Budget Decorating 101
Wanting to make our house festive, yet being on a limited budget proved a welcome challenge. Here are some examples of what we came up with.
Our very first Nativity. Thanks Mom. I added the holly leaves--they came from the dollar store.
If you were to guess that I paid six or seven or ten dollars for this door decoration, you would be wrong. It cost a grand total of $1.05 (plus tax) at Honks. Now, I know it might not make it on the Today Show, but you have to admit it's cute.
This one's my favorite. My own Christmas book basket. The basket was given to us recently as a wedding gift. The books have come as gifts from various people or are gems that I found at DI. I added the bows.

Very cute!
Dollar stores rock, as long as you don't buy 50 things.
I forgot about the speech, so I didn't get to see it! argh! I heard good things about it. Apparently Chris Matthews liked it.
I'm glad to see you put up some Christmas decor...way to go. :)
So, where do you find all the cute seasonal templates? Is your goal to have a new one weekly?
