I had so much fun one year designing and crafting all the decorations on this tree.

I love to explore with new and different ideas for crafting.

I have made all homemade/crafted gifts

and tried different ways to decorate gift wrappings and boxes.

I try to use items I have on hand

where I can work with recycling items I have saved.

CHRISTMAS TREE WREATHS

Small Christmas tree wreaths created out

of Morning Glory vines. They can also be used

to decorate gift packages. There is a lot of useful

items found in my Woodland Garden to create

crafts.

Containers: Think of a use before discarding.

This is the time of year more discarded containers

will be coming in to the house. I have taken photos

of all the ways I have used discarded materials.

The more I can recycle throwaway items the more money I save.
