shared tips on decorating, gift giving and entertaining for the holidays. This fast paced evening was a load of fun as Marj demonstrated one clever idea after another. Then as each idea was shown, she drew an attendees name out of the bag and everyone left with a treasure. These pine cones 
had their tips dipped in glue and then glitter was added. Package in an old mason jar with some batting and you have a charming snowy centerpiece.
Old recycled Christmas lights in an apothecary jar tucked in the corner of the bookcase, is both instant decor and quietly elicits fond memories of Christmas past. 
A simple hearth basket laden with greens from the garden, pine cones and a few white roses that are in water picks and you have a stunning entryway arrangement for winter or New Years. Included in the workshop was a quick lesson on bow making and a few holiday treats including this unique and flavorful combination of Brie cheese and gingersnaps (try it!) The faux silver platter was a dollar store find and the silvery decoration was recycled from a helium balloon display. She easily had 30 other hints, tips, shortcuts and fun ideas making this class a holiday favorite.

What a fun event. I could use the bow making lesson. The brie and gingersnaps sound interesting. I think I would have to for sure try it.
Sounds like a wonderful event with lots of great holiday ideas.
