Valentine Around the House

I am really behind with this Valentine's Day holiday this year...well according to me. I usually have Valentine's Day up within the first few days of February because there are only 14 days of it. This year...I just barely got everything up this morning!...with only four days to spare. Phew!

Usually, I am so anxious and excited for each holiday but with how busy this year has been, I am actually looking forward to that lull between Valentines and Easter where all there is is St. Patrick's Day that we don't even decorate for around here.

Anyway...

We started a couple of days ago with heart attacking our wall/mirror.

Inspiration via Color me Katie. Hence why I just had to get a picture of Owen blowing the hearts across the wall.
It is so fun to have an older child who can and wants to help me with my little projects.

His hearts are my favorite ones. :)


Cheri from I am Momma Hear Me Roar did a tutorial about how to make a free printable in picnik. I thought the idea was brilliant! So I made one too. I used my photoshop elements and regular picasa instead because I am more familiar with those programs.
 Right click on the image below if you want it.

I then did some rolled rosettes for my frame much like my wreath.

I hope you are all having a LOVE-ly time getting ready for Valentine's Day!
