Christmas Mantle.... super duper cheap! PLUS Bath and Body Works scarf giveaway!!!

Welcome, Welcome! So happy that you took some of your time to stop in.. this blog is becoming really important to me. I hope some of you enjoy it.Ok, so today i wanted to share some of my good finds i found from the local dollar tree! Which i love , by the way. You can find a lot of fun things there and its soooo cheap. I have recently introduced my husband luc to the dollar tree, and i was so excited to see his reaction! Of course after this conversation: luc- "how much is this?" tina-" its a dollar , we are at the dollar tree. everything here is a dollar." luc- "this is only a dollar?" tina- "yep" We must have had this conversation two or three times during our visit. Anyway, on to my pretty finds. THe local dollar tree had these 15in plain wreaths. i liked them so i bought two. the also had 1.5 in wired christmas ribbon so i bought two spools(not sure what color i wanted). Also, i thought it was time our family got stockings, we have never had stockings before- crazy right? They had these fancy satin stockings in different colors so i bought six (one for each of us)

So, i took the wreaths and wrapped the ribbon around them ( i chose the cream and gold) and hot glued them together. Then i had some glitter glue on hand and i wrote all of our names on the stockings. I also added some rhinestones.( i had those on hand as well) I stuck everything up on the mantle , and i think it looks fab!

I do need to point out that i had the garland and the bow from last christmas, but i saw items similar to this at the dollar tree. Or do what i do and hit the Christmas Decoration clearance after christmas is over.So for the stockings and wreaths i paid $9.00. not too shabby eh?
