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!

It's always so hard to choose, but here are a few of the things that caught my eye last week!

Frog Prince Paperie shared some fun COOKIE EXCHANGE PACKAGING IDEAS. These would be great for giving your homemade goodies as gifts, too!

This SIMPLE PEPPERMINT BARK RECIPE from To Simply Inspire is not only pretty but easy as well! It only has three ingredients!

Don't you love this PLAID TIDINGS CHRISTMAS TABLE from Home Is Where the Boat Is? That natural evergreen runner is gorgeous!

I love this CHRISTMAS MANTEL from Not Just a Housewife! The barn wood and evergreens just make it!

And here's a great idea for DIY STOCKING HOLDERS from A Thoughtful Place! They are easy, inexpensive and solve the fear of having little hands pull down those big, heavy store-bought versions. Love it!

And now, I can't wait to see what you have to share this week!
