Intentionally one that I can keep up all the way until December, haha!
Like I have mentioned I have been working overtime on grant writing, my professor did not like it so I wrote a second grant so he can decide which we will use...
Two grants at once? No biggie!
Yea right. Anyway I was really running close to not even bothering to decorate but I so badly wanted something. Since my bread was so delicious yesterday, I opted to allow myself this measley post for today.
Oh, and that bread made a fantastic grilled cheese for lunch with mozzarella and mushrooms. YUMMO!
Anyway I DO have some helpful tips for anyone looking to decorate on a budget. Depending on your size of a decoration, you may want to take advantage of a few different stores:
Dollar Tree: I love the DT for mirrors, rafia bundles, small wreath forms (sometimes), rocks/jewels, and vases- especially larger ones. You probably aren't going to find a decent vase for a buck at Hobby Lobby anytime soon. Even with your coupon.
Hobby Lobby: HL is so nice to put in season stuff on 40% off to make way for next season stuff (Christmas ornaments in July, anyone?). I actually got everything but the rafia above from HL. The decorative fall stems were under $1 a piece because they were 40% off. The small glass bottle was just what I wanted and ran about $1.50 since it was on discount as well.
I really cannot wait for this grant to be over. Even though there is another right after it. And one after that...and so on.
Someday, my dear awesome crafts, I will return. But until then...five second decorations it is.
And gumpaste.
And bread that raises over night...
And maybe more ice cream....
Teehee!
