Transform Your Everyday Tree for the Season!

Do you have a real or artificial tree in your home? I'm talking a regular ole not-a-Christmas-tree tree. Here's how to deck out an everyday tree for the holidays:

• - add grapevine twig garland - you can stretch and drape around the tree for a rustic look. Just $2.99
• - add some poinsettias - use a garland or stems and pull off the flower heads and place in the tree
• - add lights - add a strand of lights - they're 40% off right now
• - wrap with a berry garland - this goes so well with the grapevine for a rustic but classic Christmas look.

All these supplies and our own transformed trees are here at The Red Bee!

Photo Ornament Idea!

I love this idea - take our elegant red and gold glitter ornament with the plain center, cut your photo in a circle, and attached or decoupage with a paper adhesive (we like Scrappy Glue, Designer Dries Clear, or Shimmer Mod Podge). Add some Stickles glitter glue for accents, add a ribbon bow and presto! Instant gift for family on your list!

Christmas Paper Arrivals - Nostalgia & Whimsy

A fresh shipment of Graphic 45 Christmas papers is here for some fun vintage projects. Also arrived is the new Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses!

Decorating Tip & $10 Wreath-To-Go

Want to add a snowy look to your tree, wreath, or garland? You can use scatter flakes, or try these fun picks. Just insert where needed for instant snowy "branches".

The Wreaths-To-Go are flying out of here! Our talented and sweet designer Sherry has fluffed and festooned each wreath with a designer bow and ornament, so all you have to do is hang. Several styles to choose from. Reg. $19.99, but NOW $10. What a deal!

C is for Cookie!

That's the name of this yummy new collection of papers that just arrived! In addition to scrapbooking, you can use the recipe cards and pair with our popular gable boxes for a cookie carrier and recipe combo that's too adorable to give.

Our talented designer Sherry has created a sweet display with papers, treat boxes and bags, and other holiday goodies you'll want to buzz in to see!
