My patriotic tree had supplies that came from the Dollar Tree. Literally EVERYTHING came from there.  My fall tree has a LOT of Dollar Tree items as well AND I had a bunch of sunflowers and different ribbons so I didn't spend much on this look either.  I try to look at things through different eyes when I go shopping.  What COULD this be?  What's the POTENTIAL?  I imagine whether or not this or that will fit on my tree and I consider how I can fast it on easily without thinking too much about it.  I think we often spend too much time thinking and not enough time doing.  Should I do it?  Should I not?  What happens if I?

Hey, framily!  
I wanted to take a few minutes to showcase a little of the decorating and crafting that I did for Christmas 2020.  Did I have a ton of trees?  Yep.  Did I work hard to put it all out?  Yep.  Did I love every minute?  YEP.  One of the big things I learned in 2020 was that I choose whether or not I live a life of JOY.  So, early in November, I decided to transform my home into a winter wonderland.  We had the best time decorating and I love how it came out.  We are on an extremely limited budget, so this HUGE project was very budget friendly.  I keep my decorations stored in totes and throw out what is damaged each year.  I have been collecting decorations for my trees since 1994.  Let's go!

Our super cute home is such a gift from the Lord.  We've lived here 10 years and Noelle and I just love it!  We recently painted the entry doors a gorgeous soft turquoise from Home Depot.  I used a very high end paint and they came out so beautifully, I nearly cried.  Know what I mean?  I don't look at the door as a challenge for my outside décor either.  It just is what it is.
