Around the House [New Years Mantel]

When thinking about this mantel I wanted something that was romantic and showed the importance of time. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind but I really love the way it turned out.

Around the House [Christmas Mantel]

2012 Christmas Mantel

Even when life gets busy I don't stop crafting... I just stop taking pictures of what I create! (sorry about the quality... its from my instagram account)

The Details (left to right):

The gingerbread house: purchased at Michaels and I put it together (tons of fun)

All of the Christmas Trees: Made with hot glue, yarn/garland and varying sizes of Styrofoam cones.. one hot mess of fun

Holiday Wreath: Bought fake pre-lit one from Michaels and added some extra prettys

Santa: Tree topper cut down to look better next to the Advent Calendar (purchased at Michaels)

Advent Calendar: Purchased at Target I was unable to change it up in time for Christmas but I will make this better for next year!

Stockings: Purchased from Personal Creations, very happy with these... just buy them early (like October)

Don't know why

I don't know why I've stopped posting here... I didn't stop making things... I just stopped taking pictures.


I'll be posting some crafts I've done over the last few months and some new stuff as I make it...

Sorry about being MIA

Happy New Year to all!
