I begin decorating the outdoor pots and porch after November 1st. Then I can take my time removing the Fall decorations and packing them away. I love your tips in this video. Gathering the tools and having them on a cart is genius! This entire video is wonderful! I took notes!
I also learned to lid up the tree in the middle from you,the tree had more depth,and the ornaments were reflecting the light deep in the tree as well.beautiful tip,it made the difference.lights are important,you were right;)Also the bows,such a great tips.love your Xmas videos.so beautiful every year
Please share decorating tips for a tree using sentimental ornaments. I’m sure you’d have wonderful ideas using mixed mashed and homemade ornaments but bringing the tree to a cohesive look.
So what does your experiences tell how to protect my decoration from my two young cats…
Was wondering where Mr. Chompers was i couldn’t find it to buy it lol BTW u decorate beautifully
