Christmas ornaments!!!

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted.  I have been busy trying to make Christmas ornaments on the cheap.  Today I am going to tell you about the one I am proudest of. 



Can you guess what these are made of???  Have you bought a TV recently?  We bought a Vizio (love!!!) and there are clips at the bottom of the box to hold the sides of the box to the bottom.  These are them.  Wish I had remembered to take before and during pics but I didn't.  I will try to do better. 
All I did to these was paint them green and put some glitter on the edges.  Then I cut squares out of paint chips and made a glitter monogram and hot glued it inside.  That's it!!!  I had everything on hand so, for me, this was 4 free ornaments.  BTW, we bought the TV about a year and a half ago and my husband just let me get rid of the box.  He kept saying that if we moved we would want the box.  I convinced him we weren't moving anywhere anytime soon.  Turns out I was wrong.  He was just offered a job in Texas.  Guess we'll have to find some other way to protect the TV in the move.  :)

Hi!!!

Hey everyone!  I am new to the blogging world so bear with me.  I have found myself reading so many blogs.  Seriously, I think I have at least 100 saved in my favorites.  I have tried crafts and recipes from most if not all of them.  Some have been a success.  Some have been complete failures.  So this is going to be a record of both my successes and failures for the whole world (or whoever reads this) to see.  Most of my supplies will come from Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree.  Mainly because we are on a serious budget but also because the closest Hobby Lobby is an hour away.  Boo!!!  So, jump on the ride with me as we journey through blogland.  Let's have fun!!!
