Valentine's Day has always been a favorite holiday in our family since my mama's birthday is February 14th! Growing up, Valentine's Day was a big deal, and I think that's why I like it so much now.
Last week, I went on an all-out Valentine's crafting spree. Pinterest was inspiring me left and right with Valentine's crafts, and I couldn't choose, so I made them all. Brent was out of town three nights this week on interviews. Armed with a glue gun, a glass of wine, and a full DVR, I got to crafting.
Candle Holders: mason jars, doilies, felt, & yarn
{inspiration here}
Wreath: styrofoam ring, felt, pins, & ribbon
{inspiration & tutorial here}
Felt Flowers: styrofoam balls, felt, & pins
{i loved the wreath so much, i created these flower balls using the same technique}
Valentine Frame: old frame with glass taken out, scrapbook paper, & adhesive glitter letters
{inspiration here}
Heart Banner: scrapbook paper, glue, & ribbon

Lovebird Art: cheap frame, scrapbook paper, & glue

Argyle Hearts Wreath: styrofoam wreath, yarn, pins, & felt
{inspiration here}
Heart Tree: white vase, branches, & heart ornaments (from Michaels)
{i saw these ornaments and got the idea of a rustic Valentines tree centerpiece}
Just in case you need more inspiration to decorate for Valentines Day, here's a conversation that happened at our house last night:
B: Oh, by the way... I made reservations at ____ (fave restaurant) for Valentine's Day!
K: What? Seriously?! Like you already called and made a reservation?
B: Yep.
K: That was so incredibly sweet of you. Thank you! Wow. You are like the best husband ever.
B: I know.
K: Did the Valentine's decorations make you think of it?
B: Yeah, I guess they kinda did. I was like, "Oh, I guess she wants to celebrate Valentine's this year!"
:-) Love him.
Happy early birthday, Mom! I think of you when I look at all my new Valentine's decor!
