My sister in law is a yard sale diva., she may even be a queen!. I told her a few years ago that I really wanted a tree and if she saw one I would pay here back. She went to a yard sale that was packing up for donations. She noticed this tree and the lady said it was free! That is how I got a free tree! It is a smaller tree, which I don't mind since its cheaper to decorate and not as overwelming . Living on a budget the last couple years I have had some interesting crafts on it. This year I wanted a nice tree! While I was at Honk's Dollar store I noticed they had 9 pack Christmas balls for $1. They happen to have the lime green I am trying to decorate my house with! Score! With a splurge on Led lights (that will save me in the long run), some glitter ornaments 5 for a dollar, some 2 for a dollar, 2 rolls of garland, an angel for cheap at a thrift store, 26 packs of the Christmas balls for $5 from WalMart, and I wrapped a fleece throw I got at Ikea for $3, as a tree skirt. So for about $40, half of that was the lights, here is my tree!
