Rachel is the home decorator around here. She generally comes up with the best ideas for furniture arrangements, and she manages to put together a room that looks like it was designed, instead of looking like it is made up of the miscellaneous stuff we happen to have (which, of course, is closer to the truth).
We have several storage boxes full of Christmas items, including the tree and it's ornaments, of course, as well as various bells, ribbons, fabrics, etc, which could be decorations in the hands of someone with a flair for this. We are fortunate to have Rachel's abilities to liven up our holidays.
Here are some of her creations:
The dining room light is wrapped with gold garland and hung with glass balls.
This is one of my favorites. Rachel took apart some woven placemats we never use (we didn't have enough for the entire family) to make this 'ribbon,' and she hung tiny glass balls on it.
Tiny gold bells are strung on gold cord to decorate the everyday fruit basket.
Rachel was working on decorating this basket - she had the pearls on, and had a napkin serving as a liner - when the cat decided that this was his basket. His unspoken ownership of the basket was already apparent to all, so Rachel attached his name to the handle.
Isn't Rachel doing a great job with this? More examples of her work will follow in a future post!

I love it! That is exactly the kind of stuff I used to do when I was a teenager. My parents would get home from work and the house would be redone in some way. Especially with the holiday stuff.
So I went to college for Interior Design. Ha!
I like the ribbon too. Good work!
Nice work, Rachel.
