Homemade pinecone centerpiece with Huge pinecones from our property on lake Sam Rayburn

Howdy!

Matt and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Matt's family in Jasper. The weather was so pleasant during our visit that we decided to take a ride up to lake Sam Rayburn and check out the lake access property that Matt and I purchased. Right now it is a woody, undeveloped lot; eventually we would like to build a log cabin on it. We were so excited to discover that several of the pine trees on the property produce HUGE pinecones! We picked up a couple of the HUGE pinecones. Matt had an excellent idea for preserving the pinecones with spray lacquer and decorating the pinecones with ribbon and jingle bells. We think the homemade centerpiece came out great! We placed it on the dining room table to greet guests as they enter our home.
