Giving Doggie Bags a new look!

Want to give yourself some refrigerator space after a big Thanksgiving meal?   You can send your family and guests home with leftovers that look good enough to eat. These takeout boxes are sold only in large volumes, but you will certainly not regret ordering them.  You can find so many uses for such handy containers.  The containers are found at  mrtakeoutbags.com.

Simply add your own decorative label and ribbon and your guests will be impressed and appreciative when they open their lunch the next day.  Enjoy!
 

Thanksgiving is slowly approaching!

Although we have not yet celebrated Halloween, I can't help think that we are only a month away from Thanksgiving, not sure how this has happened, but it has.  It certainly makes you feel like cozying up for the upcoming holiday.  Here is a great party tip for that overcrowded table . . . use a side table or huntboard to display a great table setting along with your delicious food. Just add some bittersweet to a glass vase and you have the perfect decorated sideboard.   Enjoy!
