Frugality = Resourcefulness + Creativity = Less Expense :D Winner!

Christmas 2012's theme was A December to Remember. I thought of having a retro and vintage motif.

Vintage because people are attached to their memories and identify themselves with their past. And the most interesting pop-art then was in the Retro era. So here we go....

We made these christmas trees and ninja stars from old Avon brochures (thanks Mommy Rache!) and recycled Nescafe Alegria and Starbucks coffee cups.

We didn't expect to win the bay deco contest, but i guess the spirit of creativity and resourcefulness prevailed over aesthetics. The major plus was probably from the i ♥ mother earth idea. Well, thank you judges. Whoever you are :)
