Set Your Table Contest

I know you can set a pretty table, but do you do this for dinner regularly?  If not, it would be a nice treat for your family to take the time to set the table in a beautiful, inviting way: serve all the food in pretty dishes, use the nice napkins, add some decorations.  Use the good glasses.  What if you do not have a set of “nice” dishes?  Well, use what you have in a new and creative way.  Beauty does not have to cost a fortune, but it can take time and effort. 

 I would love to see a picture of your beautifully set table.  No digital camera?  That’s okay.  Set your table beautifully and send me a “word picture.”  Describe it to the best of your ability.

I also know some of you have babies and toddlers, so it may seem silly to get out the nicest dishes when they are at risk for getting tossed or thrown.  I understand!  Perhaps you can set the table for a nice, special dessert just for you and your husband after the toddlers are in bed. 

Theresa powers from Seasons at Home Magazine is donating a terrific prize for this one.  The winner will receive a free copy of Seasons at Home Magazine from www.joyoushome.com, a $12.00 Value.   

If you are sending me an entry with no digital pictures, you can add it in the comments below.  Email pictures to me at:  HomeMaking911@gmail.com
