My All Time Best Holiday Decorating Tip

If you have been visiting here for awhile you have probably heard me mention this before.

Are you ready? My Best Holiday Decorating Tip!

Did you know that Home Depot gives away the clippings from the bottom of the trees for free?

Yep, just head there any morning and the bin is usually full. You can take them no charge!

I use them all over the house. On our mantle. Sometimes I decorate the railings of the porch. I make greenery swags. I add them to the china cabinet.

They add a wonderful texture, color and smell amazing!

Other ideas, add them to a faux wreath, spray with faux snow and add to a wide glass vase. Put them in your manger scene.  SO many possibilities!

    Love this idea. I usually clip them in the woods behind our home, but this would
    be so much easier. Thanks for the info.
