Wrapping it up...well, maybe...

So I started decorating 2 weeks ago...and just when I think I'm almost done, I decide to add something.  I'm pretty sure my family is pretty sick and tired of the bins and assorted decorating necessities cluttering up the dining room table.  So I guess I'm gonna "wrap it up" for this year.  Pack away the ribbons and glass balls and sit back and enjoy it for the next couple of weeks.  Here's just a peek at what I've been up to...I'll post more when I get my mess cleaned up ;)

Wreath holders made from perfectly chippy handrail brackets...

Funky little angels here and there...and twigs and twine everywhere...

My son and I spent an afternoon folding these book trees.  So much fun...it brought back memories of the Reader's Digest trees I made in Pioneer Girls a "few" years back.

Love this little sleepy angel all comfy in this sugar bowl.

Here's a shot of my "Happy Place" all decked out.

The mantle stayed pretty much the same...with a few little "festive" additions. 

A mixture of handmade and vintage ornaments adorn this tree.

We have fake trees...as per my hubby's "request".  So I sneak in real greens wherever I can.  These are actually little potted trees...and they are still alive, that's a Christmas miracle for sure!

I've been having fun with these big jars...so many fun ways to fill'em up!

Last but not least, I have a small collection of nativity sets scattered around...reminding us of the real reason for the season.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given..."

Isaiah 9:6

I plan to post more when I get my "junk" cleaned up...but until then, wishing many Christmas blessings to you and yours.  Enjoy this magical time of year!
