Christmas was in full swing around here this weekend...and I loved every second of it! On Friday night, we did some Christmas shopping, checked out Santa's Wonderland at Bass Pro Shops {can't wait to take our baby there next year!} while Daniel added to his Christmas list ;), and had peppermint chocolate chip milkshakes at Chick-fil-A. That milkshake will definitely not be the only one I have before Christmas. Wow. SO good.
On Saturday, we wrapped some presents, I worked on addressing our Christmas cards {I finally decided on Snowy Window from Shutterfly, by the way}, and we did a little more Christmas decorating. I've never decorated our mantle before and I really wanted to this year. I kept it simple, but I think it turned out pretty cute.
I printed this cute Christmas subway art on eighteen25. They have several other colors to choose from, too.
I've seen a lot of Christmas burlap banners used on mantles on Pinterest and I really liked the look, but I didn't want to buy any more decorations or supplies this year, so I just made one on the computer and hung it up with some red tulle. It doesn't have the exact same look, but I'm happy with it for now.
I also made banners with the words "Peace" and "Joy" on them. I think I'm going to put one of those in our kitchen and display Christmas cards around it. Click the links below to download printables of your own! :)
Also, if you don't have a Christmas to do list yet, check out my Christmas bucket list post! Have a wonderful week!! :)
These are beautiful! Great job. I'm hosting a giveaway for a beautiful chandelier that you should enter! http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/12/master-bedroom-reveal-and-chandelier.html
