I have seen SO many creative, inexpensive, beautiful Christmas decorating ideas around blogland recently and just had to share them with you! I love them all!! Go check these ladies out for more info on all of these goodies. (I linked to the post where these can be found.)

And Ashley @ Domestic Fashionista:
Ummm... can you say...EASY. CHEAP. (Sorry.) And FAST??
Christmas Silhouette from Nikki @ Project Domestic Bliss:
Oh how I love Ballard. (Salivate...) This looks amazing and she did it for a fraction of the price of the Ballard version. I dare you to tell which one's which! I'm SO doing this next year.
You could use a cookie tray you already have for these! Don't have any gingerbread men? Make the gingerbread "cookies" found at Buzzings of a Queen Bee:
All you need is powdered cinnamon, applesauce and glue!
For cheap artwork Fawn e-mailed me this idea:
She covered canvases with wrapping paper. Brilliant! You could do this with just about ANYTHING -- artwork you already have, frames, etc. I actually have wrapping paper I bought just to do this in my home, but I'm not sure if I'll tackle it this year or not. I have my own spin in mind...we'll see!
Would you believe this is an actual skirt -- a ladies skirt? She went to a thrift store and found it. It's stunning! Speaking of tree skirts...I made my own with fabric from Joann's:
I use a few yards of a red faux silk and then top it with a red organza fabric. I love that it's so fluffy. And I can easily throw it in the wash if needed. Best part -- it's a fraction of the cost of a "real" skirt.

Erin @ Shades of Color had two things I had to show you! These adorable candy canes and swirls she painted herself:
And I adore her ornaments:
I made these too but I think hers are just adorable. You need glass ornaments, and any kind of festive scrapbook paper. She finished them off with rub-ons. Love it!
