Happy OW! :)
ReplyDeleteShelia: Thank you! I love that picture, too!
ReplyDeleteBo: I know what you mean, a pom did get eaten by one of those. Yikes!
Lynn: How are you? I'm glad you're back! No worries, you are awesome just the way you are. You visit this blog, of course you're awesome! :-D
Christine: I actually saw that picture before, but I pretended that I didn't see the magazine. So it was already in the works before he did that but I didn't buy until he did that. :-D
