It's that time of year, ya know, the BEST time of year for home decorating!! I've accumulated quite the collection of ornaments, nativities, Santas and such. Now that I have room for everything and then some, I'm yearning for a new tree. Wouldn't an 8 footer look smashing in the living room? I digress.
I wanted to share a few of my favorite tricks of the trade. Besides having a mom that loves to gift decorations every year, I have a few other tricks up my Santa suit to make a lot of bang for not much buck.
1. Wrapping paper and ribbon can make any year-round item a holiday decoration!
Exhibit A: Inexpensive art canvases I purchased earlier this fall
Exhibit B: Serving tray
2. Ornaments in pretty bowls are classy, simple and spread a budget far, although I'd spring for the shatterproof ones next time!
3. Have fun! Not everything has to match. This year I found a place for all those old decorations that remind me of special people and memories - and I think the result is eclectic, fun and homey.
