I came up with some inexpensive Christmas decorations for this year.
I recycled a pail I had around the house, found a burlap bag at the farm store for $3.00, grabbed some cedar branches from the backyard and added some berries from Joann Fabric store for $1.49 and put a tall candle in the middle.
Then for our MOPS leadership team, we thought it would be fun to give everyone a little Christmas gift so I bought some white mugs from Rite Aid for $1.00. I went to Amazon.com and found these chalkboard labels 40 for $3.00 and used a chalkboard pen to write their names. Finally, I made little tags and filled the cups with hot chocolate packets, a candy cane and a peppermint chocolate candy.
Hot chocolate: $.20 Candy cane: $1.39 for 12 Chocolate candy: $2.50 for a bag.
I put up our family Christmas Advent Log...love this log. My husband made this for us when we got married and now our kids blow out the candles each night.
I found this grapevine wreath at Walmart for $3.00, tied some red Christmas balls to it, put a red ribbon I had from last Christmas and put some burlap in the frame.
Merry Christmas and happy decorating!
