You know how they say everything is bigger in Texas? Well, this isn’t Texas but my door decor sure is BIG! I have always dreamed of big red and lime green, over the top, front door decor. And look – now I have it! I bought the ornaments and ribbon last year on clearance with my Christmas money. I will be adding to that stash this year. Silks-a-Bloom – here I come (after Christmas, of course)!
Quick question: Do you think I need to paint the topiary boxes red or another color next year? I originally painted them to match the trim on my home. I appreciate your feedback!
Please, come a little closer and take a peek.
Like my wreath? I really needed to buy a new wreath this year but didn’t need to spend the money. So I took a grapevine wreath that I had on hand and wired leftover greenery garland to it. Then I added the mesh, ornament and ribbon. Simple! I think I like it better than if I had bought a new one because it has more depth to it.
A closer look at the garland. I’m going to do a quick tutorial on how I craft my garland in one of the next posts.

Absolutely fabulous, especially for someone whose been so under the weather. You’re my hero girl. Don’t drive by my house, nothing up and it looks depressing!!! Oh, well didn’t you say life happens?

I love it! Rather than painting your topiary boxes, why don’t you just wrap them in some of that cellophane-ish wrapping paper?
