Let your Christmas decorating begin with some inspiration….
The best way to enjoy the holiday season is to get your decorating done EARLY. Although some of you might think November is early to decorate, the quality of artificial greens available means having the decorating done when you have more time and can
enjoy
doing it - and without compromising. Lots of customers have commented that spreading it out of a couple of days or weeks (with a glass of wine and holiday music) long before the
busyness of December parties and entertaining is the best way to prepare.
Stop in any time to get into the holiday mood
and peruse this newsletter for

Quality Greens
Many times a season I am asked by
customers why their finished tree or garland doesn't look as nice as what they see at Crafted Decor even though they have collected beautiful ornaments and trim over the years. The main mistake people make is in the quality of the greenery base.
Whether you are buying a new tree, or garland don't compromise on quality when it comes to your greenery base. If you purchase quality it will look amazing for years AND make everything you put on it more beautiful as well. While it may be a bigger investment than fresh in the first years, quality
artificial greens will not only last, they will save you time when you need it most. Having the time to decorate on your own schedule rather than having to do everything close to the holidays allows you to enjoy the fruits of your labour and have the house festively adorned whenever guests are over.
As far as scent goes, you can STILL have the wonderful scent of evergreens using
Trapp White Fir
candles, room spray, or melts. Every year we make new white Fir customers because they have been to someones home and thought they were smelling a real tree until the host showed them the Trapp candle.

How to Evenly Light Garland
Phyllis and I have had the pleasure of designing many wreaths, centerpieces and garlands over the years. Many years ago I figured out HOW to light garland so that the lights where evenly spaced apart. When lights are on a garland, uneven spacing is very visible, and there is nothing more frustrating than having to undo all the lights and start again. These how-to videos explain the procedure we use to get it right the first time and every time...

Trapp Seasonal Fragrances
|
|
|
Golden Cypress
Create a holiday ambience with intoxicating aroma of fresh cypress sprigs and golden citron fruit. Personal favourite, I burn it all
year.
|
|
Orange Clove
This classic combination of juicy orange and freshly ground clove warms your senses.
|
|
|
White Fir
White fir essence fills your room with the refreshing cool sensation of a winter forest. IF you want the smell of a real tree, without the hassle, this is the BEST scent.
|
Trapp Melts
Contain as much fragrance as the candles, so they fill your home with fragrance -
but quicker
. Turn melts on/off - no time commitment. These soy based melts can be used in locations where an open flame is not permitted (seniors residence, office, dorm).
Each package is 30 hours of fragrance making it an excellent value at $9.99.

Faith Collection
For as long as Sid can recall, he has been intrigued and influenced by religions and their iconography. This has been reflected in some of his past work. He is now introducing a special collection of Memory Blocks that will pay tribute to the Jewish tradition. This special collection will grow to include other faiths from around the world.
