11 Steps To Make Your Thanksgiving Pinterest-ing
Delightfull

Pinterest, the home to all things crafty and cute.

Although most do-it-yourself recipes and crafts "pinned" to this site seem to require a lot of invested time and effort, your Thanksgiving festivities will be the talk of the town if you consider the following 11 Pinterest items.

1. Serve a turkey veggie tray.

This uniquely decorated appetizer is a great way to begin any Thanksgiving Day feast! Learn how to make it here. Substitute these veggies for your favorites to personalize the dish.

2. Create a Thankful Tree and have everyone participate.

Let us not forget the true meaning of Thanksgiving — being thankful! Have each guest jot down what they are thankful for and hang it on the tree. It's an easy do-it-yourself project that involves everyone, and allows them to think about what they are thankful for.

3. Decorate with DIY leaf candle holders.

Would this even be a do-it-yourself list without a mason jar craft? The answer is no. Learn how to make these festive decorations here.

4. Curate a mean fireplace mantle display.

Fall leaves and pumpkins are a must when decorating your home for the season. Go wild with all things fall to give your mantle the decorative spirit it needs. Be creative with it — design the area to fit your home and personal style the best.

5. Offer your guests a game of fall-themed tic-tac-toe.

We all know there's usually no winner during this game; however, after a full meal of turkey, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, you may be able to slip by with a win! This do-it-yourself project is cute, interactive and perfect for the guests. See how to make it here.

6. Set up a caramel apple bar.

Not only does this look fun, but also delicious! Get your guests involved in creating their own dessert in this do-it-yourself caramel apple bar. Using simply a muffin tin, lay out a variety of toppings along with apple slices and caramel. Genius, I know.

7. Have something for the little ones to do.

To keep the children entertained throughout the evening, create activities for them to participate in! This craft will be fun to construct and remind them what this holiday is really about.

8. Serve a festive, adult beverage.

This delicious apple-y drink will totally hit the spot and pair beautifully with your Thanksgiving meal. It's cozy, boozy and oh-so-fall. Get the recipe here.

9. Decorate the table.

Nothing screams "Thanksgiving" more than a fall themed tablescape, including a plethora of candles, leaves and pumpkins. This is just one example of the many looks you can go for when decorating your table this year.

10. Make sure the house smells great throughout the day and night.

A great smelling home is a welcoming home! Make the whole house smell like fall by simmering a mixture of fruits and spices in a crockpot. Leave the mixture heating all day long to prolong the festive aroma. Get the directions for this here.

11. Finish off the night with an amazing dessert.

Though the entire meal is delicious, dessert is debatably the best part of the night. There are tons of recipes to choose from, so pick your favorite(s) and pin them to your autumn board so that when Thanksgiving day is here, you are ready to bake!

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
