It’s a lovely thing!.

I left these boughs upside down in the metal bucket for about a week to dry out inside..When the week was up, I shook the boughs and most of the needles fell off right into the bucket.

Quite a few fell out onto the floor too, but I just swept them up and added them to my easter decor using a clear.tea light holder.and a. clear pedestal vase.

That’s really all it takes to bring a little fresh green Springyness into your world!They really keep their color too.

I had quite a big bag full of pine needles that I’d saved from cleaning up in January and they were still as green as can be!.

MORE LIKE THIS!.Here are a handful of my favorites that I’ve come across, some funny, some meaningful, and some kinda strange but still totally right on the money.

Weather you add these to your chalkboards, or just enjoy them here on the screen, here they are!.“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under the tree.” – Roy L. Smith.

“Christmas begins about the first of December with an office party and ends when you finally realize what you spent, around April fifteenth of the next year.” ~P.“Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.
