THE SCOOP #252
and Suzy from Worthing Court Our host this week is Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict
Hi and welcome back to The Scoop! It’s finally December and Christmas is only a few weeks away! It’s time for me to get those halls decked! It’s always exciting with the little grands in the house but this time of year is extra special. Add to that the fact that the six-year-old has actually lost both of his front teeth in the last week and you know what song we are singing! ♪ ♫
I love plaid…especially during the holidays! So I am sharing EIGHT WAYS TO DECORATE WITH PLAID AT CHRISTMAS. You’ll find a little bit of everything from wreaths and tablescapes to mantels and gifts so I hope you will check it out!
Also…don’t forget that for those of you with fur babies, there are currently THREE WAYS TO WIN A $100 VISA GIFT CARD from Arm & Hammer Clump and Seal, Natural Balance Pet Foods and Meow Mix! Be sure to enter all three! You will find them HERE, HERE and HERE! Be sure to enter before December 31st!
And now…here’s what your hosts are sharing this week!

Where to look first! Each display is beautiful! The hard part is to choose which to use as a spring board for my own home.
Best Scoop ever – was able to glean at least one idea from each site. Will participate in a small cookie exchange in a couple of weeks and know the peppermint bark will make it to the table.
Happy Holidays, Yvonne. Thanks for hosting.
It’s always my pleasure to browse around for inspiration.
