Centerpiece!

Somewhere in between cleaning house and destroying the dressing i was trying to make i found the time to make the centerpiece for the table!

Here we have a log I found outside that was part of the old fence in our backyard

A $3 roll of chalkboard paper from Tarjay

Chalk... also from Target

A few Tealight candles that I think I got from Walmart. I've had them forever so I'm not sure but you can find them anywhere!!!  

 

 First I measured the log and figured for many inches apart I wanted the candles

 I decided on every three inches and marked it with a marker

 Then using a 1 1/2 in spade drill bit, I drilled the holes to the depth of the candles! I took the candles out of their little metal holder before putting them in the hole because seriously I couldn't get them in the hole with it.

 There they are all in their holes!

Then I just unrolled the chalkboard paper down the middle of the table and put the log on top! Tomorrow I'm going to send the kiddos out in the yard to find some pretty little leaves and stuff to put around it. I think this would work well for Christmas as well. You could put your tree trimmings around it and possibly some Christmas ornaments! Maybe even those lights I bought for the wreath that I didn't use! Okay I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and gets to spend some well needed time with their families!!!
