WAHW: Quick Valentine Decor
By the way, in the next couple of weeks, I plan on sharing some Valentine Gift Baskets that I’ve put together, so be sure to come back for that. I’m also planning to feature some Valentine craft ideas in a few weeks, so if anyone has a craft they’d like to have featured here, just send me your link in an email. Thanks!
Last year I helped my mom with the annual chocolate festival, and we had this cute heart garland that we didn’t use. So I weaved it over the tops of the cabinets. (There was such a void to fill after the Christmas garland and balls went down.)
Next I took some of the pink & purple Christmas balls and placed them inside of some glassware:
And can anyone think of any better (or simple) Valentine decor than a candy dish or jar? (Disclaimer: Candy tends to disappear after a few days…it may be necessary to buy extra “decor.”)
Hubby also bought this cute cupcake plate last year at Hobby Lobby. (Isn’t he the sweetest?)
And here’s my snowman of the month for February. I guess if I thought about it, I have all kinds of figurines like this in my cabinet that are Valentine or Heart themed items. Maybe you do too. (And if not, you can get all kinds of things similar to this at the dollar store.) I find that little things like this can add a lot.
Holly Bloggy Christmas Crafts
So one of my goals next year is to try some of these projects, or at least start small: try one or two and get really good at them. Then that should make it easier for me to learn more things in the future. Heidi from Blue Eyed Blessings hosted a fabulous craft party for us last week. Today I’m featuring just a few of the projects that were submitted to the event. I know you guys will love these! And after you check these out, be sure to go over to Heidi’s blog and check out all the other wonderful ideas! It may be too late to make some of these. Although if you’re needing a last minute gift, several of these are actually projects that you can do fairly quickly. And if all else fails, you’ll get some fabulous ideas to bookmark for next year.

Holly Bloggy Christmas Trees
Again today, it was very difficult just picking a few trees to feature! In fact, several of the ladies featured here today have more than one tree in their home, so in some cases it was even difficult picking just one tree from a single post! So be sure to visit these ladies and take a look at their beautiful work. (And go by the party too b/c everyone did a great job—it’s just impossible for me to feature everyone!)

Christmas Tour
As you look through the post you’ll notice there’s no tree…..I got so carried away with the pictures that I decided not to put any tree pictures here. But for the record, I do have a tree and will be featuring it in a separate post later on. By the way, if you’re one the ladies sharing your trees and decor, don’t forget to stop by A Baby Changes Everything on Tuesday and link up your Christmas Tree post for the Holly Bloggy Christmas Bash. (And link up at our other events too. Go here for more details.)
To begin our 2nd annual holiday tour, we have a very special treat! This is photo of our house decked out with real “Alabama Snow!” Isn’t it glorious?
For some reason, I find it nearly impossible to get a good pictures of Christmas lights, regardless of the outside lighting or camera settings, but I did my best!
We begin our tour in the living room where I have a couple of displays and items to share, starting with our 3 snowmen here. When you go through this entire post, you’ll probably think that I’m obsessed with snowmen….but actually most of them were gifts. Over the years I seem to have acquired quite a collection! (And I must admit, they are quite cute!)
Last year I decorated the entertainment center in blue and silver, but this year I went with red and gold. I just love these cone shaped trees! I wish I had a whole forest of them!
This village is an easy one piece set up. I have an entire box of villages out in our storage building…but it takes so much time to set up. Maybe one day I’ll put them out, but for now I’m loving this one…
The stockings were hung on the China cabinet with care…..
Last year’s dining room centerpiece is now at the top of the China Cabinet.
A couple of Hallmark special animals…..
And some Hallmark Sock Monkeys…..
Moving On To The Kitchen……..
After Christmas last year I bought some new garland and balls to put over the cabinets. It really adds a lot of color….and fun to the room. (Note all the snowmen items hanging from the drawers above and the snow men towels hanging on the stove below…not to mention a couple of snowmen on the counter.)
The “Kitchen Tree”
….And the following two pieces actually don’t go together. One is a card hold and the other is just an ornament. I couldn’t find a good place to put the ornaments, so I hung them here….so that’s the story behind that. (But at least they both feature snowmen, and they’re both from Hallmark…okay, maybe this looks a little weird…)
And the kitchen table decked out in what else….snow men!
This Christmas Tree plate is one of my favorite pieces. My husband bought it for me 2 years ago.
Thanks for stopping by for my Home Tour. Don’t forget to come by next week for the Holly Bloggy Christmas Bash! We’ll have some great events and great prizes to give away!
Have a Merry Christmas!
Falling into Fall Decor
Welcome Sign from BHG. Here’s a great project that adds a simple charm to your decor.
Pumpkin Vase from Martha Stewart. A centerpiece really brightens up your table, and this pumpkin vase with wild flowers is just perfect!
Naturally Beautiful Wreath from Southern Living. If you’re looking for something a little different from the orange and yellow harvest wreaths, here’s something for you in green.

Modern Fall Cornucopia from BHG. I love this idea! The greens and purples are just lovely for fall or any time of year! And you can always use other colors of your choice for you own custom look.
Mantle Decor at About.com. And a little color and fall cheer to your mantle with a few pumpkings and some leaf garland.
Harvest Centerpiece from From You Flowers. There are so many different centerpieces out there for the fall. And the colors in the piece add so much warmth to your table or buffet.
