Christmas Baby Sled and a Wreath

When getting the decorations down from the loft last month, I found our grandson's old sled. It's not like the old fashioned sleds you see, but I knew it would work. 

At the beginning of November when we first started receiving our shipments of greenery at work, I decorated one of the old sleds. It was so beautiful with the greens, bow and decor that the boss told me to price it very high 'cause she didn't really want to sell it! Sorry, I didn't think to take a picture of that one. But I knew I wanted one for my house!

Our grandson's old sled that I picked up at a garage sale for $5.00 over 5 years ago.

I wired together greenery in a swag form and placed it on the sled. I made a bow and added it, but realized I needed that ribbon for the main front door wreath. It had to match the greens arrangement I made for that door. I had purchased the ribbon from work last year and I was pretty sure we didn't have any left.

Love this bow, but needed it somewhere else.

So, I made another bow out of ribbon I got this year at work. I have a ribbon obsession. I have so many spools from the dollar store, Walmart and yards from work...I have no idea when I'll use them all! 

Don't know why it looks purple, it's actually burgundy.

And it is finished. It has been sitting at the side front door for a couple weeks. 

 The sled sitting beside the front door at the top of the driveway. 

I brought home a wreath that was going in the garbage at work because it had dried out. I spray painted it, added more greens to spruce it up, gold spray painted hydrangeas, some homemade decor, a cardinal (because I use them all the time!) and made another bow. This wreath is above the sled hanging on the outside of the screen door. 

To me cardinals spell Christmas. 

I love their bright red colouring, and always have black oil sunflower seeds in one feeder for them. 

I love my sled decoration!! And the best part, the greenery is just weaved into the slats so it will be easy to remove. I need to have the sled ready for our new grandson who arrives the end of January!! Well, ok, he can't use it this winter, but he'll sure enjoy it next year. :)

What do you put at your front door?
