A huh! You've all gotten your creative juices flowing!!! Good for you all! [Big Grin]

I was out for the family retreat and just got home a little while ago. I'm kinda tired but it was a blessing! [Smile]

I've made some with crenoline (different shapes)and potpurri, decorated with whatever I have at hand.

I've done some with pinecones and decorated with ribbons, flowers. Some are spray painted and with glitter too.

[Razz] I don't put up a christmas tree so these were made for sale a long time ago.

What about crocheted ornaments? There are so many ideas for those!

Chatty, what if you wrap them with ribbon? there are so many beautiful ribbons at Michael's. Do you have that craft store? They also have a coupon in the paper every week. [Wink]

Yes, theres a Michaels not too far from me. I did find some pretty glittery yarn and it was gold glitter. I'm going to try some of that since I have lots of browns and greens already. Thanks Dot...

Hey ya'll!

I thought I'd better admit a theft. I plan on stealing every single one of these ideas this morning and posting them on my site: Frugal Christmas . I will give you credit, as well as credit to the Boomer Women board.

If you plan on pressing charges or you want them removed, please send me a note. Or have your people contact my people. (I'll let you know just as soon as I get some people.)

Well, I don't know how you can get much 'cheaper' than glittery spirals made out of pipe cleaners! lol!! unless you find stuff around your house. Then it's free! I'm excited about having a 'crafty' idea posted. I don't have all that many of them anymore. [Smile]

The ones I rec'd are posted on Frugal Christmas on the sixth or seventh page of crafts. Check to make sure they are correct and that I gave you proper credit. I got some neat ones about centerpieces and stamping, etc...

If your isn't there, post it here and I'll get it on the site. I sure do appreciate you guys and your willingnes to share with me!

Sher, why don't you add the site to your signature. More people will find it that way. Just a thought... [Wink]
