Christmas Mantel 2012 with a New “Woodsy” Creation!

I went for a “woodsy” theme this year.

See my little Hoot Owl hiding out?

I bought him while I was in Maine/LLBean.

Made the wreath out of hand painted pinecones.

And following with the whole pine cone thingy…

I came up with a couple of “woodsy” creations…

and this is what I made…

 

I call it my Sliced Wood Pine Cone Tree.

(You can see the downed trees in the background.)

Painted some pinecones and glued them to each layer of wood.

I topped it off with a sweater bird that once again… I got in Maine/LLBean!

Also, made another kind of tree…

I call this one my Sliced Wood Ornament Tree.

Very pleased with how both styles turned out!

Now onto the whole mantel…

Used the ol’ barn again…from this fall and last year’s

 Christmas Barn Mantel.

Use what cha got…right?

(I still love my barn)

Just added my trees, painted pinecones, some garland, a few ornaments and lights… and there ya have it!

NOW…

here’s the rest of my Christmas 2012 Mantel…

Here it is with our tree…

Hope you enjoyed the Christmas Mantel!

I’m off to clean the house and

make some Balsam Fir Pillows for the Home…

Post coming soon!

until then…
