Got my Martha on!

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Dec 23, 2010 · Modified: Feb 1, 2015

Yeah, that’s
right……..
I saw a craft the other day on Martha Stewart.com and I was very inspired.
 
Here is my inspiration….thanks Martha!
They are just cute little place card settings, made with sticks.

How easy and cute!

My very good German friend was moving back to Germany, before she left she gave me this table cover. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night…..

Here are where some of my table items came from:
Colored chargers: World Market
Snow flake glasses:  Dollar tree last year
China was given to me
Red Mercury glass vase: Marshalls this year $10.00
Three silver votive snow flake candles: Bath and Body works with 10.00 coupon

    They are really sweet (and simple, which I love).

    Your table is simply perfect.

    Merry Christmas Debbie.

    Gorgeous!!!! I saw the table cloth and went mentally translated Christmas tablecloth and then had the moment of OH! That was in German! I love being able to speak a different language! Tom and I speak German when we don't want Jemma to know what is going on now that Miss Thang is spelling and sounding out!!!

    You rocked it! I love the name plates, but I must say… the boys napping is just precious!
