Twigs and Twirls: Snowman (Holiday) Mantel

I am excited to finally show you my mantel.

I have been dragging my feet with decorating.

Even my Mom yelled at me about it.

hehehe.

I love snowmen.

I have been collecting them for years.

I have also downsized my collection tremendously.

Moving a few times with do that to you.

So I wanted to feature them this year.

I actually FINALLY got some shutters.

Actually it was a bi-fold door that my Mom had from a project she did.

She cut it down for me.

I painted them a nice cheery red.

And it became my backdrop for.......

"In the meadow we can build a......."

SNOWMAN !!!!!

I am loving how it all came together.

All I purchased was the chipboard glitter letters at Michael's

And I made the plaid banner myself.

The letters are only stuck on so I can use it again for something else.

Garlands, ribbon and pinecones pulls it all together.

A couple of small pine trees in old mason jars.

I used epsom salt and small pinecones to hold the trees in place.

And added a tag.

Now the song is stuck in my head.
