I just love decorating for the holidays......& since most of my Christmas decor is still in the attic ( Mister only took 3 boxes down so far....lol. ) I've had to be a little creative to get the party started . ")
I saw some very large pine cones at Michaels for $4.00. I didn't buy them. I do have access to 3 pine trees in our front yard....however, I was smitten with the larger cones. I then went by the garden center and they had these sugar cones for $1.99. YAY!
So, I brought them home and dresse them up a bit~
I used little white pearls, snowy glitter and a teeny tiny wreath on top. I used things I had on hand....a milk glass container and a candle holder. 
This one found a nice spot on the bathroom vanity. It sure adds a little sparkle!
During lunch yesterday I stopped by my favorite Home Depot store and I saw them throwing tree remnants away......in my trunk the pile went. I also grabbed part of a tree stump. :) Can you believe they just throw it away? I told them I would be back for more.
I have big plans for this.
Have a wonderful day~

Did I tell you that Trav's surgery went well? I can't remember who I told! I was surprised to see that I didn't post it on my blog but since I posted it on his I guess I thought I posted it on mine, lol! He's kept me hopping blogging his updates on his. It's been busy, but oh so very wonderful. Will the Genius be done with basic and able to come home for the holidays? She's a brave soul and I admire her so much.
