When To Decorate?
Posted in Holiday, Home Decor and tagged with Decorating on 01/27/2010 10:59 am by ChrissyI am getting ready for the next holiday and wanted to share my decorating calendar. Don’t be one of those people that have Easter decorations colliding with Halloween. If you stay organized, changing your themes should be fast and simple…unless you add to your collection like I do.
Here is a schedule of when I like to put up my decorations for each holiday. Some of these holidays I skip over so don’t think I am that crazy to have a storage tote for each of these.
