Trimmings Transformed

Posted on December 1, 2016 by Becky Poole

Decorating for Christmas makes me downright giddy. Anyone else feel me on this? It takes every ounce of willpower for me to wait until after Thanksgiving, which is a personal rule of mine. Full disclosure: I started decorating at approximately 7:00 PM on Thanksgiving night. Close enough right?

Black Friday our only purchase was our Christmas tree (more on that later) but while we were there I asked for some extra tree trimmings and the guys happily obliged. In fact, they said we could have a whole truckload, but we politely declined and just took a few branches.

We have an antique milk jug that sits in front of our house. Usually I fill it will seasonal potted flowers and it ends up in the garage over the winter, this year I decided to make use of it with those extra trimmings. The best part about this little project…FREE. Aside from the tree trimmings given to us, I had everything else on hand.
