Hello to all our porch loving friends,
Thanksgiving is already behind us and Christmas, Hanukkah, and the New Year are fast approaching. We love this time of year and always enjoy decorating for the holidays. We remember as kids taking rides with our parents to see all the lights, yard displays, and decorated porches.
Check our site often as we have some unique gift ideas for just about everyone on your list!
It's been a wonderful year; hard to believe Front Porch Ideas and More was barely an idea twelve months ago. As always, send us your comments and suggestions; we’d love to hear from you.
Happy porch sitting from your friends at
www.Front-Porch-Ideas-and-More.com!

Announcements!
Holiday Porch Pictures - we'd love for you to share pictures of your porch decorated for the holidays. It doesn't have to be the entire porch; decorated doors, windows, or perhaps just a corner of your porch will do.
It will give everyone a chance to see decorated porches from all over the world. And since it's the gift-giving season we'll share our instructions for making an awesome door wreath as our way of saying thanks for sharing your photos.
Holiday Decorating - Need ideas? We have just the information you need to create a wonderful look for your porch and home. Have ideas? Share them and we'll post on our site. So many of our wonderful photos and stories have come from our site visitors. Thank you!
Porch Tidbits
If you haven't seen it yet, take a "minute" to watch our latest video on building a porch in a minute. We condensed the process of taking off an old porch and rebuilding a new one down to about a minute. Pretty cool.
We cover ramps and ramp designs, portable ramps, porch lifts, and more. We've also included information for those wishing to build a wheelchair ramp.
Porch Feature
New Year's is just around the corner. Start it off right with a beautiful 2010 Porch Calendar! Porch calendars make nice gifts so be sure to not only order one for yourself but also for someone you love.
Thoughts from the Porch Steps
The recession has affected a lot of people in a lot of different ways. We are blessed and most grateful for your interest in our site. It has been a most rewarding year for us because one year ago we decided to invest in ourselves to create a more secure future.So here's our gift to you this season - a 2 ½ minute video for the same opportunity we enjoy today.
Take 2 ½ minutes to listen to this video to see if perhaps it could help you or someone you know. Then read About Our Site to learn how we created Front Porch Ideas and More and what it takes to be successful.
Make 2010 your year.
See you next time!
Take time to enjoy the holiday season. And perhaps you can take a ride around your area with your kids to enjoy the holiday porch decorations. If you live in snow country then enjoy a warm cup of cocoa on your porch. If you live near the equator and can sit on your porch year round perhaps a cold glass of iced tea sounds better!
Take a little time each day to enjoy your porch! We love hearing from you. See you in January 2010!
Our warm regards to you and yours,
Mary and Dave
Life is short. Enjoy your porch.
