Christmas Mantle

This year I decided to go with simple greenery and touches of white and silver.  I didnt buy anything new for the mantle, I just used items I had collected over the years.  Many of them from after Christmas sales.




The potted amaryllis were purchased 4 years ago at the Target after Christmas sale- I love how real they look.
















A little hidden picture fun for you: Can you find the package of toilet paper I had just brought in from the store? (hint: its a reflection of it).  I need to work on my photo editing skills! *sigh*
