This is just a small Deck the Halls post. I wanted to join Susan’s party, and I am not quite finished decking my halls.
I am sure many of you receive the Ballard design catalog.  I recently was paging through always for inspiration, and came across this fresh cedar alphabet letter.  At 35.00, that is a NO WAY for me.  I had this wire initial for a long time. Of course with having fresh greens in the back yard…..this was an easy knock off job.  I first layered the initial with some faux cypress, then I layered the top with the fresh.  Pretty cute HUH?!!~ Now get out there and make one for  yourself .

 NOW onto the Ballard inspired project. Here is the Ballard version:

Now here is the boys Winter Christmas shelf.

Added this cute little gift tag to my letter  
These cute little guys are from the dollar tree, along with the poinsetta’s!

    So great, as you might have read from my recent posts. Ballard has been a huge inspiration in my holiday decorating. I wanted one of these too. I havent attempted it yet, just a wreath but I love how yours came out.

    Ok because you are so adorable, you can have two pennies, instead of one:)
    I love this project with the letter "M" and in fact I actually think it looks better that the one from Ballard and I bet it smells better too…or is it two:)
    Hugs girl!
