December Decorating Tip~What a Difference Colorful Ribbon Can Make!~
Colorful ribbon can be used for so much more than embellishing a wrapped package. Ribbon is perfect for dressing up holiday wreaths and trimming Christmas trees, too!
Revamp a simple holiday wreath into a Yuletide masterpiece, , using a little ingenuity and a variety of coordinating, glimmering ribbons and trimmings!
Adorn your tree with bows using exquisite ribbon, making them as extravagant or simple as you wish in order to achieve the Christmas charm you desire.
Use sparkling ribbon in place of garland and easily create "tree-mendous" radiance by artistically twisting and weaving the holiday trim between the branches of your tree.
Adorn the top of your tree with a celestial bow by using elegant, shimmering ribbon and creating plentiful, lustrous loops, transforming your tree topper into a show stopper.
The Village Shoppes carries a gorgeous selection of colorful Christmas ribbon that will gracefully embellish your lovely holiday home.

True Tales from Bella
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if animals were round instead of a svelte, fine-tuned, muscular machine like myself? Well, wonder no more, ! Just watch this video and you'll get a glimpse of what it would be like!
Give Santa's reindeer a break, . A lot of us put on a few pounds during the holidays!!!  Personally, I'm not even going to look at a scale until March!
I'm as round as a Christmas bulb!
