I decorated the mantle for hubbs birthday that is this Friday, I took my stash of birthday plates, one big and two small ,  ( TJ MAX, ) and made some frames that came from there too $2.00, add some teal color to them, and printed some birthday subway art and a birthday boy graphic , ( free) add some dollar store ballon holders  and some beads to my jars along with some curling ribbon. Also added some tulle in light and dark teal, some polka dot bows. I know, I know, it's a litlle fru fru for him but oh well it's cute and he laughed , so it's good. That's my mantle all done up for a birthday! Next I took a party hat that was 2.00 and added some swirls ( my scrapbook stash) and some gems , and put it on top of a flower holder from years ago , on top of the cake plate , along with some tulle and curling ribbon. Added another plate and ice cream bowl to the mix and beads to my small jars, for my bar decor. The table I put the cake that's really a cookie jar ( Cute huh?) on a white polka dot cake plate , and white plates and more birthday plates and tulle around the napkins, added glasses and now we have a special tablescape for his birthday.....perfect for celebrating!!!! Enjoy!!!
