Valentine Mini Mantel

 I debated about spending time on making a Valentine mantel because I'm busy getting things ready for my daughters 13th birthday next weekend.  Once I saw all the really adorable decorations all over blog land I just couldn't resist!

I found some heart and circle shaped doilies that I had packed away with all of my scrapbooking supplies.  I sewed them together in no time and they are so adorable on the mantel for Valentines.  Super easy and super cheap!

I was searching for a free printable all over but nothing spoke to me.  I decided it's high time I start making my own printables so I can share them with Happy House of 5's followers!

I love decorating our house with God's word and how perfect on Valentines to display one of God's biggest commands, to love one another!  He shows us such perfect love and in return we are to give love to others.  

I'll be back soon to show you how I made this printable for FREE!

 While getting a couple of groceries today at Publix

I found some cute masks and party blowers for New Years. 

This star was on clearance at Target yesterday! 

I also bought some new Christmas table cloths, a table runner and some other table decor for next Christmas at clearance prices....I LOVE a great deal :)

 

We will be ringing in the New Year with our awesome neighbors, thanking God for all the amazing blessings he has given our Happy House of 5 in 2012.  I'm sure he has big plans for our 2013. 

Happy New Year to you and yours....God Bless!

Christmas Mini Mantel

 I finally finished our mini mantel by the front door today.  I know, I know a little late but that's ok with me.  I found the Christmas Subway Art printable on How to nest for less. 

I LOVE the Santa kneeling down to Baby Jesus, found

 this for just a couple of dollars at Walgreens!

 I bought a plastic doll cone from Joann's, it was cheaper than the Styrofoam ones, and wrapped it with white duct cloth that I already had. 

Then I added this garland that I found at Walmart.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the Happy House of 5, now if only we have a big cold front blow through like they are predicting :)
