About the Author

Kelley Taylor is a freelance craft and home decorating designer and founder of CreatingHomeDcor.com, a site for do-it-yourself decorating and craft enthusiasts. Her work has appeared in several books and publications, and she appears regularly on television shows demonstrating her quick-and-easy home dcor projects. Her past work as a visual merchandiser, floral designer, craft editor, and holiday decorator gave much inspiration for this book. Now she knows why she wore so many hats. She and her husband Byron live in southern Connecticut with their son Lex.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my husband, Byron, who continues to decorate my world with his beautiful, supporting, and loving spirit.

To my son, Lex: Your smile lights up my world. Im so happy and amazed God blessed me with the miracle of you.

And in loving honor and memory of my sweet companions who passed during the process of this book. Gertie, Stogey, and Scout: The time I spent with you was never enough. Youre missed dearly.

Acknowledgments

So many thanks, so little time. Id like to extend a hearty thank you to the wonderful staff at Wiley, especially my project editor, Jennifer Connolly, whose knowledge, insight, direction, and incredible patience helped guide the book to make it what it is today. To my copy editor, Christina Guthrie, who can take this designers broken text and work her grammatical wand to make it sing, and to Pam Warren, my long-time friend who just happens to be technical editor for this book. Thanks for making sure the ideas presented were explained clearly. Im so glad we went through instruction-writing boot camp together so many years ago!

A special thanks also goes to my acquisitions editor, Tracy Boggier, and to the graphics department for the wonderful illustrations. And I cant forget to extend gratitude to my agent, Jessica Faust, at BookEnds. You were divinely sent.

To all the visitors, subscribers, and contributors to my Web site, CreatingHomeDcor.com, thank you for your support and loyalty while Ive taken a few months off to finish this book. I hope you all feel it was worth it.

Thanks to my family, friends, and advisors through this process youve been a source of strength. And to Blake Edwards my best friend for about 20 years thank you for leading my personal cheering section.

An appreciation beyond comprehension goes to my husband, Byron. You are my soulmate, friend, confidant, and rock. Without you my life would not be possible you have my undying gratitude. And to my sweet little boy, Lex, may you always know that you make every single day a holiday for me. I love you both with all of my heart.

Most of all, thanks goes to God. Without His divine design, there would be no cause to celebrate and decorate these splendid occasions we call holidays. This book was a gift from Him I hope Ive done it justice. If so, to God be the glory.
