It was difficult Finding Christmas this year. I didn’t put up one scarecrow at Halloween. My pair of well-worn pilgrims were not anywhere in our home at Thanksgiving. This is unusual for me. Friends and family members alike commented on the lack of my, generally abundant, holiday décor… and now, December beckons. With it the fear of a lack of Finding Christmas. As a rule, my gifts are bought and our Christmas cards are sent before the first week has passed. But this year felt different. My ... View the Post
Happy Halloween from…
Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, aka The Fashionista on her way to work. Check out the rock star footwear! The dashingly handsome Zorro. Accompanied by a French artiste. Friday afternoon found me at the school giving a few little ghouls a craft lesson. Each child was given a pile of chenille stems, fuzzy pom-poms, sequins, and spiders. Their creativity was amazing. The children were then allowed to put on their costumes. Then line up for the annual costume parade. To leave ... View the Post
My Own House of Horrors
Ok, so My Own House of Horrors is not quite as bad as this: My Own House of Horrors But I always have a ton of school projects waiting to get done and there always seems to be laundry to fold.

An Airbending Birthday Party
Like many mothers, I am at times overwhelmed with day to day family responsibilities.

I was hoping for an EASY button. Here is how I created An Airbending Birthday Party. An Airbending Birthday Party Case in point. For years Sweet Boy has been begging for a party at Peter Peppers. But when finally ... View the Post
Designing Independence
I am as patriotic as they come. I even love to use red, white and blue accents to decorate my home. It is like Designing Independence. Designing Independence I wonder if there were a design contest in which the patrPatriotspeted against the red coats would we all end up whistling “God Save The Queen”? Let’s begin with pillows. Pretty close to pillow perfection. I’m not quite sure about an Adirondack chair in the sitting room, but the mantle and mirror had me at hello. An ... View the Post
A Patriotic Party
As Gunn's, our Scottish family loves to wear its plaid! Here is A Patriotic Party. A Patriotic Party When Mr. Decor retired we were ready to celebrate. I was blessed that my airman came home from every single one of his missions. We decided to go against the average ho-hum series of speeches and put a Scottish twist on things as a nod to his heritage. His clan motto is “Either Peace or War”. Very befitting the military don’t you think? The actual ceremony was held in a hangar large ... View the Post
