5 New Year’s Party Ideas

Welcome to the 327th Tablescape Thursday!

Please Read: Next week, Tablescape Thursday falls on Christmas Day. I won’t be able to post a table setting that day, but I will put InLinkz up on Wednesday evening in case anyone has a table setting they would like to link up. So stop by and link up your table if you have the time. I’m sure there will be plenty of folks stopping by who would love to see what you’re doing for Christmas Day.

If you are participating in Tablescape Thursday, please be sure to add your permalink below, and not your general blog address.

To get your permalink, click on your post name, then copy and paste the address showing in the address bar, into the “url” box when you link up. You’ll need to include a link in your post back to the party to link up and participate.

That’s so visitors to your blog will be able to find the party and the other Tablescape Thursday participants. Requiring a link back also prevents businesses from linking up to sell their products. (Yep, that really happens, unfortunately.)

Please, don’t add your post name/blog name ALL IN CAPS…it tends to create big spaces between the rows of links.

Please do not link up table settings that were just recently shared for a previous Tablescape Thursday.

    • Pinky, that’s great! You’ll want to keep it on frozen to the last minute. It starts to melt as soon as you bring it out. Also, depending on what you place it in, you’ll want to put something under the container to catch the condensation. I can’t remember if I mentioned that in the tutorial so just wanted to mention, in case. Take a picture so I can see it! It’s a lot of fun to make!

  6. The month of December is flying by and New Year’s Eve is just around the corner. Thanks for the decorating ideas!
