Decorating: Fireplace Mantel

We moved into our new place back in August,

I found out I was pregnant in September,

October, November and December flew by!

Now that it is the end of February,

I have finally found the motivation
to get some decorating done! 

I have been seeing a lot of nicely decorated fireplace mantels,

so I thought I would start there :}

Here is what I did!!

As you can see I started with a pretty blank slate!

I found the FAMILY sign at Micheal's for 40% OFF
{plus I never forget my coupons} 

so that was another 40% OFF which came out to about $3!!

I knew I had a couple of pillar candles,

and had seen somewhere {can't remeber where} 

decorative paper wrapped around them
to give them a different look!

Michael's had their 12x12 sheets on SALE
for 25 cents each {score!}

Everything else I had around the house :}

A quick, easy and inexpesive redecorating project!

I LOVE IT!!
