A Little Sprinkling of Valentine's Cheer!

I don't normally do a lot of decorating for Valentine's Day, but this year I had fun putting together a little table scape in sweet pea's playroom.  The garland on the window is just a pack of flat heart cards that I found in the dollar spot at Target.  I hung them on a piece of string with tiny clothespins.




I took some inspiration from the ladies over at At the Picket Fence to make these adorable little envelope chair backs.  The only thing I had to purchase was the dish towels which came in a pack of 2 for $2.50 in the dollar spot at Target.  I have been eyeing the chair backs at Pottery Barn Kids for a couple of years now, but am glad I saved myself some money by making my own.


With the help of sweet pea I also put together this little runner for her table with some leftover drop cloth from a previous project.  I just cut it to my desired length and width then let her help me make hand print hearts. I also cut out some felt hearts and glued them on, then got out my trusty puffy paint wrote the word "LOVE" at both ends and traced around the hand prints to make them look more finished.  It's not perfect by any means but she and I both love it!






Here is what her envelope will look like all stuffed on Valentine's Day. She is gonna be so excited!


I picked these flowers up at the grocery store the other day to add a little Valentine color to the kitchen.  I just used some ribbon I picked up from the dollar spot and taped it around the mason jars.  I think they turned out pretty cute, and they make me smile every time I walk into the kitchen.


Does anyone else out there do much decorating for Valentine's Day?  I am looking forward to next week because sweet pea and I have some fun treats to make for her class and teachers that I hope to share with you.  Until then hope everyone has a blessed day, BYE!
