Feelin' the Love

I've been trying to bring a little Valentine spirit into our home in the past few days ... made a couple treats and some cheap decorations and suddenly it feels like love is in the air! The treats above are yummy, low fat, and easy to make - recipe to follow ...

I took this old wood frame and turned it into ....

THIS! I love the way it turned out!

I recently found one of those cute round tables {with the glass top} at the Goodwill store. It was super cheap and I just knew I would love using it in my home. I stuck it in this bare corner of my living room and draped it with some Valentine fabric. Yeah, there are plenty of imperfections in the way the fabric drapes - but it's ALL good.

Add a small grouping of some apothecary jars filled with red stuff, a heart-topped candle holder, our wedding photo and a block of wood I painted, stamped on and added ribbons to ... and this tablescape looks so cute!

Did I say this was a block of wood? Yep, straight outta my garage! I just painted it red with paint I already had, used my stamps to stamp the hearts and words on it and tied on some ribbons I already had. Total cost=FREE!

I also tried to change things up on my mantle ... red and white candles, another apothecary jar, a heart shaped framed photo of my parents {taken just a few months before my Dad got sick with leukemia}, and an old photo of my girls taken for Valentines a few years back.

We also made some sugar cookies today and since I totally spaced and had no powdered sugar on hand - I did the next best thing and covered them in melted chocolate!

This week I'll be working a lot at the Flower shop - this is a BIG week for us there! Then, on Sunday my family and I are planning a fun and fabulous fancy dinner right here at home. We're going to decorate, dress up and dine like kings and queens! I can't wait!

Do you do anything special for Valentines day? Do you decorate your home? This is the first year I've really done anything like this but I kinda like it!
