This is going to read more like an Oscar speech! I have so many people to thank that made this large project successful! I just had the vision…countless, wonderful, creative individuals helped me see it to fruition. I will show the images first of how festive and beautiful the Lake Home was decorated for the 2013 Early Childhood Bay Village PTA Homes for the Holidays Tour on Sunday, November 10.

This project was challenging and fulfilling at the same time. Never have I decorated a home this large!!! I could never have completed it without some great women, I asked to help me. My wonderful decorating and crafting members Diane, Stacy, Delilah, Misty, Molly and Jeni. These women have creativity pouring from their fingers! Allison Hirsh for providing the paper trees. Vikki Pickett for loaning us the ornate origami. Nicola of Ampersandcle for loaning the paper wreathes. Kevin O’Brien Guillioma, Owner, O’Brien Landscaping and Lawn Care for the fresh pine, nowhere to be found in Cleveland in early November. A huge thanks to my wonderful husband for keeping our home together, our children fed, and driving 10 hours to get holiday decor. My mom get a huge hug for loaning me her decor and precious nutcrackers.
