So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Crafts and Home Accessories

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

It is fun to shop at craft fairs. People who usually come at craft fairs look for interesting bits to give away as presents for their friends, colleagues, peers or loved ones. Some people however, come at craft fairs in search for decorating items to furnish their home with.

What I will teach you now are different crafts that can be excellent accessories for your home. Candles can be bought at craft fairs and are instant dcor boosters for your homes. They come in different colors, sizes and shapes. Candles are popular accessories as they provide instant boost of dcor in any spaces. Candles are suitable to place on top of your living room coffee table, as a dining table accessory (placed on top of a table runner), or as a bathroom dcor.

Beautiful pillow cases from flea markets are also excellent pieces to beautify and decorate your home. Flea market finds are generally cheap because they are either second hand goods being sold by their previous owners or bargain items from shops. Have fun redecorating your home this spring season through matching floral pillowcases and slipcovers on your living room sofa or bedroom sheets. Try it with matching floral area rugs also purchase from craft shows.

Quilts are popular crafts items that could give instant designer boost on areas such as bedrooms and living rooms. Here is interesting information about quilt: it is also used to document history or a special occasion in ones family. Quilts like these are displayed and hanged at walls. Craft fairs or craft shows feature decorative quilts for the homes use and they are almost always handmade.

Decorative frames can give a wall an instant identity. Hand made frames are very easy to make as it will only require a playful imagination and the right material or resources to begin with. You too can make your own low-budget but elegant picture frame. Just cut up a nice image from a used newspaper (Such as landscapes, birds) and paste it onto a thick card stock. Cut them out and glue onto a thick card stock which is a shade or two darker in color. Make sure that you leave at least an inch border on all sides. Finish by placing on a cheap picture frame.
