My 2012 Christmas Shelves

Yay!!  It is Wednesday and time to share My 2012 Christmas Shelves!!  If you are following me, you know that I posted my shelves from last year a few days ago.   Okay, before I show you the shelves, I need to tell you:  These shelves haunted me!!  I had all of my decorations laid out ready to go, and I had no vision, no creativity whatsoever!!  The shelves were empty for 4 days.  They would just stare at me, saying,”Well, what are you going to do with me?”  Ugh!  Finally after trial and error, I finally was pleased with them-I hope you are, too!

 

First off, I knew I wanted a Nativity to be displayed.   The Nativity was Hubby’s mom’s.  I feel honored to own it.

 I like the look of the burlap for some added texture.  I am liking the rustic feel of both shelves.  That is why I chose these particular icicles.  Icicles are something I have a weakness for.  I can not resist a good icicle!!

The top shelf had me puzzled.  It started out with a crystilized wreath.  Sort of like this branch.  I received the “Tis The Season” from our oldest daughter one year.  The thought goes so well with the Nativity.  I borrowed the frame and the moss wreath from our TV Room.  AND, don’t you just love the twig ball??  This was a gift from my mom’s husband.  He saw it and said, “Meegan needs this!”  He was right!!

This is a view from our living room.  The shelves look great along with the snow globes, don’t you think??   I mentioned before that Hubby loves snow globes.  Well, here they are!!  I will show you more and up close in another post in December.

Thanks for letting me share my 2012 Christmas Shelves with you today!!  I hope they inspire you with your Holiday decorating!!

I love having you visit my blog and on  Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk, Google +, Stumble Upon, Bloglovin’, and LinkedIn!!

I hope you are enjoying this time of year.  I hope you see the good in your life.  Make it a wonderful Wednesday!!
