While searching the internet I couldn't seem to find any decorating Ideas that were realistic for a middle class family budget or those who want to DIY. So, i decided why not post my pictures of things i have created just to give others an idea. I know when i go online, it is to look at the photos for ideas. One of the main tools i use is the cricut machine. It can be found here
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Cricut-Expression-Personal-Electronic-cutting-machine-Customer-Choice-Value-Bundle/15523485 i believe who ever created it, was a genesis without doubt. Here's a look at things I've made with it.

| Simple table banner. I wanted something different than the ordinary stuff you buy at partycity.com or other websites. It is made with just paper & a glue stick. | | |
 |
| This is part of my daughters birthday banner that isn't done. I can not wait to finish it. I will show you one made for my cousin completed. |

| This is my cousin's birthday banner completed. It is again just paper & glue. I will say that they are very very time consuming depending how many layers of paper you want & the size you want. It gets a little tiring. That would explain why they sell at about 30$. I sell them for 20$ because i know what its like to want something different & nice But be able to afford it. |
 |
| This is just a party favor i made. extremely simple to make. As you see its just a small bag found at party city or you can get them online way cheaper. I will make another blog with websites for cheaper party things. Anyways a small piece of string & a tag i printed myself. |

| This is a birthday button i made for my daughter, materials bought at Michaels.com nothing more than some felt, ribbon & a glue gun. I added the flowers & buttons, you can get as created as you like. & they are way better than the standard ugly birthday ribbons they sell at party stores for 6$. |

| Here is another one i made, i printed the happy birthday part & mickey face. But you can make that on the cricut or buy stickers. the rest is card stock paper & ribbon. |
