Didn't do all that much but I got a couple things accomplished and am hoping to do a lot more in the near future. Note how everything's far away from the grimy hands of would be thieves. I don't think anyone will

Homemade Halloween decorations are cheap and cheerful! Or should I say, cheap and frightening? I love decorating the home for the holidays. I never know what to do with those little gourds?

This is a nice festive look.You can also make a

I was asked to make decorations for a surprise engagement party and this is what I created for the party, doily flower cubes.

If you have a friend with a summer birthday, consider a patriotic gift. I believe that when things get tough, a little patriotism can be an excellent reminder of how much better off we are than most any other country in the world. By no means are shows of patriotism limited to the first week or so in the month of July. However, because of the 4th of July holiday and the celebrations associated

When we bought our third home it was a very elegant, 'formal' home, almost 4,000 square feet with a formal living room, a family room and a lower level family room. Suddenly we were in the market for not only more furniture to fill it, but decor and art work to fill the empty space on the walls and make it a home. The problem? We didn't have the budget that our personal tastes required! In

When having some cocktails in our favorite bar we got well decorated glasses. When I saw the decoration I directly got the idea this would be the perfect toy for Chica and Pumuckl. I told the bartender and he was happy to provide us with more cocktails with more decoration for our cats, especially after showing him a photo of them.Chica and Pumuckl are crazy about their new toys. Their grandfather made a nice construction out of the decoration and the ribbon, so all great toys are combined.After playing with grandpa for one hour it was definitely time for a nap. Chica and Pumuckl took the chance when all of us being in balcony and reserved the sofa for themselves.We recently also found the orange again. But as they got their new toys this orange is not interesting enough anymore. They just

If I were a teenage girl giving my bedroom a makeover, I think I'd have to cover it from ceiling to area rug in Betty Boop graphics. I just adore everything that has Betty Boop pictures on it. Most teens and tweens now have bathrooms that adjoin their bedrooms, so if you are going to have a Betty Boop bedding set, you might as well decorate the bathroom to match the comforter, right? There are several contemporary styles of Betty Boop shower curtains and bath accessories to pick from. Currently there are trendy images that are a cross between Betty Boop and Marilyn Monroe that have Betty standing over a hot air grate on a city street trying to stop the white skirt of her flirty dress from flying over her head and revealing more than the sexy garter belt with a big red heart on it and a

I remember when I was a little girl, my father used to bring the whole family to Singapore, to see the Christmas decorations there. Almost every year we will be there. Their Christmas decorations are really nice, all in front of the shopping malls along the Orchard Road. Each and every shopping mall will have nice nice Christmas decorations, they are competing with each other and hope to be the winner of the competition.I can still remember very clearly their Christmas decorations although after so many years. Their decorations were nothing like our country's decorations. You can really enjoy the Christmas feel when you walked along the Orchard Road.I wonder this Christmas decorations competition thing still going on in Singapore? I heard from a friend that went to Singapore during Christmas few years ago, she said it's no longer that nice. They just simply put up a few Christmas trees and that's it! Did you visit Singapore recently? Do you agree with what my friend said? I do hope

We don’t have many up this year. And I’m slacking on our outside Christmas lights, too. We didn’t put any on the roof. Neither of us likes getting up on the ladder anyway. But I put up the trees in the windows. My Dad made these some years ago. They didn’t use them at their house anymore, and so they gave them to us. I love them! To see the dark picture you may have to click on it to see the full version. It’s too small to see the lights in the dark. But it gives a better idea of what the lights look like in the dark. I do love Christmas Lights, they really bring the holiday season to life for me. Even if they are not so good anymore because of using electricity to power them. But we don’t really use many at all. And I want to start doing other things, too, to conserve and protect the environment. So I am going to start reusing my own grocery bags too. And it was so bright outside today, after the big snow we had yesterday, I had to wear my Blu Bl

When are we suppose to setup the tree? What is the right date to dig out the Christmas lights, and start decorating? Shops have been starting this earlier each year, or maybe it jut feels that way to me. I realize that they prepare people for the festive season early, and that by decorating a lot of people do their shopping well in advance, hence avoiding the rush. But September is just a bit too early, right? Logically I would say the 1st of December should be the official ‘Christmas countdown’. When we start seeing all the decoration, we get into the whole holiday mood, and for myself, I don’t feel like work any more - after all ‘Tis the season to be jolly?’. Well I’ve been jolly since September now, and its starting to fade a bit. I suppose Christmas will come quick enough. Next week being that last week of work for 2007 and all. But still. I need the Christmas festivities to wait just a bit longer before rolling out all the fancies!!! It

Getting more into December and closer to Christmas, this is going to be my last post for the weekend.

When I saw the Midvalley's Christmas decorations, I was kind of disappointed. It used to be the best among all shopping malls, but now?

Take a look yourself, I took a few pictures.this is their Christmas Decorations!It looks quite ok if you haven't seen the onein The Curve. hehe, but trust me, their past yrs decorationswere definitely much better than this!!I only took 2-3 pictures.

By Melinda Barton Before you decide on your wedding reception decorations, you’re going to have to do some planning. Here are some ideas to get you started. Does your wedding have a theme? Themed weddings can be a lot of fun for everyone involved. Some popular themes are black & white, Valentine’s Day, garden party, country & western, beach and medieval. What’s your budget and how many people are you expecting? The number of guests and the amount of money you have to spend will have a big impact on how extravagant your decorations will be. Keep in mind that while table decorations and favors seem inexpensive, the totals add up quickly when you have a large number of guests. Where are you holding your reception? Your choice of venue will have a lot to do with deciding on your decorations. A country club wedding will be decorated much differently than a beach side barbecue. If you decide not to use a theme for your wedding, you’ll need to choose a color or two to focus

Remember my "undecided" entry on this blog? I think I finally made up my mind. This year, I will put up that tree after seven years of celebrating Christmas without a Christmas tree. The only question left now is will it be a natural or an artificial tree. There are pros and cons whichever type of tree I'm going to get. That said, I have already started browsing online for Christmas Decorations. After not having paid attention for so many years on the different decors for the holiday, I am amazed that there's a wide variety of Christmas Decorations for indoor and outdoor decorating to choose from. From inflatables, personalized ornaments, outdoor lighting, lawn decors, tree ornaments and the good old artificial tree.What will be my motif? I am not decided yet. I will continue browsing at Christmas-Decorations-Online.com to get ideas. I'm sure I will get inspired and my creativity will come to fore just by browsing and checking out. Hopefully, place the order soon as time is running

Front DecorationsOriginally uploaded by Misa Gracie. After the triptophan coma wore off, Yama, Nassima and I went to the early bird sales on Friday (5am!!) in Salem NH.I was able to pick up a few gifts, but to be honest, I have no idea what anyone wants... so I held back unless it was one of those "(Name) WOULD LOVE THAT!!" moments... which there weren't any, so I mainly shopped for myself...Then on Saturday Yama went to a friend’s house to stay the rest of the weekend to go shopping and visit. Ali and I then took the opportunity to rake the leaves and put up the holiday lights.And, seeing that we'd be traipsing around the basement anyway, we brought up the tree and all the other decorations too. Ali had to work Saturday night so I wrote out our Christmas cards and put together our holiday shopping list.I put the tree together early Sunday morning and then when I got home from church Ali and I decorated it. (It was an exercise in patience for me... I had to allow him to hang like c

If you’re looking for some garden decor, why not go down a different route than everyone else? Forget about the gnomes and daft little bird baths and think instead about some wrought iron work instead. You can get a nifty little weathervane like the one here for under $40 (there are lots of different designs if you don’t fancy this particular one). How about upgrading the little hooks for your hose and whatnot too while you’re at it? Just $20 is all it takes to change from what’s probably a pretty naff looking hook to a nice decorative one that’ll last pretty much forever. In fact there’s a wide range of matching wrought iron items so that you can get a very co-ordinated feel to the decorations in your garden rather than what’s probably something of a hotch-potch of various styles that you’ve picked up over the years. If you’re very keen on these you can even carry the look through into your house with a whole range of household ite

I took the babies on a little road trip the other day and to keep them from squabbling I try to come up with games to play in the car with the older two. To make a long story short, I think I may have created a monster. One of the games we play is to count the cell phone or microwave towers or road signs. I figure that this is a good way to begin teaching the older two about counting as well as their surroundings. Since it is so close to Halloween time I made an attempt to adapt our popular car counting game to cover Halloween decorations; pumpkins in particular.The way we play it is that each time one of the kids spots a pumpkin of any kind they count it AND before they do they shout BINGO. On that particular trip I considered myself a virtual genius for coming up with this as it seemed to be so festive and entertaining they forgot about complaining about who was touching or leaning on them for a little while.The problem is that between now and Thanksgiving we will not be able to
