This year I decided to take the advice of all the bloggy experts and start from scratch.
I moved the family painting (don't you love this?)
I started by scrubbing off the mantle ~once a year this is a good plan. OK ... on to the elf work :-)
I collected mirrors from around the house, and layered those.
another collection of glass candlesticks
and vases with jingle bells
A garden angel who just looks perfect.
Now... It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Merry Christmas y'all!

Music always helps me remember the reason for the season. Maybe it'll help you too.
Happy Blue Monday, Sandi.
I have a hard time, but I am hoping this year it will swing the other way!
Happy Holiday Sandi- Peace to you and your family in this season- love the decorations by the way...love love mirrors too!
Lovely shades of blue. I love your mantles after picture. Happy Blue Monday.
Love the mantle.
Happy Blue Monday.
Getting ready
As Sally suggested, music will help, but so will a visit to the mall to see the little ones visit with Santa. I hope you have a great day and enjoy all that Blue Monday Brings your way. Blessings...Mary
What you did for your mantel looks very nice. I tend to like the family painting.
Everything looks very nice, love how you decorated the mantle.
Thanks y'all for the cheerful words. I guess I should say... it's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas :-)
Hi sweet friend! It's good to be back home from our NY trip and I'm enjoying myself as I visit my blog friends to see what everyone has been doing while I was away.
Love your mantle...very pretty!
Hugs,

It is sometimes hard to "get in the spirit". Looks like you are off to a good start! I love the jingle bells in the vases. And, yes, I do love the family painting!
Looks so pretty! I wish I had a mantle to decorate!
Sandi it looks so pretty! Worth the wait.
