matched the same patterns on
the planes as I did on the
bellow. So it just made the
spread look much bigger and much for inviting a judge

for your gas. You don’t want
them just sitting around on
hard surfaces without any
questioning because and they
don’t want to stay very long because and you mention
because and you mention
patterns and colors. Are there
any hard don’ts when it comes
to decorating outside?

know, and when you’re doing
outdoors and make sure,
especially in Houston, it’s

benches, you can line those up
around the perimeter of your
space to do some cool pillows
from Shutterfly and that way
you can get way more seating
and then chased you. Wouldn’t
