RIBBON TREE FOR ADULTS/KIDS

This christmas tree can be made with all sorts of ribbons. I made this at home and used ribbons with gingerbread men on it. Another thing you can do is customize it with your own favorite theme. Not just christmas themes... While I worked on my tree, my children enjoyed putting together their own. I purchased scraps of ballerina fabric, bought shiny ribbon, gems, pom-poms etc... They had a great time adding these to their cardboard cones (available in craft stores)

2. Color the borders of the posters.
3. Give guests a poster and a marker, and have them list the things they are especially thankful for. Have everyone share their thoughts at the dinner table. You may be surprised at the results!

One of my favorite cakes I've made is the cupcake cake using the Wilton cake pan. It lays flat and decorates beautifully. Just frost the top and bottom and add lines on bottom to give wrapper effect. The large circle candy sprinkles look great on the top portion...
