Greetings from Budget Decor at BellaOnline.com!

I hope this newsletter finds you well! Seems like fall is in full swing in Virginia with winter just over the horizon. We actually turned on the heat the other night and when I went outside there was that enticing winter "smell" in the air.

These cooler temperatures are giving me the holiday decorating itch. Last year I started decorating for the holidays at the end of October, something I used to put off until Thanksgiving weekend. I'm thinking about starting early again this year. What about you? Come by the Budget Decor forum and let me know when the holiday decorating bug hits you!

Meanwhile, here's the latest 2 articles featured at the Budget Decor site at BellaOnline.com. Since this is the time of year when folks tend to entertain more often, I thought it would be fun to share some ideas I use to decorate the table for holiday get-togethers. A lot of people are really into creating crafts during the holidays too, so for my other article I focused on ideas to help you make your craft space more attractive and meaningful. I hope you enjoy them. I welcome your comments and feedback at the forum, too!
