Christmas Decorations

I love to make decorations. I feel they represent my taste and gives my home a warm feeling.
I have learned to make quite a few things over the years and have come up with many ideas. This is the best time of the year to try something new. My head is swarming with ideas and now it's just finding the time to make them.

Here is a simple and inexpensive centerpiece for your table or counter.

Just take a big glass bowl, any shape and size is fine.



Then fill it up with different size ornaments. Any color and shape. I chose different shades of red and green in different sizes.

I use mine in the middle of the dinning room table. Great little centerpiece to add some color to the room.

Christmas Decorations and House Cleaning

I love Christmas. I love the atmosphere, the feeling, the decorations, food, family, you name it I love it.

I normally get started on pulling out the Christmas Decorations and slowly put them up. A little here and there and I have most of it done by the 1st or 2nd of December. I hope to get a real tree this year, never have had a real one. We will see. If we do I want the biggest we could fit on top of our van and get through the door. I have vaulted ceilings so a huge one would look so nice.
Here are some decorations I have made in the past. I prefer handmade over bought. I feel it adds more of a personal touch and so much fun to make.


I have decided to tackle the master bathroom. I had it really nice and clean and no clutter but I swear one thing gets left out and it multiplies like crazy. I really need to clean under the sink and get things out of there that are not needed or old and organize what I have so it is easier to find and use.
