Best Thrift Store Find

Hey everyone,
I had decided not to do a tree this year because we always get a live one and we are going to be gone for over two weeks for Christmas and I didn't want to come home to a poor decrepit tree.
I was going to go to the thrift store yesterday but never got around to it. I am so glad I went today instead. You can imagine my excitement when I saw a big box with pine needles sticking out. I asked the clerk for help with it and we looked through the box for all the parts. They hadn't gone through it and weren't sure if everything was there so she said I could have it for.................ONE DOLLAR! So I rushed home and pulled it all out and set it up, every last piece was in the box! S.C.O.R.E. I'm so excited about it I feel giddy! Can't wait to see her all decked!!!

7 want to talk about it:

Awesome! I get like that when I get a good deal too. This year we actually have a real tree...for only the second time since we've been married. It is a new and exciting thing for our kids and they can't wait to decorate it.

Now all you have to do is go to Bath and Body Works and buy some of the Balsam wallflowers and plug them in and your home will smell like you have a real tree. Great find, and I'm happy you're going to have a tree the kids will love it.

Holy Cow Kim!! That rocks! It's a Christmas miracle! I wasn't going to put up a tree this year either, but it sure does help your spirits when you do! YEA!!
