make-do

Usually for me Christmas is all about making-do

 with what I have when it comes to decorating.

I wanted to replace this 3-foot tree but decided to instead see what I could do with it.

I had Dakota Man make a wooden box to put it in...

(why do the bases always have to be so ugly?) and I stenciled it.

 Have you ever priced  wooden boxes!?

 

 

We spray painted the tree hoping to camouflage

 the awful-not-anything-like-real color of it.

 

 

I put old and sentimental ornaments on it

 as I like to theme our large tree.

Yup...I'm very happy with it.

(But I may go back and rearrange some of those ornaments.)
