After Christmas Sale...

You know I LOVE a deal and Christmas sales are the absolute best for me. If you are really looking for something specific and want the deal, you need to go December 26th. This year, I knew I really didn't NEED anything so I waited.

I did pop into Walmart that first week for the 50% off sale and picked up a little ribbon, but wanted to wait for the 75% off week. My goal is to get all of the 9 trees I decorate to be pre-lit. So far, I only have 3. It's not mandatory, but would be nice. So the "deal" is the way to go. It may take me a few years to accomplish this goal, but it's worth the wait.

Here's the new addition to the family...the only pre lit tree left in the 75% section

I've never had a white tree, but I am so excited about this one...6.5 feet, perfect size for me.



White tree with little colored lights. I am always a white light girl, but I have a theme tree idea in mind.


and for $9.75 who could pass it up!! I just bought this Friday, so try your local stores, there may be some left.



Then I saw these colorful ornaments...perfect for that special tree I have brewing in my head.


45 ornaments for $3.75...run to Walmart NOW!! (they didn't pay me to say that either, Lol)



Here is my inspiration tree. This picture is from Trendy Tree...love this site!!

I want my theme tree to be a candy, treats and yummies tree...


I also purchased these gold ornaments for Kelsie's tree and the blue ones for Courtney's.


35 ornaments for $3.75...different shapes and textures with the glitter!!


These candle lights are right up my alley too. I have real candle clips, but couldn't resist $2.50 a box.




Each little candle clips onto the branch and lights up like a real candle.


Sales can be dangerous, but I really restrained myself. I went for a pre-lit tree and ornaments only if they were super cheap.

For the candy themed tree, I will be making most of the decorations for that. I will be doing posts each month when I make something. That way it serves two purposes...
  1. I can get the decoration done ahead of time...not in December when things are crazy and
  2. you can make them with me and we can both have a candy tree in December
Hope you found or will find some Christmas bargains. If not, follow me along the way, you know I'll make the candy tree "on the cheap".

Take care,
~Karen~
