Joy on The Front Porch

Good morning!

First of all Thank you for all your sweet comments yesterday ! I really appreciate all of you!

So for today's post we are on the front porch .. Ronnie, one of our Jack Russell's is there to welcome you in!

 I found these black letters at Hobby Lobby ( they were each 7.99 but then 50% off ..so $7.99 for both).. So I bought the J and Y and a small grapevine wreath..I outlined the letters with a white chalkboard marker to make them strand out more..

 I trimmed the wreath with flocked picks from Michael's added a bow made from red and black gingham ribbons and a sparkly red ornament..

 I used black floral wire to hold the letters to the wreath ..I tried hot glue but that did not work well ..the wire worked fine..

 I used the same decomesh garland from last year ..It has white and red decomesh along with burlap all tied into a evergreen garland..there are white lights strung throughout..

 I added black check and red plaid bows all along the garland..
 The Christmas Countdown made on fence pickets with a chalkboard painted space to count down the days sits next to the vintage blow mold Santa..I just love the red plaid with the black gingham !

If you would like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

Thanks so much for all your visits and sweet comments !
