Sometimes the rush of Thanksgiving prep and the kick-off of the holiday season can overshadow the joy of taking time out to be grateful.

I already shared some fun fall letter board ideas this year, but I thought swapping the boards to quotes specific to Thankgiving might prompt me to SLOW DOWN for a moment each day when I see them.

Or even better, they may make me laugh and relax as I walk by!

Best Ideas for Thanksgiving Letter Boards (Phrase with photos of a wood & black letter board)

Following Alexa, Wash the Clothes and Alexa, Rake the Leaves, I needed another fun saying for our wood letter board. I love Thanksgiving, so thought I didn’t want to outsource any of it to Alexa.But then I remembered the somewhat gross part that I’m thankful I’ve always avoided. Prepping the turkey!

Wood Letter Board - Alexa Stuff the Turkey

Speaking of turkeys, I swapped out a kitchen board and now it makes me hum Carly Rae Jepsen.

I'm All About that Baste Letterboard

I ordered a new black felt letter board bundle from Amazon last week because it was such a good deal.I wanted to test it out and can confirm it’s the perfect starter kit (or 6th letter board if you’ve got a collection / obsession going like me.) The little clippers in our bundle didn’t work, but I’ve always used scissors so that wasn’t a big deal. I was more excited about the fact that it came with an organizing container and a little easel!

Quote from Friends TV Show - What's Not to Like? Custard, Good. Jam Good, Meat Good. On black letterboard.

The easel makes it so easy to add a board to any flat surface as part of our home decor.

We ended up doing some letter mixing and matching of gold letters and 2″ white letters to create a great Friends quote from the Thanksgiving episode where Rachel makes a Trifle…using two different recipes after pages stuck together.

Continuing the TV show quote theme, I had to including a Gilmore Girls Thanksgiving episode classic.

For the first decade of our marriage, we could totally relate to the time Rory and Lorelai had to attend four Thanksgiving dinners.

Gilmore Girls Quote on Grey Letter Board

If you’re in the multi-dinner crowd, start your training now! I always had to keep in mind that we were beyond lucky to have so many places to be because it was stressful.

Now this quote reminds me to be thankful that we get to stay at one house and play games after we eat.

Gilmore Girls Quote on Grey Letter Board

Last year, Corey drew a fun Thanksgiving saying for his Instagram account…

I'm just Here for the Dinner Rolls, lettered with leaves around the words

The phrase is also cute on our white letter board!

And it’s mostly true. Fluffy dinner rolls with a bit of stuffing and gravy are all I really need.

I have SO MANY other ideas I want to put on our boards! I think they’ll be getting swapped out again at least once before Thanksgiving actually arrives.

How to Make a Changeable Thankful Letter Board

One that we’d definitely be doing is a Thankful board. The top part will say…

Today, I’m 
Thankful For: 

And then we’ll keep a bag of letters next to the board. Each day, we can each swap out what we’re thankful for during the 10 days leading up to Thanksgiving.

      He really is! There was a mob of about 6 ten year old girls that about tackled him after one asked if she could pet him and we said yes. He loved it though!
