Here is our mantle this year...I decorated it the week of Thanksgiving. I am very proud of myself. This is our second Christmas in this house, and as many of you know, this used to be Jason's parents home. My mother-n-law had garland made for this mantle, and she let me keep it since it was the perfect measurements. Last year, she came over and helped me arrange it, and she showed me how to curl the ribbons. But, this year, I did it by myself! Yay! This is one of my fave rooms in our house around Christmas b/c I like sitting by the fire and watching TV, and having that all of the decorations around us....it's such a cozy room. Only one thing....it is NOT childproof at all!
