score

last night i scored. big time. i went to marshall's to get a christmas tablecloth. because when i was at wal-marts earlier in the evening they had some but they were $15.00. now, the wednesday before thanksgiving i scored a fall tablecloth for $3.00 on clearance at marshall's. i knew the christmas ones weren't going to be on clearance but i thought they would have a better selection. and they would be cheaper. so, i drove over ten miles to get to marshall's. found a tablecloth i liked. and it was $24.99. good thing i passed up that one for $15.00. anyway, while i was there i found a product that i was familiar with but hadn't known they made this particular item. awhile ago, i bought the kids these vinyl reusable wall art scenes for each of their bedrooms. ingenious invention. i have already had to move some of will's. worked like a charm. so when i saw a vinyl reusable christmas tree last night a marshall's i thought i had died and gone to heaven. it came complete with the tree. a tree skirt. garland. and ornaments. last year we were only able to put up a small tree. on top of a table. so the destruction diva couldn't get at it. this year i put my rusty barbed wire tree up on the same table. you know, to discourage them from touching. well, that isn't exactly working. barbed wire won't even keep them away. i think i have it licked with this find. that'll teach them.

  1. what a great idea! we still have our charlie brown tree that we got before we were married (the "golden years"). we put that up with lights only, no ornaments. Damn devils at our house still knock it over everyday! Crazy cats haven't been outside in over ten years and they still think they need to climb a tree! :)
