Christmas Mantel Decorating Ideas – Link Party

Dec 4, 2012 By Layla

It’s Christmas mantel/ledge/shelf link party time! I blogged about our woodsy/water-y/wintery mantel yesterday…

…and we can’t wait to see and share what you’ve had fun creating this year, too! Here’s how it works:

To link up your blog post (or the web address where you’re Christmas mantel/ledge/shelf photos are saved), just scroll down this page until you see the little blue “Add Your Link“ button near the end of this post. Click that, and follow the instructions on the page you’re redirected to. The instructions involve uploading a thumbnail image and creating a title for the image you’re using. You may want to title it with the name of your blog, or with the title of your Christmas mantel post- it’s totally up to you.

Note: Make sure to link to your Christmas mantel post (not to the main page of your blog) so folks who stumble onto this post later on down the line can still click through and see your Christmas-themed inspiration!

Last but not least, we created a cute little badge to help promote the party, and we’d love it if you’d copy and paste the code in the box below at the bottom of the blog post you’re linking up hear today…

We sure do appreciate you e-partyin’ with us, and we hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas this year!

    Your woodsy mantel is gorgeous, Layla. I am working on one of those this morning. Didn’t finish in time for the party, but I finished two others a week or so ago and added them.

    Fun party!

    Woodsy, watery, wintery–all good ways to describe your mantel. How perfect it is for your new place! And how lovely yet simple. Thank you for inspiring us all. And thanks so much for hosting this link party–it’s great to have all this inspiration gathered in one place!

    I was lucky # 9 this morning! Just wanted to come back and say thanks for the party! Your mantel is cheerful but magazine worthy all at the same time. You did such a great job at the bottom and around the mantel – I am still working on that…So excited for you with the new house- this will be an extra special Christmas.

    Holiday Blessings to you & yours!!
