We'll be entertaining a couple of times over the holidays, so I'm in decor-mode right now. I thought I'd show you 5+ things that I did yesterday afternoon, without spending a single cent. You may have similar supplies at home. My decorating philosophy -- use what you have.

| 1) bowl of mini candy canes-- these are leftovers that I had in the pantry, bought at Dollar Tree last year |

| 2) cedar branches from our yard popped into a vase for an evergreen "bouquet" table centerpiece |

| 3) another bowl, but filled with tree ornaments--for the living room coffee table, we'll put the tree in a different room, but want decor for this room, too |

| 4) a large bell tied to the door knob with a ribbon--this is an auditory decor item, as well as visual |

| bonus, I've shown this to you before, pillar candles wrapped in sheet music and tied with a red ribbon--I found the sheet music online and printed at home for the cost of ink and 1 sheet of paper |
