Good morning, everyone!
Here we are, Monday morning, Thanksgiving just three days away.
So much to do!!!
This year, I decided to change my Holiday decor color scheme and,
I don't know if that was such a bright idea! :)
I am really stressing now!
There is tons of food to to prepare, many pies to bake,
last minute errands to run and our son will be home tomorrow!
So, what is a girl to do?
Of course, sit down and blog! LOL
Best therapy ever!
Like I said, I wanted to do something different this year but not spend a lot of money changing everything, so the Dollar Tree came to the rescue.
I had these metal vases I bought at Kirklands a while back during one of their big sales and only paid for them $5.00 each.
I knew I could do something with them!
At Dollar Tree, I purchased little ornaments in
gold, red and green and some pretty ribbon.
And this is what I came up with
I wanted to add some branches, but they were very pricey in the stores, so my husband cut some from our yard and I used my favorite spray craft paint to give them a little bit of a Christmas look.
To the branches I added tiny ornaments
also from Dollar Tree.
And here they are all dressed up for Christmas.
What do you think?
I was able to change the look of both vases for under $10.00
Can't wait to put it all together!
But, first, we have a huge Turkey to cook. :)
Thank all for visiting and, in case I don't get another chance this week, a very, very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
They turned out so cute, Maria! I am heading to dollar tree later to get some supplies to make some stuff too! :) Best bang for your buck when your wanting to add more decor but not wanting to spend an arm and a leg! I hope to finish the rest of my crafts before Thanksgiving I better get busy!!
