[Jinxie228]

@Lethesunshine I wish I had taken the time to buy more flowers, but I just used what I had at the moment. lol I love the candy canes because if you give it away -- someone else gets the candy. lol

Hugs to ya Mimi!

[Jinxie228]

@smissmurray  Thank you so much! It's simple and it could have been better but we learn each time we might something. Take care and thanks for stopping by

[GlimpseAfterGlimpse]

not bad at all....i love doing projects like that.

[Jinxie228]

Me too, I need to take more videos or pictures of things I've made around here. I'm cheap and I enjoy making things and I hate shopping unless its for supplies to make things.

[yoyomax12]

This was really nice, will keep it in mind for next year, thanks Martha

[Jinxie228]

Thank you! Cheap is my middle name! lol I appreciate you taking a look!

[Jinxie228]

Awe thank you!  The New year is almost here! Have a great one!!!

[Rachele77]

Love it. Thanks for participating in my contest sweetie! =)

[Jinxie228]

Awe, you're welcome,I love sharing special memories!

[RiverBirch1967]

I love it.

[Jinxie228]

I love ya River! Merry Christmas! I see we are both up early celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! Blessings to you my friend and sister in Christ!

[silverscreamgrl]

I love your "cheap" centerpiece! I think I'll make one, if we have candycanes. I don't think we do. Eeps.

[Jinxie228]

Do ya have some potpourri or cinnamon sticks?hmmm that would smell good.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Beth. Its been a wonderful year of friendship with you and so many others. I am very Blessed!

Love,

Martha

[silverscreamgrl]

I did another one. I need to convert it. I used little Christmas balls/ornaments and topped it off with the pretty flowers. I hadn't thought of adding in flowers before. I've only ever used large hurricane type vases and filled it with beautiful colored potpourri before. I will post what I did late last night :)

[Jinxie228]

Ooooooooh yeah, that sounds great. Being creative is the key. I can't wait to see it!

[mrniceguy28431]

That is so cool. I could never do anything like that.

[Jinxie228]

Thank you! You are a very creative guy.. I know you can do it, maybe even better. Merry Christmas!

[Jinxie228]

Very cool Ashley! Merry Christmas!

[blueclouds4me]

Martha,

That is really pretty!! I love the idea, hmmmmmmmm, just thinking, I bet one could keep the candy canes and reuse the vase for other holidays;-)

Merry Christmas to you and yours and may 2009 bring "Peace on Earth";-)

Hugs

Marylou

xxoo

[Jinxie228]

Marylou, Thank you and yeah reuse it for other holidays.  It looks good with red carnations! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. Blessings and Hugs to you! ~Martha

[1DRock37167]

[Jinxie228]

Michael! Merry Christmas! Thank you! Hugs and stuff!

[mumbaidoug]

Very nice...and what could be better than a centerpiece that you can eat when you're done with it! You did a great job with it. ;) -Doug

[Jinxie228]

Exactly, pass out the candy canes to everyone. Another cool thing, kids can make it too, soooooo simple! Thanks Doug and Merry Christmas!

[macomarell]

How clever.

Love the candy cane idea!

[Jinxie228]

Thank you!  I thought it was cute!

[millie73]

Cheap things can look just as beautiful as expensive things thou....dont't you think! this looks very lovely.I would have this for my table.....so when you going to send one!!! :-) only teasing lol. Happy christmas x

[Jinxie228]

Happy Christmas to you too! Yes, I agree, cheap things can look just as beautiful as expensive things. If I had your address, it would sooooo be there.

Hugs to ya!

[angelboku1]

Oh Martha, I Love It!! How creative! Now I need to head to the Dollar Store, pick me up a few supplies and make one of my own!  It's beautiful, just like YOU!!!!

Love and Hugs!

Merry Christmas!!

~Angie

[Jinxie228]

Angie, I'm glad you liked it! Gotta love the Dollar store, you owe me picture if you make one. I didn't do my like the one I seen in the magazine but I figured that's what creativity is all about, right, right. lol

Merry Christmas to ya

Sending you Hugs and love,

Martha

[Dianasme]

That is beautiful, and also very creative. My little grey cat would be chewing the ribbon and have the rest of the stuff all over the house. lol I love your creativity !

Merry Christmas to you and your family ! Blessings and Hugs - Diana xxxx

[Jinxie228]

Thank you Diana! Not good for cats! If I found my 100 pound dog on the table I would not be happy. lol

Merry Christmas and Many Blessings my friend! Hugs and stuff, Martha

[blondbabe272001]

This is a cool idea =D

I think I am going to try this..I really like it.

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!!

[Jinxie228]

Hey girl.. ya know the kids can have the candy canes too.. since they stay wrapped. lol

Merry Christmas!

[buglady58]

Wow, that was so easy, but turned out so nice! go martha!!

[Jinxie228]

Awe thanks Gail! It turned out better than I thought it would.

[moomay11649]

You are a woman of many talents.

I think it is beautiful. My 11 cats would knock it over.

They downed the Christmas tree.

Loves,

Moo

[Jinxie228]

I also like the family room picture with those little trees that have lights.

[Jinxie228]

Thank you Norman! I love my family room too! Hugs to ya my friend!

[waterchicklet]

Yea but those flowers make eating the candy canes hella hard.  ;) Love topiary trees... woot!

[Jinxie228]

Those flowers keep me out of the candy canes. lol I love those trees too.. They use to set outside but I thought what they hay I will put them inside this year. lol

[AnthonyDeaton]

That's really pretty and festive, Martha! I hope you and your family have an outstanding holiday, and I hope that 2009 is a rewarding and beautiful year for you all :)

[Jinxie228]

Anthony, GREAT to see you! I appreciate you stopping by. Bless your heart! We wish you a wonderful holiday and fantastic new year.

[mysteryglo]

That is a really nice centerpiece Martha! And it seems real easy to do. I may just try this one! :D

[Jinxie228]

Judy, I forgot to mention I took some of the leaves off. I had so many left over I think I will make a wreath out of them. lol

Please try it. It is easy!
