Making the Most of Our Christmas Tree

This year we decided to cut down our own Christmas tree.  We haven't done that since Princess' first Christmas.  We certainly ended up paying for the experience, as we don't have any friends or land of our own to go cut one down on.  The experience was well worth it, but I like to get the most for my dollar.  So I'm going to attempt to take the needles from our lovely balsam fir and make them into draft stoppers.  My goal is to try to make 2 for us as well as some for gifts next year.  Maybe if they come out well, I might even try to make a few to sell.  I found general directions to start with:  see it on Pinterest here.  I am sure I will make my own variation once I get to the actual sewing part.  Putting the money spent on the Christmas tree toward saving money on heat, sounds great to me!  What do you spend money on that you can in turn use to save money in another area?

  1. I'm Serenity Autumn , currently living in Texas city, USA. I am a widow at the moment with Four kids and I was stuck in a financial situation in May 2019 and I needed to refinance and pay my bills. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success, and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, I was introduced to a woman of God a private loan lender who gave me a loan of 850,000.00 USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan without collateral , no credit check, no co signer with just 2% interest rate and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact Mr Pedro On Email pedroloanss@gmail.com He doesn't know that I am doing this but I am so happy now and I decided to let people know more about him and also I want God to bless him more.
