don in brooklin on Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Each year at our Christmas dinner I make place markers for everyone know where to sit. Started back 8 years ago with Steve Goods personalized ornaments. Over the years I have done mostly ornaments but have done sleighs, last year dangles and this year we have snowman ready to go. 19 expected for diner. The pattern is by Sue Mey( modified), decorated by my better half and the laser broom by a friend at our club. There are 5 designs but all decorated uniquely. meflick, barb.j.enders, amazingkevin and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Great looking work all around. Nice work on the cutting, the painting and the laser names on the brooms. I was just counting up this morning how many we were expecting for Thanksgiving. I think I counted about 17 - need to count again and make sure as that would be a smaller then normal number but one sister and her family I know are probably not going to be able to make it and we are down both some other family members in the past couple of years and some extended family are not coming in this year. Fortunately we don't do all the cooking, we do the turkey and ham, and rolls and a couple things and everyone else brings a side dish or two and/or a dessert to share. Makes it easy enough and everybody knows they have something their kids will like! Course, all those kids are now grown or almost grown! I have never done "place card" sitting, everybody just sits wherever they find a place but I have always liked the ideas like these people did. Perhaps I could simply make them and let them use to "identify" their own seat or take as an early Christmas gift. Thanks for sharing.
