Is it a swag or a wreath? If you are looking for styrofoam swag chances are you will either have to cut it out from a larger piece (could get$$$) or use a 22 gage wire to connect pieces together. You can cut styrofoam easily. But you have to be sure to hide all the white! Don't spray paint it at all--the paint just 'eats' the foam. I hate them but hot glueing to grapevine wreaths or swags does work well--and if you find the vines for free--better yet! Good Luck! Tootles

Of course those that know me will understand one of my trees. I have a Disney tree with lots of timkerbells, characters and other unique Disney ornaments. I also have a tree that has the ornaments of my childhood and vintage ornaments from my grandmother. Ir is my memory tree. I add special ornaments to it to remind me of things Lee and I have done and I add ornaments that remind me of my parents and our old time Christmas. I try to hand ornaments on all my potted plants and I am beginning to theme them in Disney stuff and also in the ornaments from the various countries at Epcot. I also have a Christmas tree outside for the birds with special apples with peanut butter, etc. I am not feeling too well this Christmas and with the worry about Kurt I am finding it difficult to get into the spirit, but I am making an effort for my husband and Smokey. We do have a kitty tree. I collect angels and have an angel tree and adore glass ornaments and collect lots of them for a glass tree. I am going to attempt to take some pictures as I need them for my portfolio and also to share with you guys. I can take anybody into Disney for several weekends prior to Christmas week if you wish to visit the Biosphere and see the lights at MGM etc. Linda

Party, I don't know how you can say you're not much of a decorator. I think you did fine. Even tho I'm a "more is better" person, I still enjoy and appreciate simplicity too. Your wreath makes a lovely statement with those tendrils and a sprig of berries. I love it. And your basket arrangement, with the broom's pop of color, is very appealing. The spider web vignette outside is a hoot! Its neat your runner and the mums' vase are homemade. Of course the best part is getting to see REAL Fall trees, I sure don't get them here in Phoenix. Everything stays green and no actual seasons. Mother Nature's paintings are always masterpieces, but her Fall ones are my favorite! hugs, Karen
