<br />Hi Friends,<br /><br />
Spring is the most hopeful season of the year. Along with the warmer days and budding blooms that symbolize spring also come the hopes of dining outdoors, and the exciting feeling of trying new activities. Be an advocate of making seasonal to-do lists in order to keep life interesting. Here are a few ideas that will have you ready to embrace any adventure that comes your way before Labor Day. Without further ado, here are 10 Spring adventures that should go on your Spring bucket list…<br /><br />
<b>10 Things to Try This Spring</b><br /><br />
<b>1. Go to an outdoor music festival.<br /></b>
In the past few years, I have come to associate the month of April with Coachella. If you have never been, there is no better time to go than now (the lineup this year is amazing!). And if you’ve been before…do I even have to convince you? For those of you who don’t live in Southern California, be sure to look into Mile High Music Festival, Outside Lands, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, which are all in the summer.<br /><br />
<b>2. Go on an impulsive weekend road trip.<br /></b>
The best kinds of road trips are the ones that happen in a spur of the moment decision. Pick a place you have always wanted to visit (I’m dying to go to Big Sur), grab your best friend or boyfriend, and just make it happen. Be sure to bring a cool camera to take snapshots along the way.<br /><br />
<b>3. Create a cozy patio set up for springtime entertaining.<br /></b>
My apartment has a darling little back patio that is just begging to be used for an al fresco dinner party. This spring, I vow to add outdoor furniture, twinkle lights, and potted succulents to make the space inviting and useful. If you have a patio, I encourage you to do the same!<br /><br />
<b>4. Springify your closet.<br /></b>
There’s nothing like a bit of spring-cleaning to help get you excited for new warm-weather wardrobe staples. Donate items you haven’t worn in a while, and reorganize the clothing and accessories you plan to keep for a fresh perspective. It will give you a good idea of what to add to add to your spring shopping list.<br /><br />
<b>5. Hike to the highest spot in town.<br /></b>
Los Angeles has some pretty amazing hiking spots that are especially enjoyable on a gorgeous spring day. This season, take advantage of getting a good workout and enjoying the view by hiking to the highest spot in your town. You might even see your city in a whole new light.<br /><br />
<b>6. Volunteer once a week.<br /></b>
Volunteering once a week this spring (and beyond!) is so rewarding, and it will enrich your life. I highly recommend researching a food bank, soup kitchen, or inner city school closest to you and lending a hand. It doesn’t even need to be once a week—even going once a month will make a difference, and it will make you feel good in return.<br /><br />
<b>7. Learn how to nurture.<br /></b>
Practice cultivating something this spring… Whether that means planting an herb garden, bringing home your first goldfish, or buying a puppy, learning to take care of something else will give you a broadened outlook on life.<br /><br />
<b>8. Learn how to bake a pie.<br /></b>
I’ve always wanted to learn how to bake a pie from scratch, and this season I’ve decided to make it happen. Bake a pie with seasonal spring fruits like rhubarb, strawberries, or cherries.<br /><br />
<b>9. Add a flea market addition to your home.<br /></b>
While you may be quite familiar with the flea markets in your area, a vintage splurge might not happen every time you make the trip. Promise yourself one special purchase at your local flea market that you will love in your home. It will refresh your décor for the changing seasons and get you excited about adding more new pieces in the future.<br /><br />
<b>10. Add a few sun kissed strands to your hair.<br /></b>
In my opinion, one of the best parts about spring is that it leads into summer! Get your tresses beach-ready by adding in a few highlights. If your hair is chestnut brown, throw some golden strands into the mix. If you’re a redhead, try a bit of strawberry blonde. And if you have golden locks, bright blonde is the way to go.<br /><br />
These are just a few ideas to get your started, compliments of Allison Norton but if you might also be inspired by Malavika Suresh with Spring Inspiration.<br /><br />
<b>Spring Inspiration: Things to do this spring...</b><br /><br />
1. Go on a detox/cleanse.<br /><br />
2. Spring clean your home.<br /><br />
3. Have a yard sale (or an e-bay sale) to get rid of what you don’t need anymore.<br /><br />
4. Rearrange the furniture in your home. Feng Shui up your life and bring in a newer and fresher energy.<br /><br />
5. Have fresh flowers in your home.<br /><br />
6. Take care of your legs (it’s time to get those bad boys out!) and toes. Get pedicures and manicures often.<br /><br />
7. Update your Spring/Summer wardrobe.<br /><br />
8. Learn some new hairstyles.<br /><br />
9. Detail your car.<br /><br />
10. Start a brand new project.<br /><br />
11. Plan a summer trip.<br /><br />
12. Start a reading list.<br /><br />
13. Get a new hair style.<br /><br />
14. Take more walks in beautiful places.<br /><br />
15. Ride your bicycle.<br /><br />
16. Have a picnic.<br /><br />
17. Start running again.<br /><br />
18. Drink more water.<br /><br />
19. Wear lighter colours.<br /><br />
20. Start an outdoor hobby.<br /><br />
Both list are great, but whatever you decide to do this Spring have fun with family and friends...

<br />
Hi Friends,<br />
<br />
Found some history on St. Patrick from The Holiday Spot and thought we would share this information about the patron saint of Ireland with all of you.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!
<br /><br />
<i><b><b><u>History of St Patrick</u></b><br /></b></i>
St Patrick is known as the patron saint of Ireland. True, he was not a born Irish. But he has become an integral part of the Irish heritage, mostly through his service across Ireland of the 5th century.<br />
<br />
Patrick was born in the later half of the 4th century AD. There are differing views about the exact year and place of his birth. According to one school of opinion, he was born about 390 A.D., while the other school says it is about 373 AD. Again, his birth place is said to be in either Scotland or Roman England. His real name was probably Maewyn Succat. Though Patricius was his Romanicized name, he was later came to be familiar as Patrick.<br />
<br />
Patrick was the son of Calpurnius, a Roman-British army officer. He was growing up as naturally as other kids in Britain. However, one day a band of pirates landed in south Wales and kidnapped this boy along with many others. Then they sold him into slavery in Ireland. He was there for 6 years, mostly imprisoned. This was when changes came to him. He dreamed of having seen God. Legend says, he was then dictated by God to escape with a getaway ship.<br />
<br />
Finally, he did escape and went to Britain. And then to France. There he joined a monastery and studied under St. Germain, the bishop of Auxerre. He spent around 12 years in training. And when he became a bishop he dreamed that the Irish were calling him back to Ireland to tell them about God. The Confessio, Patrick's spiritual autobiography, is the most important document regarding this. It tells of a dream after his return to Britain, in which one Victoricus delivered him a letter headed "The Voice of the Irish."<br />
<br />
So he set out for Ireland with the Pope's blessings. There he converted the Gaelic Irish, who were then mostly Pagans, to Christianity. He was confident in the Lord, he journeyed far and wide, baptizing and confirming with untiring zeal. And, in a diplomatic fashion he brought gifts to a kinglet here and a lawgiver there,but accepted none from any.<br />
<br />
Indeed, Patrick was quite successful at winning converts. Through active preaching, he made important converts even among the royal families. And this fact upset the Celtic Druids. Patrick was arrested several times,but escaped each time. For 20 years he had traveled throughout Ireland, establishing monasteries across the country. He also set up schools and churches which would aid him in his conversion. He developed a native clergy, fostered the growth of monasticism, established dioceses, and held church councils.<br />
<br />
Patrick's doctrine is considered orthodox and has been interpreted as anti-Pelagian. Although he is not particularly noted as a man of learning, a few of his writings remain extant: his Confession, a reply to his detractors, and several letters. The Lorica ("Breastplate"), a famous hymn attributed to Patrick, may date to a later period. By the end of the 7th century Patrick had become a legendary figure, and the legends have continued to grow since then. There are many legends associated with St Patrick. It is said that he used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the concept of the Trinity; which refers to the combination of Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Hence its strong association with his day and name Legend also has that, Saint Patrick had put the curse of God on venomous snakes in Ireland. And he drove all the snakes into the sea where they drowned.<br />
<br />
True, these are mostly legends. But, after some 1500 years, these legends have been inseparably combined with the facts. And together they have helped us know much about the Saint and the spirit behind celebration of the day. Patrick's mission in Ireland lasted for over 20 years. He died on March 17, AD 461. That day has been commemorated as St. Patrick's Day ever since. The day's spirit is to celebrate the universal baptization of Ireland. Though originally a Catholic holy day, St. Patrick's Day has evolved into more of a secular holiday. Or, rather, 'be an Irish Day '. And the Irish has borne it as part of their national tradition in everywhere they populated and prospered. The Catholic feast day for this most loved of Irish saints has become a holiday in celebration of the Irish and Irish culture. The leprechaun, a Celtic fairy, has become entrenched as a chief symbol for this holiday, as is the shamrock, an ancient symbol for the triple goddess Brigit. It is fitting that this holiday should fall at the time of the year when the return of spring begins to seem at hand. <br />
<br />
Happy St. Patrick's Day from your friends at Interior Design!<br />

<br /><br />Happy Easter Friends,<br /><br />
Save yourself some serious money during the holidays by making your own Honey Baked Ham recipe at home!<br /><br />
This Copycat Honey Baked Ham is one of those recipes you love to have for holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. <br /><br />
<b>Prep Time:</b> 10 minutes<br />
<b>Cook Time:</b> 4 hours 10 minutes<br />
<b>Total Time:</b> 4 hours 20 minutes<br />
<b>Calories:</b> 632<br /><br />
<font size="5" color="black">Ingredients</font>
<br />
▢ 8 lb bone-in spiral sliced half ham<br />
▢ 2 Tbsp butter, melted<br />
▢ 3 Tbsp honey<br />
▢ 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar<br />
▢ 1/2 tsp seasoned salt<br />
▢ 1/2 tsp onion powder<br />
▢ 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
▢ 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg<br />
▢ 1/4 tsp ground ginger<br />
▢ 1/4 tsp ground cloves<br />
▢ 1/4 tsp paprika<br />
▢ pinch of allspice<br /><br />
<font size="5" color="black">Instructions</font><br />
<b>DRY THE HAM</b> – The hams from the grocery stores come in those sealed bags, which contain water. Give the ham a little pat dry with some paper towels to make sure the butter and honey don’t just slide right off.<br /><br />
If warming in the slow cooker, trim ham to fit (if needed). Depending on your ham and your slow cooker, you may need to shave off a little bit to make the ham fit. If you’ll be warming your ham in the oven – omit this step.<br /><br />
Combine butter and honey then massage into ham. I like to get some of the honey butter mixture in between the slices.<br /><br />
Cover and cook on LOW for about 4 hours. Again, this is for warming the ham in the slow cooker – omit if warming in the oven.<br /><br />
Combine dry glaze ingredients.<br /><br />
Pat half of the sugar mixture on the warmed ham, then broil. Just for a few minutes, until bubbly and a little caramelized. Then remove from the oven.<br /><br />
Add remaining sugar mixture to saucepan with water or ham juices. Heat this mixture to a boil, and boil for about a minute, then remove from heat and brush or pour the glaze over the ham.<br /><br />
Broil ham again. Just for a minute or two, being careful not to let it burn!<br /><br />
Let ham rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This allows the glaze to fully harden and get that classically crackly crust.<br /><br />
Trim ham if needed, then place in slow cooker. Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.<br /><br />
At the end of the cooking time, preheat broiler to HIGH, and line a roasting pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. <br /><br />
Combine sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika and allspice in a small bowl. Pat half of the sugar mixture over the top of the ham.<br /><br />
Broil for several minutes, until bubbly and caramelized, then remove from oven.<br /><br />
To a small saucepan, add remaining sugar mixture. Add 3 Tbsp of either water or ham juices from bottom of the slow cooker. A combination of water/ham juice and bourbon is a nice alternative! Stir, and heat to a boil. Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat.<br /><br />
Brush or pour glaze over the ham, then broil again for a minute or two (careful... don't let it burn!). Remove from oven and let ham rest for 5-10 minutes. <br /><br />
Serve warm or cold and enjoy!<br /><br />
Bon Appétit

Mirrors and mirrored furniture are high-impact ways to get a luxury look, even on a budget. You can simply add a mirror, such as this round fish-eye mirror above the bed, which Atlanta designer Michelle Mentzer found at a discount. Or go glam by switching out a basic bedside table for a mirrored nightstand. If you have hardwood floors, add a patterned rug from an outlet store.<br /><br />

A sitting area and plush decorative benches at the foot of the bed take this bedroom from comfy home to a sumptuous experience, plus the butter and gray color palette gives the room a restful vibe.

<br /><br />Hi Friends,<br /><br />
Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and had the opportunity to spend it with the people that are special to you.<br /><br />
It's been a while since our last post and we apologize for that but know we are still here. So let's get started with ideas for the coming months.<br /><br />
Get the feel of a chic urban boutique, elegant escape or countryside resort with these simple tips from designers.<br /><br />

There are few things in life that feel quite as indulgent as staying at a luxe boutique hotel. Somehow those hotel beds always manage to feel like a fluffy cloud and the sheets feel as soft as spun silk. And don't even get us started on the bathrobes. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars or hop on a plane to experience the magic of your favorite hotel room. There are some simple things you can do to recreate the same luxurious vibe in your own bedroom.<br /><br />
Channel the vibe of a modern bed & breakfast with sophisticated, no-frills drapery used in an unpredictable way. Install curtain rods onto the ceiling to create a soft wall of fabric around the bed, which adds height and intimacy, says Alice Cramer, an Atlanta interior designer.<br /><br />

The easiest way to snazz up your bedroom is to outfit your bed with a gorgeous set of sheets. To keep the hotel room look, go for a crisp, white set of sheets that are at least 300 thread count. Hotel rooms tend to use sateen or percale sheets, but you should choose the material that feels most comfortable to you. If you want to splurge, you can have your sheets professionally laundered, so they come home nice and pressed. And if you find a brand of linens that you truly love, consider purchasing two or three sets so you always have them on hand.<br /><br />

A wallpaper accent wall brings elegance into this bedroom. Atlanta designers Cate Dunning and Lathem Gordon suggest layering a duvet and coverlet for a more luxurious look. Having one “boom-pow” statement pillow can make a big style difference, too.<br /><br />

“Use white as a unifying element when mixing antiques,” suggests author Susan Sully. This homeowner had a variety of antiques of different styles and from various countries. To dial down the formality of the room, the homeowner left the frame over the bed uncovered and stuck to a clean, white color palette. The result is a calming room that feels both eclectic and cohesive at the same time. <br /><br />

Botanical prints like these are fairly easy to find at thrift and antiques stores, and they can incorporate an old-fashioned luxury into the bedroom. Framed above the bed, they add a sense of nature and calm. “Painting everything ivory and white and the curtains the same color sets off the dark silhouette of the furniture,” says author Susan Sully. The Jenny Lind Spool bed, an old traveling trunk and shiplapped walls create a cozy feel. <br /><br />

When including a work space in your bedroom, forget the basic boring desk that’s often part of a hotel suite. This glass-topped desk was an outlet find by Atlanta designer Michelle Mentzer, who paired it with an acrylic Z-shaped accent table from an antiques store. She also saved on the metallic lamp, mirror and glitzy accessories at a home decor discount store.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Happy Holidays Friends,<br /><br />
How many ornaments do you need to hang on your Christmas tree? That's a great question! Ultimately the number of ornaments and decorations you will need to cover your tree will come down to tree height, size of ornaments, how much of the tree you want to cover and of course, personal preference. If this is your first tree or you're aiming to create an awe inspiring spectacle, we've created this page to provide information to make purchasing ornaments easier while also providing inspiration for your Christmas tree design. <br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Suggested Ornament Number and Size</font>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVF6WPmTnPKj_P716r3pNnnSLLYBi8cbrnJzwhY67vrTDnD7yBl11ebXbyafdke17OLj90Wd3EZ-9ZHuLjk1DgpkXs51IVHpHwr6VpjTk6T_l8CZGG2TUrktYY_ggljLaXptzck0QJARb/s555/0-Recommended+Xmas+Tree+Ornament+Chart.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: left; "><img alt="" border="0" width="500" data-original-height="261" data-original-width="555" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVF6WPmTnPKj_P716r3pNnnSLLYBi8cbrnJzwhY67vrTDnD7yBl11ebXbyafdke17OLj90Wd3EZ-9ZHuLjk1DgpkXs51IVHpHwr6VpjTk6T_l8CZGG2TUrktYY_ggljLaXptzck0QJARb/s400/0-Recommended+Xmas+Tree+Ornament+Chart.jpg"/></a></div>
The number of ornaments you choose to hang on your tree is ultimately based on personal preference and there is no exact calculation. However, using our chart can be a helpful starting point when purchasing ornaments to ensure even coverage based on your tree height. We suggest purchasing an extra box or set of ornaments in each color you choose to help ensure you have a few replacements on hand should any of your ornaments become lost or broken.<br /><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbW7WZf9a9gtMaNnJycK5wDXnCpp9hzGcZs0Ye0WR2j7Dfz0XogOMWNEYURcY_6bTTxFFWVQT82Mp01ZsQJj4QuoGIGxK6Dy1OcqRAba5VCXBmm6YIhwH2PZ9XkSe77qrD-vglCiny5Pg/s879/01.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: left; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="879" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbW7WZf9a9gtMaNnJycK5wDXnCpp9hzGcZs0Ye0WR2j7Dfz0XogOMWNEYURcY_6bTTxFFWVQT82Mp01ZsQJj4QuoGIGxK6Dy1OcqRAba5VCXBmm6YIhwH2PZ9XkSe77qrD-vglCiny5Pg/s400/01.png"/></a></div>
Mixing and matching ornaments sizes is a great way to add variety and depth to your Christmas tree design. When decorating your tree, add large or heavy ornaments to the interior of the tree where branches are thickest to protect them and add depth. Smaller ornaments work best on the tips of branches. Fill gaps in the tree with varying ornament sizes and decorations and try to keep things even. It helps to take a step back and view your progress to ensure even coverage!<br /><br />
If you have multiple trees in your home, consider decorating in different themes. Even if you stick to one theme, you can still use a variety in size and types of ornaments. Some popular themes are:
<ul>
<li>Red, green and silver
<li>Blue, white and silver
<li>Silver and gold
<li>Purple and gold
<li>Natural browns, golds, greens. Add in some birds and bears!
<li>Consider a fun separate DIY or kids tree to showcase handmade ornaments.</li></ul>
<br />
<font size="4" color="black">Personalizing Ornaments</font><br /><br />
Glass Christmas ball ornaments on ChristmasLightsEtc.com are available in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and finishes. You can decorate these ornaments to make Christmas gifts for friends and family. Personalized ornaments are also a great idea if you have a certain specific decorating scheme in mind. Decorate ornaments with paint, glitter, or ribbons and sequins. Clear ornaments can even be filled to create one of a kind designs!<br /><br />

With so many tree styles out there it is important to take your tree profile and construction into consideration when choosing ornaments. Or, if you are planning to purchase a tree, you will want to keep your ornaments and decorative preference in mind when making your selection. Remember that the size of the tree will also play a role in determining how many ornaments you will need.
<ul>
<li>If you like a tree full of ornaments, consider the Brighton Fir. Its staggered offshoots to provide lots of hanging space.
<li>Additional trees that are ideal for hanging larger ornaments include the bark-wrapped Fraser Fir and Canadian Fir trees.
<li>Trees with pinecone accents like the lifelike Hunter with downswept branches offer rustic appeal. Or choose the Hawthorne Fir with frosted tips, lights and berries.
<li>If you have heavy ornaments that need sturdy branches or you clip ornaments to the branches, the Sequoia Fir tree is your best pick. The elegant Sequoia Fir has extra durable tip and branch construction while still offering room for hanging.</li></ul>
<br />
<font size="4" color="black">Dos and Don'ts of Christmas Tree Decorating</font>
<ul>
<li>Do place ornaments evenly throughout the tree
<li>Don't forget the back or the bottom of the tree
<li>Don't use so many ornaments that tree looks cluttered
<li>Don't put breakable ornaments at the bottom of tree if you have pets or small children that might pull them off.
<li>Do add matching ornaments to garland and wreaths to keep your decorating style consistent throughout the room or house
<li>Don't be afraid to place different sizes of ornaments together on the tree.</li></ul>
<br />
Enjoy family and good friends...

Hi Friends,<br />
<br />
As a child, one of my favorite ways to count down the 25 days leading up to Christmas was to make a construction paper chain-link advent “calendar.” Each day I’d (impatiently) tear off a chain until 24 green-and-red strips of paper lay in the floor, letting me know it was time for Santa’s arrival. If you want to keep it ultra-simple this year with construction paper and glue, then more power to you (I always loved ripping off those paper links). But we have two chic and creative advent calendar ideas — one modern and one traditional — that are sure to make this holiday season memorable for the entire family.<br />
<br />
We often picture an advent calendar strung up the banister or across the mantel. But, what about as a centerpiece? Jessica Wilcox of Modern Moments Designs covered sweetly wrapped gifts, ribbons and ornaments with a vintage chicken-wire cloche dome and attached printable Christmas tags to represent the 25-day countdown. Each day, let the kids remove a tag from the dome and open a gift. With each tag removed, simply replace with the next consecutive number. The interactive display will make dinnertime even more exciting during the holidays.<br />

For those who love traditional charm and vintage style, we have the perfect advent calendar that looks especially lovely wrapped around the Christmas tree or up the banister. To create this holiday countdown keepsake, print 24 different, antique-inspired images onto fused linen and freezer paper and paint a number onto the bottom corner of each to represent the days of Christmas. Sew pockets into each image to hold treats and surprises for each day, and then tie each pocket together to create a long banner. Get the full how-to for the Vintage Garland Advent Calendar below:<br />
<br />
<b>How to Make a Vintage Garland Advent Calendar</b><br />
<br />
Linen, ribbon and vintage printables come together in this advent calendar, which is sure to become a family tradition.<br />
<br />
<b>Materials Needed:</b><br />
1 1/2 yards cream linen<br />
all-purpose coordinating thread<br />
sharp scissors<br />
rotary cutter and mat (optional)<br />
freezer paper<br />
iron<br />
ruler<br />
pencil<br />
computer and printer<br />
photo editing software<br />
sewing machine<br />
graphics or pictures<br />
10 yards grosgrain ribbon<br />
no-fray glue<br />
acrylic paint<br />
1.0 artist liner brush<br />
<br />
<b>Cut Linen</b><br />
Using a piece of standard printer paper as a template, cut out 13 pieces of linen and 13 pieces of freezer paper. Tip: Freezer paper must be used for this project, not wax or parchment paper.<br />
<br />
<b>Iron Fabric and Paper</b><br />
Place one piece of linen face down on ironing board. Put the plastic coating of the freezer paper face down onto linen. Press paper onto fabric using an iron set on high until they are fused. Trim any overhanging freezer paper or fabric, if necessary. Repeat with 12 other pieces of linen and paper.<br />
<br />
<b>Edit and Print Graphics</b><br />
Save 25 different vintage holiday graphics as jpg files. Make sure photos are either all vertical or all horizontal. Use photo editing software to crop all graphics to 3-1/2" x 5". Print each graphic on one page set at 3-1/2" x 5". Place fused linen and freezer paper into an ink jet printer oriented so the graphic will print on the fabric side. The image should be printed on the top left corner. Flip the fabric to print a second image on the bottom right corner. Note: All graphics used in this project are available for free at <a href="http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Cut Pockets</b><br />
Using scissors or a rotary cutter, cut each piece of linen into four equal parts (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). Trim pieces to center graphics, leaving at least a 1/4-inch border. Pair the printed pieces of linen with blank pieces of linen.<br />
<br />
<b>Paint Numbers</b><br />
Mix equal parts red and burnt umber acrylic craft paint. Use a 1.0 liner brush to paint numbers 1-25 in the corner of each pocket. Allow paint to dry. Tip: Sketch numbers lightly with a pencil prior to painting.<br />
<br />
<b>Glue Raw Edge</b><br />
Apply no-fray glue to the top edge of each pocket. Fold down the freezer paper to act as a stand as the glue dries. <b>Tip: </b>Some no-fray glues can cause ink to run. To prevent this, pour glue onto a paper plate and dip very top edge of each pocket into the glue for a more controlled application.<br />
<br />
<b>Sew Pockets</b><br />
Separate the freezer paper from the linen. Assemble pockets with right sides facing out. Cut 50 lengths of grosgrain ribbon to approximately eight inches each. Insert ribbon between two pieces of linen in the upper right corner. Sew along the graphic, ensuring ribbon is sewn into the pocket as well. Rotate the pocket and sew the bottom. Rotate again and sew up the left side. Insert ribbon at the upper left corner and finish sewing the pocket.<br />
<br />
<b>Fray and Trim Pockets</b><br />
Gently pull threads from pocket edges to create a frayed border. Trim excess threads. Apply no-fray glue to raw edges of ribbon and allow to dry. Fill the pockets with candy and small presents to build the anticipation of Christmas day. Tip: This advent calendar can be used in a variety of ways. Tie on new pockets each day to increase the length of the banner or start the month with a full banner and remove the pockets at the end of each day. Since it's a long banner, it's ideal for wrapping around a Christmas tree or draping along a banister.<br />

For this year's Christmas countdown, give your family daily surprises they'll devour. Using a sweet, holiday-inspired fabric, create miniature sacks to fill with delicious treats. After filling, add a corresponding countdown number, tie twine around the top to seal the sack and hang from the tree. Each day will leave everyone waiting in anticipation for another scrumptious Christmas treat.<br />

This advent calendar idea is simple and perfect for last-minute crafters. Melaine Thompson of My Sweet Savannah stenciled 24 numbers onto manila shipping tags and added glittery adornments. Each day, as Christmas draws closer and closer, the kids take off an ornament and place it on the tree. <br />

Share My Craft user Cathe Holden reused vintage thread spools to create a one-of-a-kind holiday advent calendar in her home. On each spool she added a numbered wrap with a special note or a clue to a hidden gift. Cathe, a passionate crafter and designer, displayed her Christmas countdown on a vintage, modified spool holder. Cathe also suggests creating individual, numbered spool ornaments for the tree, or stringing the entire set together to create an advent calendar garland.<br />

This traditional, felt advent calendar is the perfect addition to a child's bedroom door over the holidays. By using simple and inexpensive materials, each child can have a calendar of their own.

If you're looking for thanksgiving craft ideas why not create a showstopping mantelpiece garland? A cascading design full of the colors of fall is guaranteed to wow dinner guests and will bring uplifting color during the grey days.<br /><br />
To create a similar design first forage for foliage and then layer the individual stems into a long thin vessel filled with florist's foam. For best results choose an array of different types of foliage and stem sizes to create a whimsical look.<br /><br />
'If a traditional red and gold theme resonates, wintery red hydrangea adds both opulence and warmth, and pairs perfectly with burnt beech, and fresh pine which can be sourced locally or foraged in the garden. To complete a perfect garland, use a mixture of everlasting fillers, such as Pampas grass and pinecones, amongst the fresh foliage that will dry gorgeously by the fire to be enjoyed throughout the Christmas season,’ notes luxury florist Ronny Colbie.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">3. Lay a beautiful table

Feasting is at the heart of Thanksgiving, so if you have time try to make the table look extra special.<br /><br />
For a thanksgiving centerpiece that is beautifully seasonal and easy to create, arrange a selection of pumpkins in different sizes and colors along the center of the table and decorate with vases filled with autumnal foliage, as demonstrated here by Oka.<br /><br />
These may have to be moved off the table to make way for the all-important turkey and to prevent them from getting in the way of conversation, but that's no problem as they will make a beautiful display on a sideboard along with your best Thanksgiving decorations.<br /><br />

Take inspiration from the colors and textures of fall to create a beautiful table setting for guests. A pretty tablecloth will instantly bring a sense of occasion and for a thanksgiving table centerpiece there's no need to go all out, just placing fruit and pine cones and twinkling tea lights along the middle is enough to bring the table to life.<br /><br />
In this Thanksgiving table setting idea jute placemats bring a rustic feel while copper tumblers bring a lovely warming glow in the candlelight.<br /><br />
'We love making our tablescaping as natural as possible and using pine cone decorations and beautiful fall-colored leaves is a great way to make it a bit more special. Scatter them along the middle of the table and add candles of different heights to create a warm glow,' says Sarah Kostoris, founder of homeware brand Sarah K.<br /><br />

Set the scene for a cozy gathering indoors by welcoming your guests with a beautiful wreath. To differentiate from your upcoming Christmas edition, choose a wreath style that majors in autumnal motifs like pumpkins, bare branches, and rust-colored leaves while adding just a touch of holiday sparkle with a bouncing red bow. <br /><br />
Alternatively, go all-in with the Thanksgiving theme and riff on the bird that will likely take center stage at your family meal. This spectacular wreath is made using stunning striped pheasant feathers. <br /><br />

‘Thanksgiving for us is three days of meals altogether with our grown children and their babies, plus various guests, on Bray’s Island in South Carolina,’ says interior designer Beth Webb. Feasting is arguably the most important part of the holiday, meaning that the dinner table should be where you concentrate your decor efforts. <br /><br />
For a centerpiece take inspiration from nature and look to harvest fruit, vegetables, or foraged items from your local woodland. Alternatively, keep it contemporary with unique colorways or a pared-back Scandinavian style. ‘Adding your own style to your table setting is important,’ says Jessica Hanley, founder of Piglet In Bed, who designed this tablescape in collaboration with Olive & Co. ‘It's an opportunity to showcase some new pieces you might have discovered recently, and helps create a vibrant atmosphere with pops of color.’<br /><br />

The floral flourishes shouldn’t stop at the wreath on your door – if you're looking for Thanksgiving party ideas consider greeting your guests with a statement piece of celebratory decor in your entrance hall.

‘It wouldn’t be fall without a pumpkin, but there are more possibilities than the typical orange ones,’ says Carmel Donohue, founder of Poppy Belle Florals. Pumpkins may have been central to your Halloween decor, but their time is not over. Think about how to make a pumpkin planter as a centerpiece to your Thanksgiving table, or consider giving your faux ones a festive reimagining with a lick of paint. <br /><br />
‘Colored pumpkins are a vibe this autumn, so have fun getting the spray paints out and being creative. Mix and match your homemade creations with the range of decorative pumpkins from [the likes of] TK Maxx and Homesense to incorporate different colors, sizes, and textures into your doorscape. Whether you want to add one or ten to your display, eclectic pumpkins are the perfect finishing touch.’<br /><br />

Offering your diners a welcome drink on arrival is the first step in being a consummate host. But for times when you’re busy in the kitchen, keep your guests entertained and with a full glass in hand by creating a drinks station or small home bar. Cover a console table with a colored tablecloth for understated grandeur, and set the scene by framing artwork – here, made from wallpaper panels – with generous limbs of greenery. <br /><br />
‘I love to set up a Bloody Mary 'station' for Thanksgiving,’ says home decor designer Joanna Buchanan. ‘The drinks are just the right color and there are so many festive and colorful add-ins that guests can select from. Of course, be sure to add a fun selection of cocktail picks so people can mark their glasses.’<br /><br />

While excitement brews for the turkey’s arrival at the dinner table, whet your guest’s appetite by dotting feathered friends around your decor. Birds make for a beautiful theme for fall decor ideas, with rust-colored game birds like pheasants the perfect muse. In this living room, a marble mantel is surrounded by a beautiful watercolor-painted wallpaper featuring birds. For something a little more impermanent, consider adding feathers to your floral arrangements, or bringing out the bird and nest-shaped ornaments. <br /><br />

After all that dinner, you’re going to need a spot for a light snooze. There is simply no better spot to recline in the colder months than in front of the fireplace, so make sure this feels like an even more special part of the home with festive fall mantel ideas. Here, the fire’s warmth is boosted by an array of candles and sparkling wreaths atop the mantelpiece. <br /><br />
Dressing and accessorizing the space around the fireplace can be key to making the best of it. A large fireplace, offset by a symmetrical arrangement of chairs, is a tried-and-tested classic and makes an inviting setting to sit in front of. <br /><br />

‘Fill your room with warming autumnal scents like pumpkin and cinnamon spice for the complete autumn experience,’ says Hanley. ‘You can light candles in your desired scent as well as use natural diffusers for a subtle scent that isn't too overpowering.’ <br /><br />
Thanksgiving is certainly the time to get out your best reed diffusers or fill bowls with scented pine cone decorations and dried orange peel, but it might be that all that cooking helps to do the job for you. ‘If artificial scents aren't your thing, you can create your scents naturally by baking a seasonal cake, cooking some nuts, or even mulling some wine,’ says Hanley. ‘Get in the kitchen and make your favorite autumnal dish.’ <br /><br />

It’s easy to get so preoccupied with your dining table decor ideas at Thanksgiving that you forget about the space around them. <br /><br />
‘Not only do you want your guests to be comfortable when sat at your gorgeous tablescape, but making your chairs look comfy is perfect for achieving that cozy autumnal look,’ says Hanley. ‘Decorate your chairs and benches with some cushions and maybe even throws which guests can remove if they wish to. Pick cushion colors that complement your color scheme and match the fabrics you have already used on the table for consistency's sake.’ <br /><br />
In this example, upholstered chairs in a color that doesn’t exactly fit in with a traditional festive scheme are given a holiday makeover with bunches of pine branches and cones, tied up with a red bow to complement the rest of the decor. <br /><br />

‘Everyone looks better in a warm glow,’ says interior designer Benji Lewis. ‘Lighting is one of the easiest ways to create a cozy atmosphere.’ Reaching for the dimmer switch and scattering your best candles throughout the living spaces is absolutely essential to creating a romantic holiday atmosphere in your home this Thanksgiving. <br /><br />
‘If you don’t have a fireplace to hunker down next to, try using ambient lighting in the form of table lamps and floor lights,’ adds Lewis. ‘The only reason you should ever use an overhead light over the coming months is to get ready in festive sequins.<br /><br />

‘Pampas has been a dominant trend throughout the summer and this isn’t going to change anytime soon,’ says Donohue. ‘Bring the fall harvest feeling into your home with these tall fluffy stems, which add both texture and height to any area.’ <br /><br />
For an on-trend look, pampas grass is a great addition to dried floral displays, or as a standalone statement, that can work all across the home and, as demonstrated here, among your fall porch ideas. <br /><br />
‘Suitable for a mantlescape, shelfscape, tablescape, or a larger display set on the floor, this subtle stem is a seasonal must, and the neutral shades will flatter your existing décor,’ says Donohue. <br /><br />

There’s nothing quite like being pleasantly full and wrapped up in a blanket, with nowhere else you need to be for the rest of the day. To make that dream come true for all your guests this Thanksgiving, ensure your seasonal soft furnishings are ready and waiting to envelop them in comfort. <br /><br />
Blankets, throws, and cushions that embrace the shades of traditional fall color schemes are a must-have in your living spaces, for the evening’s relaxed festivities, as demonstrated in this living room designed by Beth Webb. Ensure you swap your lighter summer blankets for heavier fall ones in wool or similar for maximum coziness. <br /><br />
<font size="5" color="black">What is Thanksgiving, and why is it celebrated?
</font><br /><br />
Thanksgiving, which occurs on the fourth Thursday in November, is based on the colonial Pilgrims' 1621 harvest meal. <br /><br />
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Native Americans shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations. <br /><br />
For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.<br /><br />
The holiday continues to be a day for Americans to gather for a day of feasting, football and family.<br /><br />
<font size="5" color="black">How should I decorate my house for Thanksgiving?
</font><br /><br />
At Thanksgiving, your guests always come first – so think about what you would want and need from the day if you were the visiting party. Firstly, a bit of otherworldly dazzle and the occasional surprise is a great way to take your guest’s minds away from work and into the holiday spirit. Welcome them with a wreath or floral display in the entrance hall, and dot low-key elements of fun around the living spaces, or leave little gifts in the guest bedrooms. <br /><br />
The center of your attention should, however, be the dinner table. Think about adding a centerpiece or runner to elevate it from your usual dinner party decor, and include candles or just a little touch of sparkle to create both warmth and the sense of a special occasion. <br /><br />
<font size="5" color="black">What are some common Thanksgiving decorations?
</font><br /><br />
Sitting between Halloween and the Christmas season, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to embrace fall and harvest decor ideas. Using pumpkins to decorate is popular but also looks to nature and decorate with foraged foliage, pine cones dried oranges and fall fruits.<br /><br />
'It is all about celebrating the beauty and bounty of the season so do lots of layering and use different heights of serving plates and candlesticks to create a welcoming, homely, yet glamorous setting,' says Sam Hood, co-founder of Amara.<br /><br />
Seasonal wreaths and garlands are perfect for both indoors and outdoors, plus you can't go wrong with lanterns and candles.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving Friends,<br /><br />
Yes, it's that time again. Hopefully, you have enjoyed this year as it will soon be coming to an end and 2024 is in our near future. The Holidays are the time of year we gather with friends and family; but it can also be very expensive. Today we are sharing some budget-friendly ideas compliments of Kallie Branciforte. Thanks, Kallie!<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Keep it Neutral
</font><br /><br />
Buy staples in neutral colors so they work for many holidays. I have white plates and gold chargers. Then, you can add little bits of holiday color in things like name cards, ribbon on the candles, etc.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Skip the Tablecloth
</font><br /><br />
Formal tablecloths can make things feel too stuffy, and can be expensive just to get gravy spilled all over! Opt for just a table runner or even better, get a roll of butcher block paper at the Dollar Tree.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Make Mini Floral Arrangements
</font><br /><br />
Skip the big, expensive bouquets and just grab a few inexpensive stems from the grocery store and make mini bouquets. This allows you to get more bang for your buck and avoids oversized floral arrangements that make it hard to see the person across from you.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Use Things Already in Your House
</font><br /><br />
Stick to inexpensive stems like carnations, daisies, babies’ breath, greenery, and roses. Or, buy one larger bouquet but then break it down into 4-5 smaller ones. And, don’t feel like you need to buy vases. I just use glasses from my kitchen cabinet.<br /><br />
Shop your house for decorations. As mentioned above, I use drinking glasses as vases. Look for small bowls and shelf decor that you can repurpose for your tablescape. No need to buy a bunch of stuff for a single use.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Embrace Mismatched Styles
</font>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwQoH7oCkBEUGCUm_YCeyviQ4IC-zVbmA-pmIUHk7TlbMl7okEnUj-M0uzVzvKQrkd1MT6BdQ_nmac60DS1Pf5lODxjTc0pNl_y2wIWUUY6cH3_94oq0LTvoA8UMQt1C745JFjNcEatAPktrHSvDbgNmkltOIXDswqhlxKIHtWH_IkhoAYZxpz-IshIBTg/s2048/2.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: left; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="1641" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwQoH7oCkBEUGCUm_YCeyviQ4IC-zVbmA-pmIUHk7TlbMl7okEnUj-M0uzVzvKQrkd1MT6BdQ_nmac60DS1Pf5lODxjTc0pNl_y2wIWUUY6cH3_94oq0LTvoA8UMQt1C745JFjNcEatAPktrHSvDbgNmkltOIXDswqhlxKIHtWH_IkhoAYZxpz-IshIBTg/s320/2.webp"/></a></div>
One of the more expensive parts of a tablescape is getting everything to match – such as having a full set of matching glasses or napkins. Instead, I say embrace the mismatched style a little. Purposefully do 4 of one wine glasses and 4 of another, give everyone a different napkin, have different salad plates, etc. This allows you to shop what you already have an avoid having to buy full new sets.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Get Dollar Tree Chargers
</font><br /><br />
Dollar Tree sells plate chargers and I’ve had my set for 6 years. I use them for every holiday and they immediately elevate the tablescape! It’s probably the best $12 I’ve spent on hosting.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Level-up with Place Cards
</font><br /><br />
The only time you ever get name place cards is at very special events like weddings. By using place cards at a dinner at home, it makes it feel SO special. And, you can do it for basically nothing. These little mini chalkboards are a set of 20 for $7. Plus, you can use them year after year!<br /><br />
Another thing I’ve done is place cards with little conversation starters on the back. It’s such a fun idea to get fun conversations started at Thanksgiving dinner.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">ALL THE CANDLES
</font><br /><br />
Candles are SO affordable when you buy simple whites – I get them at the Dollar Tree. Having a smattering of flickering candles makes any tablescape look elevated. You don’t even need holders, just light them as is, or get little votives for under $1 each at IKEA or the dollar store. I say you can’t have too many!<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Let the Food Be the Centerpiece
</font><br /><br />
At the end of it all, there’s usually A LOT of food on the table, so don’t overload your table with decor. All the beautiful dishes can take the spotlight.<br /><br />
Bon Appétit

<br /><br />Happy Halloween Friends,<br /><br />
Before the fun begins, here are a few ways to keep your trick-or-treaters safe.<br /><br />
Kids love Halloween because this spooky holiday is all about fun, candy, costumes and more candy. From parties and parades to trick-or-treating, kids of all ages will be out and celebrating this season. However, while Halloween is meant for fun, it is also important to stay vigilant. So, here’s a few tips to keep all of your ghosts and goblins safe.<br /><br />
<ul>
<li>Before your kids head out the door to trick-or-treat, give them an extra reason to shine with glow-in-the dark necklaces and bracelets, or a flashlight. These accessories are festive and, more importantly, they are a great way to make road crossing much safer.
<li>If your older kids are trick-or-treating without you, be sure they leave with a group of friends. Remind them to avoid houses that don’t have a front porch light on and set a strict curfew or a meeting place to go to if they get lost.
<li>Kids are excited to hit up a few houses for candy on Halloween, but remind everyone to stay on the sidewalk, stay off the road and cross the street with an adult.
<li>Before the parties and parades begin, make sure your kids’ costumes are ready. Can they see out of their masks—what’s in front of them and side-to-side? Can they walk in their costume without tripping or falling? If they have accessories, like swords or staffs, make sure they are soft and easy to carry. Also, make sure you give all Halloween makeup a test run to avoid allergic reactions on the big night.
<li>All trick-or-treaters want a ton of candy, but make sure your kids know that there is no need to go inside a home to get some. Staying on the front porch is the perfect place to collect Halloween goodies.
<li>Be sure to snap a lot of pictures of your kiddos all dressed up as monsters, princesses and superheroes, but put the phone down and keep your head up while trick-or-treating to avoid distractions.
<li>It can be tempting to eat the candy right away. However, make it a rule that your kids must let you check their stash before they have a few sweet treats. Toss any candy that is unwrapped and double check labels for kids with food allergies.
<li>Get your house ready for trick-or-treaters by removing items from your steps or the walkway to your home.
<li>If you are driving on Halloween, remember to stay alert and avoid distractions like your phone. Drive slowly and be aware of trick-or-treaters.
</li></ul>
<br />
Be Safe!

<br />Hi Friends,<br /><br />
Hope everyone enjoyed the hot days of Summer and ready to welcome Autumn with opened arms. We have a lot of great ideas in the coming weeks and look forward to sharing them with all our friends...<br /><br />
Now that the Fall season is almost upon us! The leaves are about to start changing, the days will get shorter, and mornings will grow chillier and crisp as summer fades away. And though we will miss long summer days and warm nights, we have a brand new, exciting season approaching! So why not start thinking about some fun outdoor activities you can do to celebrate the coming of autumn?? Here are a few…<br /><br />
<b>10 Outdoor Activities to Kick Off the Autumn Season!</b><br /><br />
1. Attend a Barn Dance. Whether it’s contra dancing or square dancing, hoedowns are a great way to spend fall evenings and nights. Have a blast and work up a sweat in the cold, autumn night air while you dance along to foot-tapping bluegrass and fiddle music!<br /><br />
2. Go Mountain Biking. Okay, so you can mountain bike at any time of the year (except maybe the dead of winter…ice and snow are no bueno for your tires). But there’s something about the chilly air and bright orange, red, and yellow leaves all around you that makes biking during the fall so amazing.<br /><br />
3. Take a Scenic Drive. Early to mid-fall is one of the prettiest times of the year, as the trees still have most of their leaves which have turned vibrant with the coming cold. This is the one of the best times to take a drive through the woods, around town, or through the mountains.<br /><br />
4. Go Pumpkin Picking. Fall season means one thing – pumpkin season! Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and many other places around town start selling pumpkin foods, drinks, and products to welcome in the season. You will also be able to find whole pumpkins all over town, whether you want to go pick your own at a patch or get one from the store. If you do take a trip to your local pumpkin patch, you can do many fun, free activities that they offer, like hay rides, corn mazes, and petting zoos. Make a jack-o-lantern with your new prized pumpkin and be sure to keep the seeds so you can roast them! Yumm.<br /><br />
5. Host a Bonfire. Shorter days and cooler weather make perfect ingredients for a bonfire. Grill out, have a tub of hot apple cider, and don’t forget s’more fixings!<br /><br />
6. Go Climbing. One of the best times of the year to rock climb is during the fall. As leaves begin to drop and greenery wanes in anticipation for winter, rock faces become more exposed. Cooler weather also means fewer bugs zipping around your face as you make your way up the cliff!<br /><br />
7. Do Some Photography. Bright multi-colored leaves, teaming autumn wildlife, colorful pumpkins and gourds, and clear, sunny days make for great photo ops. See what amazing autumn things you can capture on your camera!<br /><br />
8. Go Camping. Cooler, dryer weather means fewer bugs and fewer people, so fall is one of the best times to go camping. Just remember your cold weather hammocking gear, and you’ll be toasty and comfy in the chilly autumn air!<br /><br />
9. Visit an Orchard. ’Tis the season for apple picking! The prime months for ripe apples is September and October, and most local orchards open their doors to the public during this time to do some picking. Just think of all the pies, apple butter, cider, and applesauce you can make! And even if you’re not a big apple-eater, just strolling through the trees in the cool fall weather is a great way to spend the day!<br /><br />
10. Play Some Pick-Up Football. Labor Day weekend officially kicked off football season, so what better way to celebrate that than to play some football yourself? Grab family and friends and head out to the park or backyard for some down-set-hike!

Move the festivities outside to play this oversized version of tic-tac-toe that uses orange and white petite pumpkins in the place of x's and o's. To recreate at home, use decorative duct tape to create a grid on a flat area, like a driveway or patio, then place pumpkins in a basket or stack them up beside the gameboard.<br /><br />

This oversized version of the classic college party game is reimagined for family fun. To play, set up 10 plastic candy buckets in a pyramid shape on the lawn and fill each bucket with rocks or sand. Standing about 6 feet from the first bucket, players take turns trying to toss a Ping-Pong ball into the buckets, removing a bucket each time they score. The player with the most buckets at the end wins.<br /><br />

Games with prizes, especially food prizes, tend to keep kids entertained. Using sandwich cookies, see who can stack the most cookies in one minute without the stack falling over. Reward the winner with candy or a small Halloween trinket. Hosting a lot of kids? Try putting together a cookie-stacking tournament!<br /><br />

Take a page from the book of classic carnival games to fashion this fun, almost-free can toss. Clean out 10 metal soup cans, cover them in sparkly orange cardstock and add fun jack-o'-lantern faces with a marker or black cardstock. Stack the cans in a pyramid shape on top of some hay bales and let the bean bag tossing begin! The player to knock down the most cans in five rounds wins.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Happy Labor Day Friends,<br /><br />
Learn the proper way to display the stars and stripes. You'll want to flag these tips for later.<br /><br />
Take inspiration from these star-spangled homes and show your patriotic colors. But first, check out these tips for hanging the American flag properly on the Fourth of July (and every other day of the year).<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Flag-Flying Rules
</font>
<ul>
<li>Flags are meant to be displayed from sunrise to sunset. You can fly one at night, but if you do, it should be illuminated.
<li>The flag should never touch the ground, the floor or anything that may sit beneath it, including tables, chairs, railings and bushes.
<li>There’s a difference between half-staff and half-mast. "Half-mast" technically refers to a flag flown on a ship's mast, while "half-staff" describes flags flown on land, though they're commonly used interchangeably. (Flags should be flown at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day.)
<li>It’s against the official Flag Code to hang a tattered flag. If yours is in bad shape, you can wash, dry-clean and/or sew it.
<li>Unsalvageable flags should be dropped off at a local American Legion or VFW office for retirement, or burned discreetly.</li></ul>

Karri Perry (@blueribbonfavorites), a blogger in West Chester, Ohio, used floral foam to secure small flags in a hanging basket on her door. “More is definitely better,” she says. Add a few rocks so the basket doesn’t blow in the wind.<br /><br />

Blogger Kelly Elko (@kelly.elko) transformed a section of wood fencing into a flag for her Summit, New Jersey, house. She cut it down to 13 pickets, painted the stripes and square, then added a clamshell wreath for the stars.<br /><br />

“I wish I could go even bigger!” says designer Chrissie Anthony Haim (@chrissiehomeanddesign) of the 4-foot-by-6-foot flag adorning her Locust Valley, New York, home. It stays put from Memorial Day to Veterans Day, and a spotlight shines on it at night. Good to know: When displaying a flag vertically, the blue square (called the Union) must be in the observer’s top left.<br /><br />

Bunting is an easy and affordable way to get in the spirit, says Spotsylvania County, Virginia, blogger Kathryn Packard (@kathrynpackard), who snagged these online for $25 each. “Be sure it’s outdoor material, so it can get wet and won’t fade,” she says. And look for bunting with grommets so you can easily hang it from hooks or zip ties.<br /><br />
Fly it high with pride...

There is nothing better than serving homemade treats to friends and family. If you are looking for a fuss-free recipe just in time for the holiday, try our red, white and beautiful naked cake. These cakes are still on trend — I’ve created several variations over the years and today, I wanted to share an easy tutorial on making this popular dessert. Once you’re done baking and assembling the cakes, decorate them with your favorite seasonal fruit! <br /><br />

Choose your favorite cake mix and bake in pans according to directions. Prepare the cakes as close to the event as possible to retain freshness. Before removing them from their pans, let them cool.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Place and Dust
</font>

Place the first cake layer on the cake stand. Using a sifter, lightly dust each cake with powdered sugar. Repeat dusting with each layer.<br /><br />
<font size="4" color="black">Frost the Cake
</font>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GD_clZfvoQ77BFfG470gHOeqCrH_ckPR66PgZjRIJmj0eoNRA8Lypo2We9YgmZdWcf5wOwkpuuufFU27F9kTV1ZAJhA17Mpf6zX184FUMcb0C99INgV9MD-EHas0ehHROFhV5xhr69_7t-UxI8gGoblFOXA_Md3sjqEYmZu6bFp7O3PrOqILsdBZ4r23/s862/4.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: left; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="862" data-original-width="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GD_clZfvoQ77BFfG470gHOeqCrH_ckPR66PgZjRIJmj0eoNRA8Lypo2We9YgmZdWcf5wOwkpuuufFU27F9kTV1ZAJhA17Mpf6zX184FUMcb0C99INgV9MD-EHas0ehHROFhV5xhr69_7t-UxI8gGoblFOXA_Md3sjqEYmZu6bFp7O3PrOqILsdBZ4r23/s320/4.jpeg"/></a></div>
Insert the round piping tip into the pastry bag and fill with vanilla buttercream. Apply firm pressure on the pastry bag to frost an even layer on top of the cake. Work in a circular motion, from the outside edge to the center. Carefully place a second cake layer on top of the frosting, making sure the layers are even. Frost with buttercream and repeat until you have reached your desired cake height.<br /><br />

Save a bottom layer for last, and stack it upside down. Use the naturally flat bottom as the top of your cake to keep things level.<br /><br />
Once it is finished, decorate with some fresh fruit, serve and enjoy!

Americana colors & a few nautical nods = a winning setting for any summer soiree. For a traditional look that feels fresh, set your table with a mix of new and old items while keeping the focus on the tried-and-true: red, white and blue.<br /><br />

Swap disposable paper napkins for reusable and budget-friendly bandanas. Check your local dollar or craft store — they’re typically $1 each — or save even more by buying them in bulk online.<br /><br />

An umbrella over an outdoor dining table is great for providing shade but it also presents a problem: where to put the centerpiece. Skip a single arrangement and instead surround the pole with an assortment of containers filled with flowers. No need to buy expensive vases; use what you have — like an old blue canning jar — then fill with summer blooms and greenery clipped from your backyard.<br /><br />

Lanterns do double-duty to carry the red, white and blue theme while also providing soft mood lighting after the sun sets. Fill with remote-control battery-operated candles for fuss-free flames that you can extinguish with the push of a button.<br /><br />

Free yourself from mixologist duties by whipping up a big batch of white wine sangria or lemonade before guests arrive.

Enjoy your Labor Day with family, friends, and neighbors.

<br /><br />Hi Friends,<br /><br />
Worried you have way too much dreary shade cover or far too much-beaming sunlight to successfully grow plants in your yard or home? No such thing! No matter the condition, there’s most certainly a plant you can count on to breathe life into your space, inside or out. <br /><br />
Choosing the best indoor and outdoor plants can be daunting. The right lighting can really make or break your plants. Sure, some plants are hardy enough to grow no matter the circumstances, but to grow your plants to their fullest potential, pay particular attention to the amount of sun—or shade—they require.<br /><br />
