it's that time of year!, part 1

I have a sneaky feeling we are not the 
only ones "tight" this Christmas.
And my tight, I don't mean awesome. 
Although, we are awesome.

Our Christmas decor has to be 100% 
from what we already have.
AKA: recycling bin, craft box, yard debris

I plan on sharing what we are making. 
Our first project was our "tinsel strips" 
 cut long strips of news paper (or your junk mail like me!),
and snip them so they are frayed.
 tape the long strips together and then crinkle them.
Hang them on the tree!
(preferably with a wedgie in your "magical-yeyow-swim-suit!!!!")
....More to come my cheap friends!

All I can say is thank goodness for Grandparents :) It will be one we will remember for years to come. These are the special times where we remember who this holiday is really about. Love you guys!
