I’m in the Mood for L.O.V.E.!

Oh my friends, let me tell you; I’ve been chomping at the bits to start decorating for Valentines.

I want to hold off for another week so I decided to create. Before Christmas I purchased a kit for a valentine garland for half price at Pebbles.

It was easy as 1. 2. 3.

1. Crinkle the dictionary print flowers.

2. Adhere one to each heart and add a button.

3. Outline each flower with silver stickles.

After that just hang them from bakers twine with mini clothespins. Voila!

Notice my cute box? I had to run errands today after quilt guild. I think I was giving off some kind of vibe because every where I went I found red. The color of LOVE.

I found the box at Hobby Lobby. It was not in their Valentines décor, but how perfect are these trumpeting cherubs?

Then I had to drop off some donations at the D.I., a thrift store. Why not go inside after? I found two more red cuties. A red glass plate for $1, and a sweet sugar bowl for 50 cents.

After I made the garland I decided that I would do something with this little chalkboard heart photo album I bought years ago. I covered the front with paper and added a few embellishments.

I’ve only done a few pages inside so far. A layout of our new little grandson born in July.

Some of the pages I will leave the chalkboard and write on them with colored pencil. It’s small, but will be fun to sit out for Valentines with pics of my grandies.
