Christmas is a time for decorating with wild abandon! With craft stores carrying so many relatively inexpensive items it is easy to get cought in a decorating frenzy. I love bows and I feel that they can give anything that extra touch. As the calendar gets closer and closer to Christmas, many stores begin marking down their items, this is when I load up on spools of ribbon for the next year. You can never have too much. Try tying a large bow on the base of a cake stand or dangling from an overhead light fixture with many curly strands hanging down – festive!
