Hello November

Handcrafting garland has been a favorite craft of mine this year.  I should probably be adding more to the mantles, like matching candles and special holiday nick-nacks, but for now, I like the simplicity of banners.  Plus, any time I avoid clutter, I consider it a win.

Curious about this garland?  It was inspired by the DIY project over at Happy Clippings!  Super easy and fun to work on while I watched TV.  I got a little carried away, but I refused to toss any of the leaves I made, so I packed them on the mantle. I added a few of the autumn-ish colored baby cards we received for the arrival of Louie and ta-da!  Our autumn mantle!
