New Year's Mantel & CSN Giveaway!!

I did it! The tree is down and all of that Christmas stuff is packed up. My house is starting to get a little more back to normal! I did decorate just a little on my mantel for New Year's. I never have but I feel like it's a holiday that often gets left out when it comes to decorations.



I simply put my icy wreath in front of my Goodwill silver tray and added a Happy New Year printout I made on the computer.


If you would like to download the printable, you can find it here
Would look great in a frame!


By that is a whimsical picture from the Graphics Fairy of a girl dancing on a bottle of champagne and says Happy New Year.


I put some frosty white ornaments in my dollar store hurricanes along with some silver disco ball looking ornaments.



I added a couple of glasses with gold disco ball ornaments and wrapped it all up with white tulle and holographic curling ribbon.







Not too bad using just what I had laying around. I thought about making a really cool banner but it will only be up for a few days ( and I'm lazy) so I'm not going through all of the trouble. Wish I had a little silver and gold tinsel...sigh...So, are you planning a big New Year's party? If you use the printable, I would love to see it!

Now, in case you didn't get exactly what you wanted for Christmas, here's your chance to shop for yourself. I was so excited when CSN stores contacted me about hosting a fabulous giveaway for my US and Canadian followers! They have an entire network of sites full of fashion and home accessories! You could literally shop for days (200+ stores)! Here are a few of the things I have been looking at:

These adjustable bar stools would be perfect for a New Year's Eve party!

ItalModern Alex Adjustable Barstool - 0435X

I need some new black boots and I am drooling over these Carlos (by Carlos Santana) Clifton boots
Carlos by Carlos Santana Women's Clifton Flat Boots in Black

My boys would love these metal bunkbeds:

Elite Products Metal Bunk Bed Twin Over Twin

I need to get organized (that's one of my resolutions) and these jute boxes would be perfect:

OIA Jute Rectangular Basket (Set of Two) in Dark Brown and Linen


They really have just about everything! They will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner! All you have to do to enter is: be a Krafty Kat follower and leave a comment on this post. That's it. Super simple! The winner will be announced at next week's Gettin' Krafty With It link party on Tuesday.

This giveaway is now closed.
