    Oh, you and your festive holiday craftiness! You continue to inspire me, although I will never be as crafty as you. Or as organized, but that's beside the point. xo

    Very pretty, Angie! I really love how your mantel turned out. I am, happily, sitting back and enjoying my decorations. So glad I've decided to just leave it alone now and look for inspiration for next year at this point.

    I love so many things about this post I don't even know where to start! haha I used a lot of the same colors in my decorating this year, too, so naturally I am drawn to it. 😉

    That hot cocoa bar is GENIUS and I also love the 3-tiered ornament tray. Totally pinning some of your ideas!
