Potato Stampers, Place cards and Powerpoint

About Me

Hi, I’m Krista.

Strategic communicator and storyteller.

I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

I didn’t plan my evening in advance, but I do love alliteration. Are you still looking for Thanksgiving table ideas. Well, here are a few more….

Potato Stamped Table Runner – finished product picture to follow.

I was thinking this would be a great addition to any Thanksgiving table as I was creating potato stampers for our little Artful Child session tomorrow. At most craft stores…or IKEA you can buy rolls of plain craft paper, or even better, natural or brown coloured packaging paper. Make yourself some cheap potato stampers, roll out your table runner canvas, pour out some paint and you’re set.
I find potato stampers easiest to make with cookie cutters, or if you are creative just do it free-hand.

Ella loves art but she kept trying to eat the Potatos so she got demoted to a paint brush.
I also spoke earlier of place cards, I got a good start on mine tonight and I have to say, I am pretty happy with the end product. I embossed gold leaves on burnt orange paper, which I will hole punch and tie to the napkins with raffia.

Remeber these? I decided to send them postcard style….Here’s hoping they get to our special people.
And as far as the power point, well its a boring tedious job so I this is as much attention as I am going to give it. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
