| In the fifth grade my teacher showed my class how to make a paper Christmas tree. Now, almost 10 years later, I still remember how to make it! Every year, I always make a paper Christmas tree. Here are the steps to making one for yourself. |
Hey Guys! I'm Whitney, from Whitney J Decor. I'm a New Orleans based Interior Designer, but I also blog about Interior Design/decorating and offer E-Decor services to those outside the New Orleans area. I specialize in making small spaces more functional (like itty-bitty living rooms, bedrooms, or even dorm rooms).
Today I'm going to show you how to make a super simple faux pearl garland for your Christmas tree. The garland doesn't have to be used on a tree, you can put it in a cute, clear glass vase, drape it on a wall or furniture, or even just add it to your Christmas tablescape.

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it's time to start checking off your Christmas list. If you're shopping in Montgomery, there's one place you have to visit to get your shopping out of the way, and it isn't the mall. The shoppes on Mulberry Street have all you need for the women and children on your list. You'll be able to find great clothes and accessories for any price range as well as support local small business leaders.

| A look at just a few of the items at Repeat Performance |
Repeat Performance and Hot Momz Konsignment shops are the go to places for designer
goods without the designer prices. You can grab gently used, and even new,
items as these shops for the fashion forward woman on your list. Both stores are
constantly getting in new items, and carry brands such as Coach, Michael Kors,
Brahmin, and more! Whether you're looking to grab a trendy purse, outfit, or accessory, you'll be able to find it at one of these shops.
There are stores that cater to the little ones a well. Although Hot Momz sells children’s clothes up to a size six, Barb’s on Mulberry
Street is the one stop shop for all the kids on your list. The shop has
clothes, toys, painting and more for kids. The shop also offers art classes,
which can be an unexpected gift for the little Picasso in your family.
If you’re looking for something to wear to that Holiday party next week,
then check out Klazzy Girlz Boutique. You’ll be able to grab a trendy outfit
for a night out, or grab a pair of shoes or a bag to top off your look.
Once you're shopping is all done, drop by Cupcakes by Tish for a taste of the
best cupcakes in Montgomery. With great flavors like Red Velvet, Sweet Potato,
Lemon, and more you’ll be able to end your day on a sweet note.
Not only will you be able to get some people off your list, you'll be supporting local business owners. Your money will go back into your community, just like money you put into credit unions goes back into the community. Unlike big banks that can take deposits and spend them outside of the community, credit union deposits stay local and can go towards a loan for a home or buisness. To find out more about how your credit unions help your community grow, check out Make your Money Matter and find a credit union near you.

There are less than two weeks left to get your Christmas shopping done, and I'm sure that some of you have at least one person you haven't crossed off your list. Maybe you don't know what their size is, or not sure what they would like. Since we've already posted suggestions on gifts that you could gift, it's time to post ones that you shouldn't. I like to assume that most of our readers are very reasonable, but this is a "just in case" post for any of you who may be tempted to give one of these bad gifts.

| Saying Kim has a cute shape doesn't mean I want it myself |
Finding a gift for your significant other can be hard. To help eliminate some stress, we put together a few items that can be a perfect gift on Christmas.
Unlike most little children who baked cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, Justin Bieber was not looking for Santa to come anytime soon to his house. He tells in a interview that his mother never allowed him to believe in Santa Claus. Saying "She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn't real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldn't believe her." Bieber also did not spoil his friends' beliefs about Santa saying, "I didn't tell my friends or ruin it for anyone -- I was a good kid!" he tells. I'm actually surprised that Bieber even said this. I also did not believe in Santa Claus growing up.
