Decking My Halls

I have been so excited to decorate at my apartment, mostly because I have been a crazy blog stalker and have found some REALLY cute ideas on some really crafty blogs!! I have made frequent visits to my local thrift store and also to the dollar store!! And I of course made multiple trips to one of my favorite stores.... Hobby Lobby!!

Here are some of the things I have done!

Remember my "BOO" letters?? Well I decided to add some "JOY"

to our mantel! I think I like them.....I am just not quite sure

about the grey sparkly paper on the "O".... They don't

really match the rest of the Christmas

decor I have made... Oh well I guess!!

This next part may just be my favorite!! 

I got the idea from one of my new favorite blogs.....

{House of Smiths}!!

Please don't look at how cute hers is compared to

mine!!  

 My next project came from eighteen25!!

I saw these trees and though they were so

cute! This is were my thrift shopping came

in {the candle stick holders only cost me

around .50 each}! I also saved my Roberts

and Michaels coupons so I could get the trees

40%-50% off!!

And here is the whole mantel put together!!

Check back later for my post about my Christmas tree!! I am pretty excited

about that too!!!
