Frugal Decor

Here in the Philippines the Christmas season began the end of October, just after the Day of the Dead where they visit graves and pray for the souls of dead relatives. 

It is impressive what can be done to decorate when you think reuse and recycle.

Love this use for old cd's.  

A Christmas tree made completely of beer cans.  

Bottle tops, peeled back soda cans, and old shells.

Understated but leaving no doubt that this, too, is a Christmas tree.

We've just returned from 9 days on the island of Panay.  We traveled with the Johnstons, a few of our single lady friends, and the Russells even showed up for a few days.  We had a great trip and I'll be posting more pics.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and my Dad's birthday!  Happy Birthday Dad!
