Placecards

I thought this was an appropriate project with the holidays approaching.  Even with a family as small as mine, where Thanksgiving is an informal affair, there's a certain desire to save seats.  It could be something as innocent as Mom needs the chair closest to the kitchen, or Uncle Jack wants to be able to crane his neck to see the game.  And sometimes its just better to keep little John away from Jane. 

SUPPLIES

You really only need cardstock, scissors and adhesive for this project.  For the pumkin placecards, I found a dingbat online and printed it onto cardstock, for all the others, I used stamps.  Die cuts and stickers would work wonderfully. There's really no limit to how you can expand on this simple idea.
