Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales.

Cardboard Christmas Tree

Family Balance Sheet

The idea for the Cardboard Christmas Tree using recycled packing boxes was in the latest issue of Disney Family Fun Magazine and it caught my eye because of the pileup in my garage. I did most of my Christmas shopping online and I am left with the aftermath. It also looked like a great craft project for the kids.
