valentine’s day 2013: you color my world friend

February 6, 20181 Comment

I am happy to say that my kids agreed to give their friends something that is NOT candy this year!

We’ve decided on ideas for each of them, but have to wait until this weekend to put them together.

Until then, I thought I would revisit our no candy valentines from years past…this one is from 2013.

I found these adorable crayon packages at Target (in 2013, but haven’t seen them since)…you can currently find them here.

Tear pages out of the atlas (you can purchase an atlas here).

Cut out heart shapes…about 6″ large.

Glue a crayon pack onto one side of the heart.

Write “You color my world, friend!” on the other side.

Sign your name.

Share the love!

home is…homemade valentines.

{31 days} joy all year

These are back at Target…

This year there is also HOPE, LOVE, a heart and a star.

Last year I bought the JOY…

When I brought it home and opened it I was in love, but I knew it could be better.

So, I painted it.

Then I hung it on a piece of wood that had been outside since we moved into our house almost 6 years ago. It’s nice and weathered.

I thought I would like the “JOY” to be horizontal, but the letters were taller than the board.

So, I went vertical.

And, I love it!

It hangs next to our fireplace year round.

Last year I displayed it in our front entry as a Christmas vignette.

I also used it in our fall decor.

Today, I purchased LOVE and the star as they can also be kept out year round. I hope to paint them and hang them on some more salvaged secondhand wood!

My mother-in-law arrives tomorrow night, so I am hoping that I can get some fun posts up while she is in town, and I might have some extra time for projects like this one!

{FYI…last year a lot of the stores ran out of stock on this item. Best bet is to check online and see if you can do an in-store pick up…they will hold it for you for 2 days!}

Until then, here is a repost of what we did…

Thanks for your input on the rug…I promise to let you know which one I choose with a post here soon!

In the meantime I have been getting the house put back together…

Of course, it takes me longer than the “normal” person because I have to “restyle” everything as I put it away…in the kitchen.

Or, I decide to run to Target because our laundry room, which never had a rug, needs a cheery aqua rug!

Of course, trying to keep the kids entertained makes lots of new messes as we go along!

Ben needed a new rug by the back door so it wasn’t too slippery for his old legs (yeah, i need to clean the glass, too).

And, yeah, we needed a little back to school countdown decoration in the un-dining room.

So, you can see, it just takes me a bit longer to get things back to normal. We’re getting there…one mess at a time!

home is…always changing things up.
