RENEE at ElfRenee!

Congratulations Renee, and Happy early Christmas!

I was blown away at how many of you entered to win! I am so thankful for each of you who stopped by

THANK YOU!

Well, I finally finished my mantel for Christmas! Not much has been getting done lately because I have been so overwhelmed with work and school, so this is a major accomplishment! I thought I'd share a few pictures because I love looking at how other people decorate- especially for Christmas!

Did anyone else see the White House Christmas on HGTV? I finally got to watch it today. I'm going to try and save it all year on the DVR. So much inspiration for next year! It makes my little mantel look a little unimpressive. But that's ok, I like it :)

So much has been going on, I can't wait to share it all with you! Perhaps this weekend we'll have a little coffee chat and I'll fill you in on everything that's been going on lately, along with some pictures of Christmas cheer around here. Can't wait!
