The acorn ball only cost me $1.00 for the clear ornament ball. This project did not take nearly as long as the pinecone tree. I like the red kidney beans in the candle holder. </div>

I will most likely always put up my coastal/rustic Christmas Tree every year somewhere in my house. I have such fond memories of picking all the large shells for the tree with my brother and drilling holes in them with my daughter. I did add pinecones and cattails at the top this year. </div>

I absolutely love the plain brown wrapping paper. I found a pair of mens black and white plaid swim trunks and used the fabric for this present and the deer pillow. I also like the black paint decorative touches on the corners.</div>

This turned out so much better than I anticipated. I bought a $25 Christmas tree from Walmart and cut branches from it, added Baby's Breath, roses, Dollar Tree candles, Dollar Tree foam ring, Dollar Tree Plastic Platter, magnolia leaves, and some pine cones. Each center piece cost $13. </div>

I have finally gone back to school to get the degree to go with it. Currently taking an Art class. This is one of the assignments I have done for the class. I wish I could say this was a thrifty free artwork for my house but the art supplies for this class were over $100.00 but it will all be worth it when I'm done.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure I could have found something to have been stressed about while waiting for the doctor. But I chose to charish this time with my kids. Take a few silly pictures and make them remember I do have time for them. Life is not always so serious. And I <strong><em>DO</em></strong> have time for fun. They didn't want to be sitting there as much as I didn't want to be there either, but hey like everything else in life, "you have to make the best of it". And now I will always have this reminder.</span><br />

I have seen so many of these, wanted to copy and have one of my very own. <br />
Didn't quite turn out like the one I saw, but I had no idea<br />
how crucial it was to fold them all identically (hindsight - very important). <br />
But seeing as I got a book of maps at the junk store and had cardboard and hot glue onhand.<br />

I've claimed the sunporch as "my space". I'm having a ball decorating it cheaply. I know the bench was an investment but I loved that I saved it. And eventually the walls will be painted, curtains will be hung, the plastic chairs will be replaced, and the perfect rug will make an appearance. </div><em>All in due time.
