The Stockings Were Hung

I went a little unconventional this year when hanging our stockings. We have a fireplace but I didn't want to add any more clutter to it. We also have a small blank wall that needed some love. I stewed and stewed, until...

I had an idea! I called a friend and asked for a branch from her tree. We have exactly one tree on our property, and since our house is only a few years old, the tree is a wee little one. My friend thankfully obliged and brought over a HUGE branch. Like half a tree! So I hacked it into more manageable pieces and found one I liked.

I hammered in some nails and was about to call it good. Enter my genius of a mother. She suggested that I add a little more character with some fake snow.

Off to Hobby Lobby I went and a $1.25 later I had some "snow". I slapped it on with a plastic spoon and let it dry for a few hours.

I truly love it! LOVE it!

Now to add vinyl over the top?
