21 QUCIK AND PRETTY HOLIDAY DECORATING IDEAS

A few weeks ago I received an exciting email from the Redbook magazine. They asked me if they could feature THREE of my holiday decorations in their online-exclusive Holiday Decoration article.  Of course I said "yes" - who wouldn't want to be featured by a major magazine.

The article is now up live.  Here's the link to the published article - 21 Quick and Pretty Holiday Decorating Ideas.  As you scroll through the 21 ideas, you'll see my three featured items.

The three featured decorations are are my -

A REFLECTION OF TOP PROJECTS

 As the year draws to a close, it has me reflecting over the past and some of the projects I've done.

Rhoda from  Southern Hospitality  is having a  party for your top projects of the year; and I thought I would join in on the fun and share my top 10.

I'm so grateful to all of you for visiting my blog and all your kind comments.  I apologize because I've been a bit behind on responding to your emails for a few reasons..... #1: We've just been blessed and became proud grandparents of our second granddaughter, born December 23rd.  She's a beautiful baby weighing in at 7 lbs 1 oz. 19 inches long.  #2: Sending time with family for Christmas.  #3: I now have 1200 emails to sort through... :(
