Valentine's day is a day to celebrate love. And what a better day to decorate the table & bring everyone together! This year I went with pink, red & white. Of course, I did it frugally buying most everything from my local dollar stores! I like the challenge of going in there throwing it together with whatever they have on hand! Ya never know!

These votives were a hand me down given to me by niece. "Could I use these", she asked. Of course! I used Valentine candy corn around a candle to decorate them! Can you stand the cuteness?

These are a Valentine's day must, don't you think?

I found this ideas on Pinterest. Pipe cleaners shape into hearts for napkin rings. I found these pink plates at our local Dollar King, too! Mmm hmm. Love the Dollar Store!

Oreo Trifle! Layered with Frozen pre-made Pound cake (cubed), Oreo pudding, crushed oreos, whipped topping, drizzled with chocolate syrup. Super easy! In honor of my hubby who LOVES oreo cookies!I spoil him!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope yours was great!

Christmas Table

I wasn't feeling much in the Christmas Spirit until I slowed down long enough to reflect on what the true meaning of the season is about...the true gift...Jesus! And I began decorating the Christmas table. I wanted to make it extra special for my family & our Christmas meal together.

This is my Dollar Store Christmas table. I call it that because just about everything on it came from the Dollar Store(Dollar Tree, Dollar King)...Plates, placemats, goblets, napkins, Candles, Candle holders, etc..with the exception of the glass vase, greenery, ribbon & candy. I love the Dollar store! I love to find pretty stuff for cheap! Who doesn't?

Isn't this little Bird Cute? & I love the Moss Ribbon, which I ended up using to place the candle holders on.

I found this little Rooster at Dollar Tree, too. He didn't make the Christmas table...But I have different table plans for him, later in the year!

Okay, don't laugh, but I found my napkins in the automotive section! A 6 pack of glass cleaning rags(for a buck), with a ribbon & some Jingle Bells slapped on em! It works, wouldn't you say?! Elegant!
