What kind of material can you use for outdoor Christmas decor that imitates snow? I've seen it used many times but have never used it myself or known anyone personally that has used it. We really want to make the front of our house look like a winter wonderland. Someone told me to use batting that you use to make quilts but I have no idea what type or if this is what is really used. any help would be greatly appreciated.

A cheap roll of polyester batting would probably do the trick for you. The cheaper stuff pulls apart a bit, which would give you the wispy look of freshly fallen snow. Do NOT get cotton batting. That is a much more dense product, and would look like a thin, flat blanket. You can get a 72" x 96" piece of the cheap stuff for about $7 at JoAnn Fabrics.

I have tipsy pots. I would like to see pics or hear ideas of how to decorate them or arrange them for fall.

The floral section of your local craft stores have great fall decorations that can be used outside. Try Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics or AC Moore craft stores as they al have an extensive collection of things you could use.

There are decorations in all of the spicy fall colors: oranges, reds, brown, tan, Cinnamon, chartreuse, and burgundy. You can get garland with leaves, berries and Chinese lanterns, dried flowers, and fabric mums to name a few. You can get anything from artificial fruit to sunflowers. They also have 'picks", which are a few selected pieces of, say, a tiny pumpkin and/or colorful gourds, a cat tail and a dried flower, Perhaps a miniature scare crow, or Indian corn husks all wired onto a spike for ready to use decorating. All you have to do is to arrangement them in your tipsy pot. You could use a few of them, in different styles to arrange, cascade and fill up your tipsy pots.

These stores also have a fantastic collection of wide wired ribbons you can use around the top of the pots or to billow down from the uppermost pot.

Your imagination is your only limitation. Good Luck

My mom's birthday is on the weekend and I was thinking that for part of her present I'd try to give the deck a little makeover. Right now there's not much of anything except an okay little table and matching chairs, some lawn chairs and ugly white plastic side tables. Anybody have any low-cost ideas on how to improve it a bit? Like some cheap plants or flowers (nothing very smelly b/c she could get allergic) or other accessories.... Did I mention the word "cheap" enough? LOL I'm broke at the moment. I plan to only spend about 20-25 dollars and hope to get a few things at the dollar store. What would make the biggest impact for the littlest cost?

Looks like you are in for a little do it yourself project. Go to the fabric store and make her seat cushions for her chairs. You can do this for very cheap (under $5 or $10 depending on size). Make sure you get fabric from the scraps bins, they are discounted. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors and shades. Next, go to Home Depot (or your local nursery) and explain your financial pinch and see if they have any outdoor plants that are maybe slightly damaged or the only one left so they can give it to you at a discounted price. Same goes for a pot. They usually have something chipped that they can give you at a discount. Look around at garage sales too. You may find it is cheaper to go to the dollar store and get silk flowers. You should be able to get a few things put together with your remaining money. Now, for a finishing touch, clean everything on your mom's patio. Clean the furniture, and the patio itself. Make it look brand new. Top everything off with some glasses (her's of course) of nice lemonade (or her fav drink) on her newly refurbished patio for you and her to enjoy some quality time together which is the greatest gift of all.

I asked thas already but need more ideas. I have a very small front yard (not really a yard ) so a grave yard won't work out.I know I am doin a goast out of white trash bag and hanging it in the walk way of our front door. I have NO trees in the front either. I need these ideas to be things I can make with my 3 and 5 yr old. Thanx for any ideas.

Take 4 wooden stakes and put a large styrofoam ball on the top, cover with a white sheet and ties, then they kids can draw faces on them and then put them in a circle for a ghostly ring around the rosie!
