| 0:09.9 | Hi, this is Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is Decorating Tips |
| 0:14.4 | Episode 452 books to get you through the winter. |
| 0:19.8 | And the idea of sitting in my chair by the fire |
| 0:23.9 | wrapped up in my faux furth row reading a book it's so exciting to me I knew you'd be |
| 0:30.7 | wrapped up in that throw I pictured you just like that when I was preparing for this episode |
| 0:37.2 | yes books are such a wonderful friend any time of the year I pictured you just like that when I was preparing for this episode. |
