Hello, friends! Today I'm taking part in a fun holiday kitchen blog hop hosted by Tammy from Pink Peppermint Design! If you're stopping by from Tammy's blog, welcome! I'm so glad you're here! I'd like to tell you that my holiday kitchen inspires me to do some holiday cooking, but that would be a lie. I'm not easily inspired to cook, and while decorating for Christmas does give me visions of holiday cookies and gingerbread, I really think I'll just buy that stuff at the store and just save ...

A Colorful Holiday Mantel
It's time to start thinking about holiday decorating, my friends. How do we feel about that? Excited? Stressed? Maybe both? I know I get a bit stressed when the job of decorating the house for the holidays rolls around each year. As a blogger, there is the added pressure of making it new and different each year.

Halloween Tablescape
It seems like I decorate for Halloween a little differently than other holidays: in small bits at a time. I'll bring up a few decor items from the basement. A few days later I'll grab something else, and on and on it goes. My dining room table was one of the first places I decorated for Halloween by adding just a few simple touches to my colorful fall tablescape. I actually did a simple DIY tutorial on these DIY Creepy Halloween Floral Arrangements a few weeks ago. I really just added ... Read More about Halloween Tablescape
