JUST A THOUGHT and A PRIZE

After reading some comments and some emails, I had a THOUGHT!

That is only funny because once I start trees, the thoughts become less and less. My life then becomes a marathon. I am so thrilled that this series is helpful to so many of you. It is my privilege to give you tips that might help you in your holiday decorating. My head is full of tips that you probably have never even thought about (unless you decorate lots of trees), so I need to get them written down. I realize I probably should put the tips in better form, but I just prefer talking to you as if we were sitting across the table with a cup of coffee.
You are all my NEW and CHERISHED friends.

BUT, I do want many bloggers to benefit from them.

If you have read my blog long, you know I don't ask you to do a bunch of different things to win a giveaway. I just like to GIVE STUFF AWAY. But this one time, I am going to ask you to mention or link to my blog and the Holiday Decorating posts. Many of you need NO help and could probably give me tips, but there are so many people that just need some easy, practical, economical ways to make Christmas magic. That's my goal!!!!!

So here is the DEAL! If you mention my blog and briefly tell what the current posts are about, you will go into a drawing for a SPECIAL giveaway. (be sure and let me know you did this)

The giveaway this week will be a FREE consultation with me....(this could be the most expensive giveaway that I have done) We can do it by email, by phone, however you want to do it. I will help you plan your decorating, give you some personal tips for your specific needs, plus I will ship you a box of Christmas ornaments....Then we will show your tree or trees on my blog later in the year.
IT will work like this ....if you write about my blog or link to my blog, you will go in a drawing for the personal consult.
Then for everyone that comments this week, beginning with last nights post..and you can comment as many times as you want,ask questions,etc..... YOU will be entered in another drawing for a SPECIAL HOLIDAY TREAT. I will let Parker draw for both of these this Friday,August 28th.

If there are any of you out there in blogland that are interested in maybe doing what I do in your city, I will be glad to give you some tips on how to get started. I wish some of you lived in my city. I am always looking for extra help.
Be sure and read the post below that I posted late last night...I don't want you to miss any tips.
One day this week, I am going to share with you the most special tree that I have ever done and it is one that YOU can do too.
