Carrot Creek Times

I am looking forward to dressing up our home for the holidays. I'll be posting some pictures when I do. I found this picture at the Better Homes and Gardens website. They have countless decorating ideas for the holidays (although, their pop-ads to subscribe are a bit annoying).

I love the glow and smell of candles. Although I burn them year round, this is my favorite time to enjoy their scents. There is even a "Fireside" smelling candle I discovered last year. So if you don't have a fireplace, or you're not baking cookies, you're sure to find candles that will give you that ambiance.

As for flowers for your home, don't forget to step outside and see what your yard provides for free! This time of year shrubs are producing berries and trees often have stunning bark that can be trimmed and brought indoors. Just be sure to rinse them off so you don't end up with uninvited critters.

Not only does decorating your home look good, but it makes you feel good by engaging your senses. Turn on soft music, enjoy a great smelling candle, open a window to feel a breeze or hear birds chirping. It's a great way to spend an afternoon.
