This year I had to decorate the Christmas tree with completely new stuff. We cleaned out a shed last summer and apparently the wrong box was taken to the dump. OH NO! What to do on a budget?
Well, first place I headed to was Wal-Mart. For $25 I purchased lights,purple and silver ornaments and white and silver garland. I still had $5 leftover from the budget of $30 I had set for myself. Off to the Dollar Tree I went! There I found some plastic icicles that are about 6" long, I bought 2 packs. I also bought a couple of spools of purple organza ribbon to go on the tree as bows, and some silver jingle bells.
One thing that did survive the dump trip was my beaded garlands. I have 2 sets, one in gold, and another in a clear opalescent. I used the later. Once we had the tree decorated, the lights lit, you couldn't tell that I had bought cheaply made ornaments! My tree is lovely.
These I will pack away in a plastic tub. One of the problems with some of the lights we did have leftover was that the Monster Rats that invade our property in the winter time had chewed a few strands. Not a good thing. I'm hoping to find a nice tub today on sale. Anyone know anywhere that they have them on sale?

That sucks that some of the wrong boxes got tossed. But you got a new tree this year. ; ) Not totally new but the final look was new.
My tree looks almost exactly the same every year because most of the ornaments were gifts or made for me and I won't ever toss them. Unless it was by accident. = D
