TWO WAYS TO MAKE CHRISTMAS GARLAND WITH DOLLAR TREE ITEMS

Hello, everyone!

I am just barely starting to decorate our home for Christmas, so I don't have any holiday decor to show yet, but I thought it would be fun to go back and share with you how I made very economical Christmas garland a couple of years ago for our stairwell and front door and how did I changed the look of it the year after also using 

Dollar Tree supplies.

OUR LITTLE BLESSING & AN ANNOUNCEMENT

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It is so hard to believe next week we will already be celebrating Thanksgiving and believe me when I tell you,

 we have a lot to be thankful for.

It has been a looong year for our family. Since April, when our home got severely damaged by that horrible hail storm, all we have done is work, work, work.

But, even then, we have tried to focus on the many blessings in our life, like our grandson.

When we thought we were never going to be grandparents, this little guys came into this world and changed 

our lives forever.

It seems it was yesterday we brought him home from the hospital after a huge scare during his birth.

 We are so thankful we were there to see him smile for 

the first time.

 To be able to celebrate his first Thanksgiving and Christmas with our little angel.

We are so happy to have been there to watch him turn one year old.

 And now that he is a big boy, he even helped his mom and dad move into their new home last April.

 But this little boy is getting ready now for the biggest job he will ever have to do.

 I can finally announce to the world, WE ARE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS AGAIN! :)

We have known for several weeks now and we will find out the day before Thanksgiving if it is a boy or girl.

We are so overjoyed with these news and can NOT wait to have another little one in my arms again, so this year will end for us with the anticipation of becoming grandparents again. YAY!
 

Our new grandbaby will be here next April, and if it happens to be a little girl, I have already apologized to our son and DIL in advanced for the amount of shopping this grandma plans to do. LOL

Thank you all for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day.

Until next time!
