I am determined to blog everyday in December. I have lots to talk about!! First, it's starting to look like Christmas time around here and I'm getting SO excited to bake and make Christmas dinner.
This is our mantle for our woodburning fireplace in our home. I decorated the mantle for Fall with garland and pine cones and it look cute, but I LOVE this theme. It's not completely done yet because I really want some clear lights on it and I think I might hang some of the smaller silver balls from the greenery. I bought the stocking holders from Target on the day after Thanksgiving and I love them! They are nice and heavy. 
I bought the vases from Michael's and they were filled with pinecones but they are SO pretty with the teal/icey blue and silver ornaments. I think it looks great! Now if we could just get some pictures up on that bare wall above the fireplace.
I am also almost finished with my homemade Christmas cards! All I have left to do is cut and paste the sentiments inside of the cards and they will be good to go. I'm so happy that I actually finished so many and have the cards all addressed and ready to go (except that top stack, it's waiting for addresses).
I'll be back tomorrow either talking about football or swap cards, hmm, which one??
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Your decorations look great, Courtney! I'm a little jealous... we had a wood-burning fireplace in our last house and I miss it a lot! Hope you're stayin' warm! :)
Lovin' the mantle!!! Wanna come decorate my house next? Daniel is off most of the week (he's working tonight and tomorrow night, then is off until like next Wednesday or something) so we're going to decorate. I think I need some garland and... something...
