Simple Thanksgiving Mantel

I got my Thanksgiving mantel all figured out with a whole week to spare before one of my favorite holidays!  Yay me!  I kept it simple this time, folks.  Real simple.  Like, you might think it took me about 10 minutes to get it all set, simple.  Well, you'd be wrong.  It took me about 12 minutes. :)


I started out by creating the "Thankful For You" printable and went from there. 

I gathered (and dusted) some of my glassware, and filled them with popcorn kernels and pinecones.


Then I added some brown grosgrain ribbon bows to some smallish pumpkins I had and I was done!


I think Thanksgiving lends itself to simplicity so I am happy with how it turned out.  And glad for the opportunity to show my family how thankful I am for them!  I might redo the color scheme a little and hang it in our upstairs hallway... why only express my gratitude at Thanksgiving, right?

Have a wonderful day!
