Snowman Mantlescape

Hello Ladies!
Can you believe that in two short weeks, Christmas Day will be here?!  How are you doing with all of your preparations?  I finally got our house all decked out from head to toe, but of course there always seems to be last minute decorating and crafting projects calling my name!!  Today I wanted to give you a little "tour" of our mantle, which I have decorated with my beloved snowmen.

I just love this little guy!  He looks vintage, though he is not, and of course he came covered in glitter!

Candles, snowmen and greenery.

 My mom gave me this pair of dapper looking wooden snowmen candleholders years ago. Aren't they cute?

I made several of these votives last year.  I just took some glass votives that I already had on hand, and used a bit of Mod Podge to adhere some scrapbooking paper with a sheet music motif.  Easy, peasy!!

 

 This little cutie is one of my favorites!!

 I made this large pinecone wreath several years ago from pinecones that I collected on our walks. It's really heavy!  Until yesterday, it was in it's natural state.  I decided to spray it with some Heirloom white, and then added a bunch of Martha glitter.  I do like the way the Heirloom white makes it pop against the dark brick, though I wish that I'd have used a bit less of the paint and let some more of the natural color show thru!  Oh well, no going back now!!

And here is a look with all of the lights off, and a roaring fire going!

Santa Paws!  What a serious looking little face! Notice her jingle bell collar?

And here it is with the lights on!  Fun and festive!  I usually wait 'til Christmas Eve to put our stockings up.  Part of that reason is that they do not match like so many of yours!:)  I've been trying my best not to buy anything new this Christmas, decor wise, and I'm not much of a seamstress, so I haven't taken the time to make matching ones.  Maybe I will get brave between now and Christmas and try and stitch some up!
Well, thanks so much for joining me on the tour!  Can't wait to see what you talented girls have been up to!  Have a great weekend!
