I am so excited to show you a fun organization project I created for my boys hockey room. How fun is that? When we first bought this home, Ethan was an only child and his favorite sport was baseball. We designed his entire room around his love of America's favorite pastime, and we had this shelving unit for all of his "stuff."

This month Lowe's challenged their creative network to show off some fall decor that won't break the bank. Here is what I came up with: A Thankful Thanksgiving Tablecloth! This project was inspired by my SIL Becca's tablecloth she posted about last year- see her tutorial HERE. I put a little spin on Becca's idea- instead of me writing all the things we are grateful for, I decided to let the whole family get in on the fun! Here is how we made it: 1.
