If you're like me you enjoy giving
a little Valentine gift to friends and family.
I wanted to share some Valentine images,
in hopes of generating some creative ideas.
these cute little pillows and totes
all dressed in hearts
are found at Ballard Designs.
It's been warmer here these last few days and
I've been decorating for Valentine's Day this week.
It helps brighten the dreary days of January,
and move me toward the colors of Spring.

I've been playing with a few bits of paper and vintage ephemera,
but I've had a little "itch" to get out my sewing machine
Hmmm...?
felt hearts?
Country Home
collaged bottles with posey?
Country Home
decopauged hearts?
Country Home
or how about these?
yummy!
No sewing machine required.
What are you doing for Valentines gifts?
Have a sweet weekend,
Debra
I Debra! I love seeing all the sweet little Valentine things! I can't believe it's coming so soon! I'm just getting my Christmas things put away!

This is going to break your heart... but I can not stand Valentine's Day!!! I know, right?!?! You can kick me later... xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHowever, I would have to change my mind for a cupcake. LOLOLOL I REALLY can't wait to see what you come up with though!!! How about some red purses? Maybe..... red plaid hearts? OR!!! Red plaid pillows? You could do felt lambs with a red heart hanging around it's neck... I would have to change my mind about Valentine's for that too.

Much Love!

All such sweet ideas! If I had to choose just one, I don't know what it would be!
ReplyDeleteAll these photos are inspiring me to get going with Valentines projects and trying my hand at something new. Those cupcakes and cookies look great too. Maybe I'll bake something up first. Hope you are having a great day. Blessings, Tammy

valentines is the day after rods birthday - the coolest thing i ever did for both days was a huge mobile of glittered and wallpapered and pleated tissue hearts - playing off the theme of the old candy hearts - and hung it in the bedroom ..we still have it ..

I'm giving hubby wall graffiti of our initials in a heart. DS + KS = Love. It's very sweet... Love it! It's cheap, a sweet decoration for our bathroom, and something I can enjoy just as much as he can!

My favorite is the collaged bottle with the queen of hearts on it! I'd love to try it, but I don't think I have a deck of cards here.

ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteI love the felt and the decoupaged hearts! I have been working on a valentine project this week and am hoping to post it tomorrow. I do not have valentine decor and have not thought much about it until seeing all of it on everyone's blogs. Thanks for stopping in to check up on me. I'm doing good just has been a busy week. Have visited you at a day in the life daily but just have not had enough study time to feel able to comment. But I have been there! Love ya! Have a great weekend!
Sweet ideas - glad you posted them. It helps a mind start inventing again!
ReplyDeleteVery very cute! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThese cute things fill my heart with happiness! :D pun intended! And I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet...most likely wait till the very last minute and then throw something together in a panic! :D
