The beginning of the mantle decor....

Well, that didn't last long. :)

Yesterday, I fell and sprained my ankle, and believe me, after a completely restless sleep and messing up the splint trying to get my jeans over it, my ankle is swollen big time. But I just can't sit and do nothing, even though I am supposed to be off of my feet.

Compromise! I hobble to get the laundry and throw it in, then hobble back to the couch to prop my foot up and fold. And as I fold, I stare at my mantle. It's blank. So sad.

So I am rummaging through the house to find a few things to start decorating until I can get out and about to buy some fall decor.


I think I am going to go with black and orange, and a little bit of white...here is what I came up with for today.

I just took a handful of my clear marbles, spray painted them, and glued them to the candles I had in the hallway. FREE! And cute. The beginnings of a Halloween/Fall mantle...yay!!!

Now, I have to go prop my throbbing foot up!! OUCH :(
