Yes, I made it myself!

You know when you really want something but it is SO EXPENSIVE you just can't convince yourself to buy it? No ? Well I do. I DO NOT like spending money but I LOVE shopping and stuff! haha
The two really don't go together! So I found a new way to feed my habits! I find something and then I make it! haha You can almost always make things WAY cheaper then they are sold for!

So Christmas! I really wanted a wreath for our front door! But they are $25 - $55 ya that's right! RIDICULOUS!
So I went the other route!
Off to the dollar store and Michael's I went!
 First the Dollar store...
                        I found these little bushes and I loved them it comes with six per bush.  $1 ea.
 And then the red ones. I accidentally got one that was missing one. ( Pay attention to that if you try it!) $1
 Then these flowers came with 7! They are SO not this coloring but I can't really get the camera to show it right! haha ( you'll just all have to come out and see for yourselves!) $1
 Then off to Michael's where I got this bow for .50 and the wreath for $3 ( by the way everything Holiday is 50% off at Michael's right now! )
 First... I moved up the branches on the wreath to "POOF" it!
Its a 18 incher by the way! ya baby none of that tiny stuff!
 Then cut off each flower, bead thingys with wire cutters. Cut them so you can use the wire to attach them to the wreath.
 and WALLA! Love it Right!
 This is a little closer to the colors!  I LOVE IT!
 Total Cost: $ 6.50
I'm just sayin' Target would so sell this for like $45! ;0)
