I'm running this post again, cause it was such a hit the first time in
October of 2010.
Loved this idea last year, and hoping I have
time to do it again this year in my fireplace.

October of 2010.
Loved this idea last year, and hoping I have
time to do it again this year in my fireplace.

Our mantel wall is slightly different
than this now.
You can see what the room looks like now - here.
But, I love the simplicity of last year's Fall mantel.
I still plan on using the bats in this year's mantel.
(it never grows old for my kids)







Looks great! I love the bat idea.
