I think Thanksgiving gets a little overlooked with all of the hype leading up to Christmas. It’s such a great time to contemplate all of our blessings. 
So when Shutterfly asked me to come up with a Fall Tablescape idea – I knew I wanted to create a Thanksgiving table! 
I thought a kind of chalkboard-like theme would be fun. So we created 6 different patterns and words that reflected a thankful theme — family, gather, happy, together, home, cherish. On Shutterfly, I created plates, cups, placemats, ornaments which we made into napkin rings, and even some Thanksgiving table runners. I love the way it came out!! 
It’s so easy to upload the photos into Shutterfly and create the runners. I love the way they turned out. I created one runner for my mom and another for my mother-in-law. I think they are a gift that they will cherish for years to come! 
And I also made a 2013 photo book. I printed off memorable moments for our family. And then Thanksgiving Day I will have everyone in the family write their memories of each of the pictures in the book. I think it will create something that will be such a wonderful memento! 
And here are the Thanksgiving Printables!
They are sized to work well with the Shutterfly designs for each style; if you want to use them for something else, you can, but you might have to crop them accordingly. Also, WARNING: since they’re made for fairly large prints, the files are kind of big, so be prepared :). Right-click each link below each set and choose “Save As” to download. (There are six for each.) 
Placemats 
one / two / three / four / five / six 
Plates & Cups (Use the plates images for the cups as well.) 
one / two / three / four / five / six
Cups 
one / two / three / four / five / six

how do i print the table cloth? i read it all…i’m just a little slow today 😉
No problem! You just head over to Shutterfly and go into the Home Decor section and then it’s under table runners. There’s a whole section. They are on sale right now too 🙂 http://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/table-runners Then you just upload your pictures and customize it to what you want and they will print it and send it to you!

Everything looks so beautiful Jen! You are so talented! Love the colours scheme you chose for everything! Angie xo
Oh thanks Angie! That means so much to me. You are so sweet. It was really so fun to design and see the whole tablescape come to life!

Thanks Casey!!

I love this! I don’t really understand how the plates and cups work…was that done through shutterfly? or was this a DIY project? please help…I love it!!
Hi Kylie!!
The plates are printed through Shutterfly. So you go into their Home Decor section and then click on plates – http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-gifts/plates?categoryCode=1079738. And you can choose one of their designs, or if you want to have plates like the ones I designed, you upload my files into their site and they print them off and send them to you.
I hope that makes sense 🙂

We have everyone write what they are thankful for on a tablecloth that we only use for Thanksgiving, it’s fun to pull it out every year and reread what everyone wrote and to see who you have had over for Thanksgiving dinner throughout the years.
I love that idea Jaime!! What a great tradition!!
xoxox
Love this Jen! The designs are so cute! Fabulous job!
Thanks Jamielyn!!
It was so fun to create!! I am in love with your tablescape you made – it’s so pretty!
xoxo
So pretty and memorable… Love it Jen!
Thanks my friend!!
Have a wonderful day!

Love all of these ideas! I too LOVE the idea of signing the photo book instead of printed text!! Thanks Jen!
Thanks Amy! I agree!!
xoxoxo
I love these ideas. I particularly love the book of the year in review…Like a yearbook for signing. Perfect!
Thanks Lisa! I am excited about the book and having everyone write in it!
xoxo
Having people WRITE their own memories in the photo book is fabulous. I often wonder if people will enjoy what I write years from now. 🙂
Yes! I agree. I know people will love seeing what you wrote in your own hand. I think its’ something that is beautiful and will be cherished.
xoxo
I LOVE the idea of not captioning when creating the photobook and doing it in handwriting when it’s complete. I’m a BIG sucker for handwritten anything in digital age!
Me too! I love seeing real handwriting. I think years from now it will be fun to look back and what people wrote and see their words in their own handwriting. I only have a few things in my dad’s handwriting and I cherish those letters.
