A Little More Decor (On a $0 Budget)

I am sorry if I have been a bit out of touch.  First off, I escaped -20 degree weather for this the past week.  

Hubby and I took a cruise to celebrate our 25th anniversary that was in July.  

It was warm and relaxing and fabulous!

But, I also, for the past month or so, only receive a few comments to my email, but most do not go there.  I think it might have to do with Google+, but not sure.  I can reply in the comments, but do you ever go back to a blog you have commented on to see if there is a reply?  I do not.  I will continue to work on figuring out the email thing. If you have any insight, I would love to hear it.

I thought I'd share the last bits of decorating I did before my trip.  I create new decor most years, all with things I have on hand so it is affordable!

Here I hung my stockings and then added a few garlands I made.

Last year I removed the large clock for Christmas and the family went nuts.  So I left it this year. It needed a little something to tie together the stockings and clock.  As I have said before, I have no mantel--don't know if I ever will.  

I hot glued some driftwood together, and then wired it to secure it.

A few fake sprigs of pine and berries 

and a bow finished this mini spray.

I like a bit of decor (other than feet, remotes, cups) on my coffee table so I put three candles in a rusty vase,

set it on a tray to catch candle drips and added a bow and some vintage Christmas balls.

If you are still decorating, or need a little something extra, look around your home and through old decor and see it with fresh eyes.
