Christmas Mantel
I took a minute out of my drawer building madness to hang something on the wall above the fireplace. I tried a few different shapes but circles and rectangles got in the way of the antlers on that tattered iron deer. I found this star (that I bought years ago for my IL basement and never hung) out in the garage and tried it.
It’s perfect and I didn’t even have to paint it! Love it when things work out just right without a lot of fiddle-factor.
Goodness knows there’s enough fiddle-factor going on in other areas of the house.
As in my Master Closet that is taking me a lifetime to build! Speaking of which, I’d much rather be Christmas caroling or shopping, or baking cookies or doing something festive like that. But, I keep thinking that if I can just finish the last few things in there, it’s going to be the MOST AMAZING CHRISTMAS GIFT I could ever give myself (and Wes, of course)!
So I’ll keep plugging away! Wishing you all holiday cheer and hoping you are making progress on your own projects. 17 Days!

Hi. I’m Sandra.
I'm a crafter, DIY'er, home renovator and builder of "STUFF". We move frequently so I get lots of chances to buy a house and then tear it up so I can put my mark on it before we sell it and move again. I hope you'll join me on my DIY adventure as I start all over again.

Love that star Sandra. Kudos to you for breaking from business to get the decorations up – the closet will be there even after Christmas.
Sometimes you have to dig yourself out of the hole and come up for air. LOL!
Looks wonderful Sandra! You are one busy lady! May you and your family have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
LOVE. IT. Perfect!

Kayce, you need to put this comment on the other post so it will be in the random drawing. I like that you liked them though! LOL
Love all the sparkly mercury glass! I love when you remember to use something you already have and you use it as is, oh s easy and spot on!

We all need a few of those moments in our life. I’d love one a week minimum, but no one is taking orders.
Wow! Very pretty. I like that you didn’t have to fiddle with it. LOL
Thanks Brandy. Christmas decorating shouldn’t involve fiddle factor, I say. Except untangling the lights. That’s a tradition I’d be sad to let go of.
Love those deer! Beautiful mantle!
Thanks-a-mundo for the post.Really thank you! Want more.
