Need Decorating Inspiration?

Need Christmas decorating inspiration? Fast? Take a few hours, more if you can spare it, and go blog hopping. Leap right off from here as I have some of the finest blogs listed ever!


I'm going to show you what a morning of copying did for me. If you click on the photos, you'll see just whom I am copying, but I'll also link to each of my inspirations at the bottom of this post. Perhaps this could be a little quiz. I LOVE quizzes. See if you can figure out where I found each idea. Okay, I digress.











This is one I copied from a Christmas Home Tour I took a few years ago. Finally remembered it! I love the aroma of the evergreen as the tree is a big old fake. These are on each window throughout the house.



I'm off on Nonni duty today. This time I have the little one and he's coming here to play with me and keep me company while I bake cookies.

Hope you have a fun day, too!

**Thanks to the following bloggers: Melissa, Suzanne, Mary, and Catherine!

  1. You've done a great job dressing up that chandelier. In fact, you've actually used Macy's idea of using bunches of poinsettias. I've got a pic of Macy's chandelier on my blog today. Everything looks really great. Now I've got to get busy decorating.

  6. I think I might try using poinsettias on my light too. Actually, I'll have to ask my husband to do it as the table will need to be moved and a stepladder employed. The look is so pretty that the effort will be worth it.

  13. On second thought (and look), that is Melissa's idea for decorating with cookie cutters. Isn't she clever?!

  14. Hi Vee!
    Oh, I just love your trimmings! :) they are so much fun this time of year. Bloglandia is amazing it? Where else could women from around the globe come and share on a daily basis? ARe you floating away today? We are getting rain, rain, rain. School was even delayed this morning from ice. Yuck!
