I didn't grow up in a home that had the table always neatly decorated like Pottery Barn. My mom's table contained the obligatory napkin holder with the salt and pepper shakers on either sides as well as the occasional set of holiday placemats. I got into tablescapes because of my dear friend, Lacee. She is an expert in home decor and her style rubbed off on me, but I got to teach her some great recipes and help her enjoy cooking more than she had in the past!

Can you believe I forgot to take pictures of this table?! I can't! It was very similar to last year's table, though, so you get the point!

So, I decided today in the middle of teaching a lesson on setting that I need to separate my food blogs from my scrapbooking and decor blogs. So, you can find my food at http://justplayingwithfood.blogspot.com. For this blog, though, you'll find all 3 of my scrapping and decorating projects I have time to get done in a month...er...school year... I'd love some suggestions on the scrapping and/or the decor.

Blessings,
Michelle
