Dear Friends,

 

December! Weren't we just celebrating the 4th of July! The more active the economy, the more important familiarity and stability become, especially in real estate. People want to know about their safest options and most promising opportunities and that the information is reliable and responsible.

 

I work hard to earn your confidence and trust, and I'm always available to help you. It's my way of providing stability for my clients. And should you direct referrals my way, I would be delighted to provide the same service, advice and assistance to the people you've entrusted to me. These days, it's important to know you can count on someone. I will be that someone!

 

Now...Back to December...Merry Christmas for sure - Happy Birthday to December Babies (me too) - but really ... Bathtub Party Day (5th), National Candy Cane Day (26th) and for some of my OLDEST friends (you'll know who you are ...) Howdy Doody Day on the 27th!!

 

Stay safe and get ready for the New Year!

Christmas Decorating Ideas 

 

Do-It-Yourself Wreath Ideas

 


Wreath Made of Edible Herbs

For food fans: Combine sage, oregano, rosemary, and bay leaves to create a culinary wreath inspired by savory holiday dishes.

Family-Picture Wreath  

Reinvent the family tree with your favorite black and white snapshots. To make your own photo arrangement, hot-glue a selection of black and white snapshots (or make copies to preserve the originals) to a wire wreath form. 

 ______________________________________________ 

 

Pinecone Wreath

Bypass traditional colors this holiday and design a rustic wreath that complements your decor. Hot-glue pinecones to a grapevine base; let dry. Paint the wreath in a hue that coordinates with your room; allow to dry. Using a clean brush, dab glue on pinecones and sprinkle with glitter; let set.
