Even though the weather’s turned quite cold and as much as I’d love to see a white Christmas here in Rock Hill SC, it’s probably not going to happen. I know, bummer huh? Not outside at least.
However, that doesn’t mean you can create your own white Christmas on the inside of your Rock Hill or Fort Mill home. Here are a few ideas on how you could create a white Christmas themed tree from www.amazing-christmas-ideas.com:
- Start off my spraying the tree with canned snow. You can either give it a light dusting or make it look like a heavy snowfall, it really just depends on your personal tastes.
- Use clear lights instead of colored lights. Tyrin usin a combination of standard steady glowing lights mixed with twinkling lights.
- Adorn the tree with clear, white and silver ornaments, snowflakes and glass ornament icicles.
- Use garlands or curls of white or sliver ribbon nestled in the tree. A very pale aqua blue ribbon could also be used to emulate the subtle blues of a winter landscape scene.
- Drape the tree with clear beads.
- Use sprays of red berries throughout the tree to add excitement to the winter theme. There’s nothing more beautiful than red berries peeking through the glistening snow.

Guys, looking for a good idea for a gift for your sweetheart this holiday season? Well, this isn’t really a gift giving idea as much as it’s a warning for you as you do consider potential gifts.

Courtesy of www.Amazing-Christmas-Ideas.com, here’s a great idea for putting all your Christmas cards to good use this year.
Look your cards over and decide which cards look good together. They will be different sizes. Some will open from the bottom and some will open from the side. Some won’t open at all. They will be face cards, perhaps with children’s pictures.
When I hang the cards, I don’t want them to fall open. I only want to see the pretty pictures on the front. Use double stick tape or fold over single stick tape making a loop with the sticky on the outside. Now that you have tape with two sticky sides, place the tape on the inside of the cards in one place only, near the edge. You don’t want them permanently closed, because you may want to peek inside occasionally and do a little reminiscing. If you don’t want to tape them closed, that’s okay too. Just skip this step.
Once again, using double stick tape, start placing the cards at the top of the doorframe and move across. Select the cards you think look good together. Even after you’ve placed them, you can always change your mind and rearrange them.
I like to take them all the way to the floor so the entire door is framed. If you prefer, you may take them half way or three quarters of the way down. Then as new cards arrive you can tape them to the doorframe and add to the collection.
If you want the display to look a little dressier, place a greenery swag or large bow at each corner of the doorframe. Start placing your cards after these decorations are in place.
So, what do you do with your Christmas cards?

With tonight’s NFL game between our hometown Carolina Panthers and the rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the whole world will have their eyes on downtown Charlotte, NC. As ESPN’s TV crews have rolled into town over the past few days, it’s been a fantastic opportunity to showcase what a great place Charlotte and the surrounding areas are to live.
For me personally, I’m very excited about the prospects of what tonight’s game means. Not only is it a chance for the Panthers to clinch sole possession of the NFC South division, but it’s also an opportunity to highlight many of the features that make the Carolinas such a GREAT place to live.
If you can’t make it to the stadium tonight, or don’t have a ticket, don’t fret. The game airs on ESPN starting at 8:30pm ET.

My husband and I had every intention of sending out holiday cards last year, but it was mid-January before we realized it was too late. Whoops!
So this year, we made it a point to make sure they got out. So while his parents were visiting last week for Thanksgiving we had them take this family picture, which we intend to use for holiday cards, which will hopefully go out in the next week!
