Holiday decorating on a budget…I can show you how.
Today was a productive day.
Mom and sis are gone:(
So I decorated and kept busy all day in order not to be too sad.
Living far away is hard sometimes…but
when we are together we sure appreciate our time with one another.
Anyhow...
I am on a roll with the Dollar tree,
and nature…which is free.
Simple chande this year.
I went with mostly red and whites in here.
The greenery, bows, and snowflakes all from the dollar tree.
The other ornaments are from Hobby lobby a year or two ago.
I adore these miniature ornaments.
They are perfect for my diy centerpiece I created today.
I had fun with a little spray paint AGAIN today.
the weather has been gorgeous here.
I decided some sticks needed a little color before I created my twig piece…
better known as masterpiece.
Basically this whole centerpiece was free TODAY.
I had everything on hand.
Ornaments and snow flakes,
DOLLAR TREE
If I had to add everything up…I would say I spend a lot more dollars in the Dollar tree than I think…
but it’s still cheaper in the end.
That much I know.
You can see a hint of something else from the dollar tree in the background.
You will have to wait to see that one.
Just some snippets for now.
Tree is up, and tomorrow I will decorate it.
Don’t forget you still have until December 7th to get in on the
Dollar tree all things Christmas party.
Thanks for stopping by today!~

How cute, Debbie! You are just so creative and crafty! Loving your Christmas accents!
Love the pitcher with the painted sticks and mini ornies. just perfect!!
I love simple green, white, and red…so pretty!
Looking good Debbie … you never stop creating and it all looks great. Looking forward to the tree decorating. I am trying to get the Fall decorations put away … then time to think about Christmas. Time is passing so fast.

Debbie I went to my Dollar Tree yesterday and they had a whole new line of Christmas items in. They are killing me this year! If you haven’t been in a few days, you might want to check it out.
You are truly the bestest, Debbie Dear! Love this!
Be a sweetie,

Live your centerpiece.
Nice centerpiece, Debbie. I always pop into The Dollar Store. You could accent an entire house for very little.
Love it all Debbie! Nature and the Dollar Tree make the perfect combination in my book!

It all looks so festive and not ‘thrifty’ at all! I have to get to the Dollar Tree! Can’t wait to see what you are up to!
It’s looking great and I agree that though we spend a lot in that store, it’s still a LOT of bang for the buck!
Love the simple centerpiece…I need that pitcher
I so need to wrap my chandeliers…thanks for the reminder…it’s all looking so beautifully festive!!!
Looking good my friend! I love your centerpiece!
Now this is beautiful!
So pretty Debbie!!
Debbie, love the chandy’s look. That is still on my list of things to decorate. Love that you are doing it all on a budget. Great looks going on.
Very pretty. So creative. Love your posts, Debbie.
Everything is so pretty Debbie! Have to love the $ tree
Hi Debbie: Love the Christmas touches. It’s beginning to look very festive over there. Very intrigued by the little snippet in the back ground. Can’t wait to see..Happy Tuesday..Judy
Debbie,

Sometimes the simplest is the doggone cutest! Love the branches decorated.
I’m going to do this to my chandelier!! Yay. Thanks for the creative ideas.
I love hanging ornaments from bare branches. That makes a cute centerpiece. Thanks for linking up.
Debbie love this centerpiece! So simple and elegant too! Love using things from nature too and yes the best part it’s free! I know how hard it is to be far from family.We have family scattered in different states.Unfortunately we don’t get to see them enough.
