We Have a Mantle!

First, I wanted to thank y'all for your sweet comments on my post yesterday! I was so glad to hear I'm not the only one who reacts like that. I feel a little less crazy now :) 
And, I've been a little absent from reading and commenting this week because I've been re-reading Breaking Dawn before the midnight premiere on Thursday! But I'm almost done so you'll be hearing from me soon :)

So in my living room post, I mentioned how our fireplace doesn't have a mantle and that our stockings will have no place to hang! Well, Amanda's comment basically saved Christmas...

Seriously...how did I not think of this!? It's GENIUS, Amanda! :)

So the fireplace went from this:

to this:




SO MUCH BETTER!

The shelf is from Pottery Barn, and I realized I had a gift card from our wedding, so it was almost free!

Now we'll be able to enjoy lots of stocking candy :)

Also, today is the last day to sign up for our Ornament Swap!



Happy Wednesday!
