Sweeping out the Old, Welcoming in the New

Happy New Year to Everyone! 

We are fresh off of 2012 and have hopefully swept all the old cobwebs out of our corners.  We are ready and willing for a great 2013!

Halloween Treats!

First, of all... it is good to be back... I guess I took the summer off!  Kids are now back at school and we again have a routine that we can semi count on...so, on to blogging....

Halloween Treats

The biggest "treat" for me is to decorate my home for Halloween. We usually have a party.. for the kids... so, I enjoy decorating and using all the fun, Fall colors.   

I have purchased my Mums... orange, of course and next I will get out the decorations.  I started this weekend, but it is hard to put up pumpkins and ghords when it is 80 degrees out and the windows are open.  

Pinterest is my new BFF... visit us at www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco.  Check out our Board ~ Glass Ornaments~Fall/Winter and our Board ~ Holiday Ideas.

On here, I have saved a ton of ideas on how to decorate for Fall and Halloween.  Thank Goodness, for all the creative people out there sharing their ideas.

Here are a couple of the images that I love:

Happy Fall!

Social Media is Everywhere!

Our newest form of Social Media.....

First I started this Blog thing... Decorating Everyday... and although I find it hard sometimes to post on a regular basis with life going on at the same time. Turns out it is so much fun to put together a story and images. So, I love this when I am in my creative mood and chatty.

Then, I put my company, The Whitehurst Company, LLC on Twitter under @glassornaments.  This is easy because I have 140 characters to say something and then it is posted.  Done. 

Next, I bit the bullet and joined Facebook.  We now are on Facebook at www.facebook.com/whitehurstcompany.

The last few days, I have been glued to my laptop.  Producing our latest Social Media outlet, our Pinterest account.  This is so great and melts all my favorite images into one spot, under one username and password.  So, you can also follow us on www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco.

 There, now you have it... all of The Whitehurst Company, LLC social media outlets in one post.

Enjoy and follow us!  I promise lots of fun and creative uses for our products.

Have a great day!
