I know, I know,....you are probably wondering what this post is about...well it is about....ONE SAD CHRISTMAS TREE!

My Dear Husband and I have only been married for 5 1/2 years and we have THREE kids...
I know it is kind of funny!...So...we have had to make due...considering 3 of those years were spent in law
school...and we have only been done with school for a year!yes did you do the math...most kids came in law school:)....and no I don't know how I did it either, but I DID!
So...with that in mind I thought for sure this year we could buy a new tree....you know the BIG one...one that was fluffy with LOTS AND LOTS of branches...yep that one....well...nope....didn't happen because....I am just TOO.DARN.CHEAP!
So I came up with a better idea...I thought I would first try to take a sad looking $25 tree and make it into my big...beautiful...looks like my dreamy...christmas tree :)!
AND I TOTALLY DID!at least...I think I did...so don't tell me if I didn't...deal?!?!?!
So...this post is officially dedicated to all of us with sad christmas trees....and here is my HAPPY tree...



So...do you like it???
Here is how I did it...took some $4 (3-4 yards) worth of tulle...$8 worth of berries on a stick (they are only 50 cents-$2 a peice)on the more expensive ones I made 2 sticks each :)!...and $7 worth of snowflake ornaments (they are 4 for $1 at target)...$5 for the big thing on top(sorry I have no idea what it is called. I found it at Hobby Lobby if that helps)...and this is what I got...so people...for $24 I have a NEW.HAPPY.TREE!
The End:)!
