The little tree behind them was bought on clearance from walmart, the burlap tree was bought at a yard sale for $3, the red truck was bought at family dollar for $8. The cheese box that is on was bought at goodwill for 1.99 and the metal tray was bought at tractor supply on clearance for $12. 
     The truck sign was bought at dollar general for $3, the oil can arrangement was bought at a craft show years ago I can't remember the price but am sure it was under $10. The red truck countdown to christams as bought at dollar general for $5, the metal barn was bought at dollar general on clearance for 2.50, the candle ring under that was bought at a yard sale for $2 and the red truck metal basket was bought at walmart for 9.94.

Countdown To Christmas 2020-Day 16-Closer Look At Livingroom Wall

     Hello thrifty mommas!! It is day 16 of our countdown to Christmas and the start of the closer looks at my decor. This is the main wall in my livingroom I put a wreath that was found at goodwill for 2.99 in the middle of two barnwood shelves that stay up all year. 
     On the shelves I have a jar that lights up (they don't work for some reason trying to figure it out, probably battery issue) with a christmas tree and fake snow $3 at family dollar this year. A berry floral in a burlap sack from dollar general for $1 this year, a gnome ornament from family dollar for $1 this year. A pinecone floral spray from walmart for 1.48 this year and a windmill ornament from tractor supply for $4 this year. 
     Then I have a wooden sign that says merry with a wreath on it that is from walmart 5.97 this year and a red truck sign from dollar general for $3 from this year too. The mirror is always on my wall it has white chippy paint and I love it! Most of my decor was bought new this year because I got rid of a lot of decor I did not like anymore plus I am a lover of vintage Christmas to until that can be displayed fully I got these new items. 
  **P.S. The elves are not always on that wreath it just so happens I took the pic when they had sat on it**

Countdown To Christmas 2020-Day 10-Updated Livingroom Decor

     Hello thrifty mommas!! I may have jumped the gun a bit showing my livingroom in november but I was excited. Well here is the final placement for all my decor (it's not going to change now, mainly cause we only have 14 days till Christmas but I digress). Hope you enjoy and I am so happy with it, this is the first time I have decorated my whole livingroom in probably 4 years. My youngest is a tornado and a hurricane in one so I had to hold off with decorating but this year he has done good (nothing broken Yet??). As you can tell I fell down the rabbit hole of red truck and gnomes but look how cute!! I am doing a closer look at some of the places in my livingroom so keep checking back for those!

Countdown To Christmas 2020-Day 8-My "Memory" Christmas Tree At Night

     Hello thrifty mommas!! On countdown day 8 I am showing you what my christmas tree looks like at night. I am sure that it has been mentioned that the tree is my favorite part of Christmas. Almost every ornament on it has a memory attached. 
     I started collection ornaments when me and husband began dating from hallmark. So of course when my kids was born they got one every year too. There is also ones from my childhood or that remind me of my childhood. Also my most precious ornaments belong to my grandmother that I spent a lot of Christmas times with, they are so special to me and what began my love of vintage Christmas. 
     As you can tell the tree lights change from color to clear and it rotates around, the kids love to watch it! I love just setting and looking at the tree after the kids have went to bed at night it is so peaceful.

Walmart Beauty Box For Summer 2020

     Hello thrifty mommas!! This is my walmart beauty box for summer of 2020 (yes I just recieved this at the end of november for summer) these beauty boxes are known to be very behind in their shipping. So if you get this just know you won't get them in the right season but it is only $5. Sometimes these boxes are amazing and sometimes they are duds, this one is a bit of a dud but they are always worth the $5.

Countdown To Christmas 2020-Day 6-Bathroom Decor

     Hello thrifty mommas!! Of course you seen the title, I am attempting a countdown to Christmas and that today is already day 6 sooooo looks like this is starting out good. I usually do not decorate my bathroom but this year I just wanted to be festive all over my house. Plus we did renovate our bathroom this year so Ihave a bit more room on my sink for decor. There isn't a lot but what I did put up I really am enjoying. 
     I have a small tiered trays (I have a couple of these cause I love them so much) that has a few small items on it like the pencil tree and the reproduction santa. I also added a few new items that I picked up this year, peep the small gnome.... I love gnomes I have probably 20 now... I do not regret it..... Then I added greenery and small trees. On the wall is a cardboard sign I got at dollar general for $1 and it is so cute! I have a (of course) galvanized truck with a ceramic tree with snow on it in the back to match the tree towels above it. The small green towel was bought at family dollar this year and the other towels was kitchen towels that I bought at walmart about 2 years ago. I love how my bathroom turned out and may decorate it every year now!
