Tonight we are hosting my best friend, Kelly and her hubby, Jeff, for a holiday dinner. Afterwards we're going to play a few board games. We decided to split the menu so one person didn't have to do everything. I'm making stuffed shells and Caesar salad while they are bringing garlic bread and dessert. I thought I'd let you guys see the table that hubby and I put together for dinner. Surprisingly enough, we only had to purchase the red tapers because we own everything you see in the pictures!!! So the tablescape only costs us $1. My kind of party!!! ; ) All in all the party has only costs us $16 total. I'm still hobbling around and trying to pace myself. The knee immobilizer and crutches have helped. I couldn't get an appointment with an orthopedist until Dec. 22nd so I've got a little over a week until I go for the appointment.

Beautiful table arrangement!

I LOVE your dinner party table.
When I was a SAM, I USED to cook, and decorate like crazy, and have people over and be a real person.
Now I'm "chained" to the school where I teach. Oh, it has its rewards like being given the gift of having input into young lives - - - but I don't have energy left over to do all those fun home things.
Anyway - - - I vicariously enjoyed your party table.
Thanks for inviting me!!!
Merry Christmas
