Every year it seems like we have a strand of lights go out- either outside or on
the tree. I took the extra bulbs..... some twine..... and some command hooks and made a
lil garland for my Christmas cards!
Jute twine= $1.00 at dollar general store! i use it all
the time!!!!
Recycle those burned out bulbs.. the big ones are so pretty just sitting in a Christmas bowl on the table or counter. you can also tie up in twine
and use in a garland strand around a banister!
Creative centerpiece... i stole this idea form
the gooseberry patch book. I have to say - it really
isn't feasible for children at a table or adults who like to keep a cluttered table b/c that is just where things seem to end up... At any rate- it is very cute. I ended up cutting the long
strands off shorter. its still just as cute
and we can set our plates down too!
So as always during the holidays we have LOTS of extra 'stuff' to set around and use! Decorative plates, stockings hung, big
ol tree in
the living room! HA! here is a fun and neat way to keep it all together.. Get a big basket
and keep all your Christmas books and Christmas
DVD's in for a quick get and also a quick clean up... Our
fav's include Christmas story, elf,
and Christmas vacation... :-) Will's is "train" which means the polar express!
Stay tuned for more tidbits and ideas!
