Decorating an Artificial Tree with Elegance

By Jackie H.

An artificial Christmas tree decorated with poinsettias and white lights.I always had a beautiful full fresh real Christmas tree until I became alone. It was just too much! So with my artificial tree, I had to start getting crafty with it! Let me show you! I went to the Dollar store and bought bunches of poinsettias & sprays of holly. I filled in all the spaces with these bunches and added a few sets of extra clear lights!

Lemon Lime Popsicles

By Holly

frozen Lemon Lime Popsicles in bowlA refreshing treat any time of the year! This recipe was based off one I found online for lime popsicles. I changed the recipe slightly to make them a little more mild. Optional: A little lemon brightens up the taste, but if you don't want to add lemon make sure you compensate with a full 2/3 cup lime juice.
