As I reflect on this past year, I am grateful for friends, family and work relationships. Thank you all for your love, support and belief in me. I would like to wish you all a very blessed holiday and joy in the new year. Merry Christmas, Carol 2016

Decorating for Christmas or any occasion can be a bit daunting so here are some suggestions to help with your decorating. Try choosing a theme and then stick to it. For example, you may choose to decorate with a collection of Santas, or pick a color theme like silver and red, or go with a vintage look. Whatever you decide, make sure you choose decorations that work together, at least in the rooms that open onto one another. Set up vignettes displaying your collections. Mak
