Christmas Mantel Linkup?

 (my transformed Christmas wreath)

Sorry for the horrible pics

I only had my camera phone handy.

(but I do have Picnik) 

Quick question -  

I just was wondering if any of you knew

if I still have time to link-up

to any mantel parties?!

No?!

Bummer.....

Hahahaha! 

I just knew I have a winner here.

Check it out - 

How many of YOU have a fire going when you take your picture?

(we actually need it for heat right now) 

Yeah....thats what I thought!

No need to look at the ledgestone samples on the hearth 

Or the boxes of electrical material to the right

I am sure you cant see the copper piping thats on the floor 

(which is worth a small fortune right now - holy crap ! Didnt know copper was so expensive.....) 

Or the fact that there is a junk drawer that has formed on the mantel

(i think theres a broken clock, razor blades, screws to who knows what, lotsa drywall and concrete dust, 

oh and some Domino's Pizza coupons on there too) 

Like my pretty candle on the mantel?

It smells yummy.

I light it everytime I go over to the house.

The workers think Im nuts.

(well, I am - but it has nothing to do with candle lighting) 

The wreath was sad on the fireplace wall.

So I moved it.

 (and no, its not snowing in our house - altho it feels like it sometimes!)

 My husband thought this was a riot.

(further proof that I am insane) 

This is the future doorway to our garage.

The door is going to be moved and a new one installed.

And the wall will be closed up of course!!

Like the paint samples on the kitchen/ dining room wall?

( I honestly believe that picking paint colors is THE hardest job on the planet. EVER.)

Which one do you think I chose? 

:)
