This year was the second year that I had Thanksgiving at my house in   California.  I had never decorated for the holidays before,  and had a  blast doing it.  Here are some of the decorations I made.  As  you can  see, they were very easy to do and inexpensive.  Most of the  things  were purchased at craft supply stores, such as Joann's and  Michael's.  I  cut the leaves myself from an outline I found on  MarthaStewart.com.
