Richly Blessed: Christmas Mantle Decor + Free Printables {Noel, Peace, Joy Burlap Banners}

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! :)
