Creatively Christmas: Inspired Yuletide Décor

I’m delighted to be participating in author Jennifer Rizzo’s Cedar Fort Publishing Virtual Book Tour for her latest release, CREATIVELY CHRISTMAS: INSPIRED YULETIDE DÉCOR.

While we haven’t yet celebrated Halloween, it won’t be long before the Christmas holiday will be here and we’ll be scrambling to decorate.

Popular designer and lifestyle blogger Jennifer Rizzo has some super solutions and helpful hints for making decorating a fun time instead of a chore. Sharing memories of childhood dinners and fun family traditions, the author inspires readers to begin creating their own holiday customs with family and friends.

Throughout the charming book, Rizzo gives step-by-step instructions on creating beautiful decorations for inside and outside the home. Rich colorful photos accompany the pages of amazing festive projects showing the finished reasons.

Rizzo demonstrates how to take worn out objects, such as ice skates, and give them a second life as unique yuletide decorations. Some of the other project include: Vintage Picture Bead Garland, Snowball Jingle Bells, Grain Sack-Inspired Paper Chain, and Pinecone Hedgehog and Mice Ornaments. The delightful decorations aren’t as time-consuming as their beautiful results may lead you to believe. Rizzo keeps the instructions simple and easy to follow.

If you’re looking to create wonderful homemade memories this Christmas, be sure to check out CREATIVELY CHRISTMAS for some neat ideas. Focusing on family and faith, the author shares some inspiring projects to make your holiday fun and festive.
