My Friends Secret Santa Blog Tour

By 7 Comments

Don’t you love playing Secret Santa with good friends?  I KNOW I do.  I am lucky enough to be a Secret Santa this year with My Friends Secret Santa Blog Tour.  Today 25 bloggers will be playing Secret Santa to each other. Our names were all randomly drawn to make a Christmas Gift/Decor for another blogger.  How fun, huh?

How has your week been going?  Mine?  Well, it could be a LITTLE better, but overall, I would say I am very blessed.  I am happy to be here with you today.  I KNOW you will love my idea to Use a Large Shelf or Mantel in Place of a Headboard.  It has been of the BEST projects I have done in a long time.  AND I am sharing it with YOU today.

I have been searching and searching for a “mantel” or large shelf for about 2 years.  I REALLY wanted to use it as a headboard.
