Bella's Mantle ~~ featuring the candle stick Christmas Trees

How much do you guys love FREE decorating? How much???
There are not many things I love more than making new things from things I already have. 
Not spending any money is awesome, even if you have it to spend, I don't believe in spending just because. 
In the spirit, of ALWAYS making do, I created this Christmas mantle, of course with all things I already own. I bought some red candle sticks from goodwill, last year, and they have sadly been stuffed into a corner, and been forgotten about. I've had these little Christmas tree for years, and hardly ever put them out. I got them, with the pearls, and pipe cleaner, and that's how they've stayed since, UNTIL now. 

Check out my NEW Chritmas Mantle, and I didn't spend a dime.

Goodwill, Candle holder swirling thingy!!!!

Man oh man, I love the Goodwill, and yard sale shopping. There's nothing better than finding good deals. I saw this awesome candle holder, and it was perfect. I knew I wanted something tall, for my buffet area, for the party, Something to add soem height, but not get in the way, and just my luck found this beauty, last week. I thought ok, candles would be perfect, then I don't know how I ended up with apples, but shoot, I love it so much. Since we will have tons of vampires, at the party, the whole apple thing, twilight theme, is perfect. I added some skeletons, and eyeballs, and a few crows perched on it.

I would prefer it to be more black , rather than the silver, but again, will totally do for now, I'm not about to go spray painting anything is I don't have to.

Let me know what you think!!!!






As always ENJOY!

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and baking. In fact my mother and I have been making cakes for over 30 years. I also love gardening, traveling, and all things crafty. I struggle daily to keep my like organized, along with my never ending battle to keep the house clean. I adore my three kids MOST of the time, and can usually be found doing the mom thing from morning till night. I try to catch a few mommy moments, but those are hard to find in this wonderful life of mine. I am blessed and happy, and am thrilled you stopped by today :)
