They were free for the taking for use at home. Lots of tree lots and such have such branches. My sister used to get them from the local floral store for free and make wreaths and decorations every year. {Cabinet making places usually also have free wood scraps for use making frames and such...but watch and don't burn any that have been treated.} I'm sure most of you already know this but maybe it can help someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-22186515948385966252006-11-30T12:58:00.000-06:002006-11-30T12:58:00.000-06:00We just moved to Ohio and the wreath on every wind...We just moved to Ohio and the wreath on every window is the decorating trend here for sure. It looke so expensive to do, but very nice. If I were to go for something like that, in the future, as we are low on cash now and won't go into debt, i would do a fake wreath on every window, with a live one for the front door. I have 8 windows across the front of my house and based on what I paid for a live wreath this year (to support the boy scouts) that would cost me $200 each year. Reusable seems the only way to go. good luck with your decorating.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958981528207127681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-7647122400453426132006-11-29T21:47:00.000-06:002006-11-29T21:47:00.000-06:00Neighbor Jayne, my husband played for USMA so this...Neighbor Jayne, my husband played for USMA so this game is the highlight of the football season for our family.<br /><br />Shannon, since this store didn't sell bulk grains or spices, I wouldn't say it's worth driving two hours to shop there. However, if you're in the area, it's a fun stop. Ask the visitor center just off the exit for directions. <br /><br />Anonymous, I'm cuddling and loving my babies as much as I can! It took us so long to have our second one, I don't want to take one second for granted. Luckily, staying at home with them all day gives me lots of time for projects in addition to all the sofa forts we can make : ) I feel so blessed to have this life!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-65570957891666824492006-11-29T13:58:00.000-06:002006-11-29T13:58:00.000-06:00A mennonite store in metter - that's only about 2 ...A mennonite store in metter - that's only about 2 hours from me!

Once I was taking Thing 2 for a specialist checkup, and the nurse (whose children were already grown) told me these words of wisdom:<br /><br />"ENJOY the kids in this season of your life. I have a neat clean house now ... and I would give anything to have someone who would turn over the couch to make a fort."<br /><br />The internet will still be there when your children want to spend more time with friends than with you.<br /><br />(The windows will still be there too.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-28992927438022228362006-11-29T07:10:00.000-06:002006-11-29T07:10:00.000-06:00too bad on the computer.....yeah if you do an eboo...too bad on the computer.....yeah if you do an ebook..include a holiday section too....am i being too pushy.lol....<br /><br />great find on the menonite store... and wow 12 front window....yes wreaths would look lovely....but i agree that is quite a bit....but i have no doubt you'll succeed...<br /><br />take care<br /><br />celina from canadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-82810206443846055462006-11-28T20:38:00.000-06:002006-11-28T20:38:00.000-06:00Wow!
