This was ridiculously easy. I’m not kidding. My girlfriend did one a few years ago and I’d been wanting to try it, but not enough to go out and buy a tomato cage. Then I saw this hanging out in Mom’s garage. Without tomatoes. Nothing is sacred around Christmas. Wait a minute . . . […]
More stuff on easy Christmas decorating . . .
I had a few more notes about decorating the mantel . . . easily. I was going to say simply, but it’s not really simple. But it is easy. Easy, because you just cram the stuff in there. Easy, because you use what you have, and make it work. But, simple? Uh, not exactly. You […]
Lazy Gal’s Guide to Christmas Wreath

Chocolate & Gold Christmas Tree

Christmas in Bronze, Rust & Gold
