How do I get My Documents folder back on desktop?

When I got the new MBP My Documents folder was at the bottom with rest of programs. Not sure what I did but somehow sent it away. How can I get it back on my desktop instead of having to go into HD every time I want to pull a file? Thanks.

MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Control click the documents folder in finder and select 'Create Alias'. Drag this new file to your desktop and et voila, you now have a short cut on your desktop

another method to have convenient access to the Documents folder is to drag the folder into the Dock. this will create a shortcut, and all you have to do is click the dock shortcut, and it'll bring you to Documents
