Photo courtesy of organizedclutter.comUse old scraps of book and cut squares descending in size. Use a thick piece of wire and stick down into a pot filled with stones or floral sponge. Start placing larger squares at bottom rotating the points of each page – these become your branch tips. Go as high as you want – it does take time Top with a star or ornament of your choosing. You could spray paint this to give a unique look but I like the raw book pages because it is rather rustic.
Just use construction paper and the scarf is made from a piece of wrapping paper. Cute – Cheap – Easy! It really does stand out if you have a white door. Think about other ideas that could be used with different door colors – an elf can be made with many different door colors – red could be Santa or Mrs Clause – brown could be a gingerbread man!

The StoreMore Adjustable Lid Holder makes it easy to store and organize all of your pot and pan lids in the cabinet or pantry. Save space and reduce clutter by storing lids vertically. I love this – and no more pan lids without a real home!
This smart cabinet organizer features seven wire dividers that can be adjusted to perfectly fit lids so they stay upright and separated. A deep U-shaped bend in each divider was designed to accommodate all types of handles. These dividers are really strong – not like the wire used in some that are like wire used in cheap wire coat hangers. It’s easy to find and remove one lid at a time while cooking! Coated steel wires are strong and secure, so they won’t bend, pop out or scratch lids.
A unique base design centers round lids to prevent them from rolling out. Four large soft feet keep the organizer firmly in place inside the cabinet. No mounting or installation required. This too, is a good strong plastic – not flimsy at all.

I have been shopping for a new wallet for some time now – afraid to buy one that costs money and still won’t hold up. I came across the Shimmy Kahana Men’s Luxury wallet on Amazon and since I have free shipping with Prime and the fact that the company offers a full return I thought I would give it a shot.
The wallet arrived and at first glance I am very happy. This bi-fold wallet has an attractive design with a snap cover which allows you to close the wallet tightly. It is made from genuine black cowhide so you know it is durable and has cloth-polyester jacquard fabric on the inside which provides a beautiful look to this wallet.
The inside has 6 card slots – thank goodness for this since I have lots and lots of cards! Does anyone know why they carry so many cars when most of them are never used? Never mind! It also has a clear identification slot and a large opening for cash.
This would make a great gift for a birthday, wedding, Christmas or other special event because it looks expensive and well made and comes in a great little gift box like you would get in a nice department store. It also comes with a matching leather key fob with a very strong 0-ring to keep keys on that will never fall off.
The wallet measures 5.4” x 3.6” x 0.5” and the key chain measures 2” x 0.75 x 0.2”. Perfect gift for men, husbands, fathers, salesmen, businessmen, officials, or anyone needing an attractive wallet with excellent workmanship.
