| 0:10.7 | Hi, this is Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:15.7 | Today's episode is about overdecorating. And the question is, have you over decorated? |
| 0:24.5 | Have you ever over decorated, Kelly? |
| 0:26.8 | I have. |
| 0:27.7 | And we're going to talk about that. |
