Thanksgiving mantel
I used to have a huge collection of FALL/THANKSGIVING home decor but it was damaged while in storage so I am using what little I had left and a few things I have purchased recently but I still need more!
This is a puny mantel compared to my Halloween & Christmas mantels but will do for now.
This year I made the thankful painted sign, the burlap banner & the small feather felt banner over the smoke screen! Not much but it's quaint enough for this year.
Off to check out some other folks' holiday mantel --- happy holiday prep

Nativity ornament
I know I'm not alone when I say that I think next to Instagram the coolest app and most addicting has to be PINTEREST - I mean while I don't sit for hours at a time, I think you could probably add up the different times a day I do use it to equal out about 2-3 hours over a 10 hour day - 1/2 hour here 10 minutes there...but I love looking for fun PINS to try and this is one of them...
Here is my version. Which I love❤️ I wanted to add some color to my ornament so I painted Mary & Joseph a light cream color and added a bitty blanket to keep Baby Jesus warm. I love the how similar but totally different they are.
Anyway you only need a few things to make these ornaments:
A large star ( painted gold) 2 vintage or old looking clothespins adding some cream paint you'll also need a smaller peg doll for Baby Jesus, who I also painted cream the. Cut a small piece of gold felt into a square and wrap up the Baby and tie off with some jute... Cuteness all around.
Hope you are getting your holiday crafting on. Talk soon - xo
I'll be linking this up to the parties above.
