You all know by now, I am all about saving a buck, and decorating on a dime.
Sometimes even a nickel if I can.
When the opportunity came up for the Google + live video, Shannon came right to me and asked me if I wanted to play along.
{The theme is Thanksgiving handcrafted home decor.}
UH NO, not really, I am not jumping up and down to partake in this one.
Do you know how bad I hate live action?
Really, I do.
As out going, friendly and fun as you may think I am…{and yes, I really am}
The reality is, I am extremely camera, public speaking shy.
But how can I say no to Shannon?
I can’t, and I won’t, so
a video it is.
The thing about crafting on the cheap, is really using everything you can on hand.
For example…I even recycled these flowers.
Instead of tossing these dried flowers out, I decided I would use them in my craft.
Napkins from the Dollar tree
a buck!
and can
Mod podge, which btw everyone should always have a bottle of that on hand.
So many fun way to use it and create a decoupaged project.
A simple orange ribbon
Dried flowers, and a simple pine cone from my garden.
How cute these would be for your Thanksgiving table scape.
Down the center of your festive table.
I think 5 in all different sizes would be perfect.
Hope you enjoyed this budget friendly tablescape idea.
Upcycled can, mod podge and the Dollar tree.
Speaking of Dollar tree.
This is just a friendly reminder or perhaps to you a new announcement.
Starting November 23rd….
Shannon and I are hosting our first Annual Dollar tree Christmas linky party.
It is going to be a blast!
Speaking of Shannon and I…AGAIN:)
She seems to be my partner in crime these days{Poor thing}
Today we did a live video together…
all about cans! It was all about a Homemade Thanksgiving and part of a google hang out.
You may follow me on google plus as well.
We share lots of fun and creative ideas.

Wow, your are busy busy with all this crafting and videoing. I do not like to do live stuff at all. I am seeing a lot of this going on this week. Must be the new social thing. I don’t think I can do anymore socializing. I have no time for life. Cute can.
LOL…you have been very busy with your social life Kim…I don’t think I will be making this a regular thing..but it was fun.

Love it!!
XO Kris
You have the most clever projects. Love that you made a video. So great.
What a cute, thrifty project Debbie. Love the leaf pattern on the napkins. You go girl!!
Well, bummer, I’m not getting the video; but your photos are great. That’s a really fun idea and fab way to up cycle!
What a cute project, Debbie. You do such a good job with recycling and repurposing stuff. I love it- xo Diana
That is so cute! You did a great job with the Mod Podge (I’m not always so successful).

Your arrangement is so pretty, Debbie! I love the use of napkins as the decoupage paper…so many possibilities!
I love these…I guess I need to start saving my cans…Oh the things you save for crafting! Lord help my garage!
Love the can idea….how creative! Lots of possibilities! Thanks for leaving a sweet note on my blog!
Have a great weekend!
What a great idea! I especially love that this craft doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I try to do a craft with small one every Saturday and it can get more than a bit pricey.
