This is the most wonderful time of the year, the Christmas Holiday Season. As a child I couldn’t wait for it, the family gatherings, the parties, the church going, and let’s not forget the wonderful foods and as a child, the gifts, smile!
​
Time to start creating your simple pieces to embellish your home. I just happened to have these leftover items in my craft room and luckily, I didn’t have to go to the craft store this time, smile.

I encourage you to look around your home and see what is a possible item to re-purpose to use in an arrangement. The kitchen is your best bet, like a nice glass container or a bowl or anything that you can add to it and make it unique. YOU GOT THIS MY FRIEND!

So I was shopping at Walmart and decided to go look at their small beads department. While there, nothing caught my attention. However, while I was leaving the department, I capture these Dalmatian/cow looking beads and decided to take them home. Nice surprise, they were under $1. Yippee!
​
As you can see, I tried to use them with other color beads, like red. However, I did not like it as much as I like them with black beads. Now you can see the final product, so simple, took me less than 10 minutes to make and I love them.

Thanksgiving is around the corner and family is expected to come to enjoy each other during this special holiday. Therefore, you have to embellish your home with what you may have around the house and garden to make it welcoming to everyone.

The greenery that I used in this arrangement is from my garden and back yard. Just take a trip to your back/side yards and see what you can cut to use in the arrangement. I am sure that you have something.
​
Then, look around the house for anything orange, white, beige or use a pumpkin that you purchase for your porch, hopefully, not carved. Or, just go to the Dollar Store or Walmart and get a couple of inexpensive allegoric pieces. Then, let the creative juices flow. You can do it. This whole arrangement is under $5.00 and you got this!

​This set goes with any black, white, green, purple, well, you get the picture. The important part here is simply to look fabulous at a party and wear something that no one have, but you. Love you Cathy.
