I'm also joining Susan (@Thoughts from over the Rainbow) and her party to Deck the Halls.(Is it okay that my halls are outside this time?) This event will take place on Tuesdays between Dec. 1 and Jan. 5. Be sure to stop by her site.
First project - thanks to Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict, I have bigger blog pics - woohoo!
Second project - while thrifting with Debbie, I found a pair of topiaries that needed some love (or did she find them and reject them first??). Anyway, they had good "bones".
I sprayed them with silk plant cleaner and they looked much fresher. Then I put them in white planters that I already had, added lights, and a red bow.
Here is the fall porch with leftover ferns from the summer. Before....
After.......
By the time I finished, the sun had gone down, so I had to use the flash (that's a no-no, isn't it?
Happy Monday, and be sure to check out Susan's Met Monday post. Linda

Linda-Flash or not your picture and topiaries turned out great! White lights can hide lots of little imperfections on good bones (maybe I should wear them :) Thanks for linking to Deck the Halls. I think Mr. Linky and I have kissed and made up :) Hope you will "play" next Tuesday!
