OMG.
I am so far behind on everything Christmas-related this year.
I know people say to relax and enjoy the season, but it’s just not me to let things slide. In order to enjoy, I need to be on top of my game. That means that by now I should have the cards out, the presents purchased, and the decorations up.
I’m about 20% there. (Translation = I’m a total stress case right now.)
Over the weekend we got some decorating finished (including outdoor lights, which my poor husband had to set up in 18 degree weather and a snowstorm), so it’s feeling kind of merry around here.
One of the areas in my home lucky enough to be touched with some Christmas spirit was the mantel. This year I went with a rustic chic theme (it’s not a woodland theme, mom!), in the living room, and here’s how that played out on my mantel.
I love this idea! I am visiting from Craft O Maniac Link Party. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I want to know how to do the chalkboard art! Love your mantle, fireplace and bookcases on either side!
It’s beautiful! I love the Joy sign. I’d love for you to link up to The DIY’ers! http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-diyers-41.html
I love those!! SO pretty! Found you from SITS. 🙂
Hi, Meredith. Thank you! I’m so glad you commented . . . I used to follow your blog when it was Faking Picture Perfect (right?) . . . but then it was gone and I wasn’t getting updates anymore. I must have been because you changed sites! Anyway, I’m so glad to have “found” you once again. You’re a great writer with such funny and honest parenting insights.
I absolutely love your mantle decor! I had to pin and tweet :o) Thanks so much for sharing at The PINcentive Blog Hop! Hope you’re having a great Tuesday, and Happy Holidays :o)

Saw your mantle on Link Party Palooza and just stopped by to say I love it! So festive and fun!
