More Christmas

I always post a picture of my Christmas mantel each year, and just realized I hadn't put it up yet this year yet!

I decided to take my favorite Christmas decoration (Thank you Mary Beth) and make it the centerpiece of my mantel this year. Then I added some extra clippings from the tree (asked if I could take them from the tree lot when they cut them off of mine) and created a cute little Christmas mantel.

My mom bought me the adorable ornament decoration and I picked up Mrs. Snowman at Homegoods. I added a short string of lights and some candles and my cute tiny Christmas tree picked up at the Neuse Sport Shop!



Here's the whole look put together!
























What do you guys think? Anyone have their adorable mantel decor to share?

    My mantel is awful this year! I am going to be inspired by you and actually make it pretty for next year. I will be hitting the after Christmas sales to help with my decor for next year. Wendy, you rock with all of your cute ideas!

    The fireplace roaring with the stockings makes me wish I had a fireplace. Also, you gotta love the kid playing Wii in those pictures.

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
