Before Ashely even went house shopping, she had this plan to have a mantle in her home.
So of course she asked me to make one…and of course I said "Yes, we can do that", lol.
She had seen the plans (I will share them when I get the link from her) and we went to work.
It was a long process because I could only work on it at when I was at her place.
This isn't where it is going to stay though, I just wanted to get a quick photo of it for you all to see :)
Ashley was planning on having shelves inside the opening for her video games systems and dvd players. But I think she has changed her mind about that.
She is planing on mounting her big screen above the mantle once it is on the correct wall.
I love how it turned out!!!!
I want to make me one now…but have no idea where I would put it, lol.
I always put my tree up on December 12th.
So today was the day.
Kristy did most of the work, except for the beads. Those suckers were being difficult this year.
I need to put on Christmas music on when we decorate….do you?
Day 12 of Heidi Swapp's photo challenge.
"Naughty/Nice"
This one was a bit of a challenge for me. I had a couple of options playing in my mind.
I didn't have any coal for the naughty stocking so I grabbed some black paint and painted some spoon sized shredded wheat to make them look like coal :)
For Canadian Scrapbooker's challenge the prompt was
"Frosty"
It wasn't until later that I could have taken a photo of a snowman…Frosty the Snowman.
It was a cold one today, so a photo of our frosty truck windows seemed to fit the bill for this challenge.
Onto My Day:
Wayne took the day off of work today as we had a meeting.
After the meeting we went shopping. I know its about time right, lol.
We are almost done!!
We went to visit Ashley at her house during her lunch break. She needed an extension cord for her jeep as it was so cold this morning her jeep almost didn't start.
She is feeling under the weather, so I bought her a plug for her tub so she can take a nice long hot tub after work tonight.
Well I am off to drive Kristy's friend home, warming up the jeep, as it is freezing out there.
Hope you all had a creative Thursday :)
Tracy :)
