DIY Valentine Post-it Love Notes


To elicit a smile or two from your loved one on Valentine's day (or any day for that matter) try writing sweet little messages on post-its and leave them in unexpected locations for your partner to find. Places to hide them include- on your partner's pillow, on the bathroom mirror, on top of your partner's laptop or on the fridge door. Hopefully it will brighten up their day!


This is so easy and doesn't take to much time at all.

All you Need :
Pad of Post it Notes
Stamp Pads
Alphabet Stamps

Have Fun!!

This fun Idea found here.

Make a Valentine's Day canister

Here is another cute idea, Maybe just add a little something and leave it on your Table in the morning when your kids go for breakfast there is a special treat!!

1. Pick up small metal paint cans and plastic canisters of various sizes (available at craft and organization stores). Using two tablespoons, shape a few balls of store-bought or homemade chocolate chip cookie dough into different sizes (measure the opening of the containers to get a rough idea of what size cookie you'll need).

2. Bake according to recipe and let cool. Once cookies have cooled, try placing in canisters to find which size works best―you'll want them to fit snugly inside without being forced.

3. Once you've determined which size cookie fits, use it as a guide to measure out remaining dough. Bake cookies, and allow to cool completely before stacking.

4. To decorate tins, cut festive pink, red and white wrapping or craft paper onto heart shapes of various sizes and adhere to tins with glue or double-sided tape. Decorate tin tops with more heart-shaped paper or gift tags.

 I added my Favorite Quote on the front..

Family.. There is  no bond stronger than the one that exists in a family. It allows us to fail without fault, to learn without loss, to love without condition. It is how  we become who we are. :)

Valentine's Day Mail boxes!!




I was walking past the Dollar section at Target and found there Cute Mailboxes!!
Yep, I said $1.00!! Had to get them, had a lot of ideas to do with them but had decided they have to be for Valentines Day!

I used my Cricut and and my Computer to cut out their names to add the the boxes.  
I got some cute paper from Roberts and decorated them.


Starting February 1st - the 14th I will have these sitting out. I am encouraging everyone in the family to participate by writing something nice to someone (on the hearts below.), giving them a coupon  or a treat. :) and put them in the mail box.. (I loved how you can raise the flag when you put something in it.) I know my kids will be excited.. (and lets me honest me to!!)


                The ♥'s i cut out to write something nice on.
                                     

I will be randomly putting in treats like a favorite Candy bar, sucker, or Candy Hearts. I will always attach a note.

I think they turned out great and  I really hope this turns out as fun as i am imagining it in my head!!

Valentines Day Vase






YOU Can do it for under $20.00
I Made this really cute Valentines Day Vase and thought i would share it was really easy not time consuming at all!!
 Here are the things you will need to make it!! I Got everything at Hobby Lobby.. All of it for under $20.00 YEA!!
 I used Mod Podge on the balls, then i placed the glitter in these zip lock bags and made sure there was glitter on the ball. I tried using my hands with the glitter during Christmas with My Christmas trees but had finger prints. Placing the glitter in the zip lock bags made is so much easier and turned out great!!
 While they were Drying, i cleaned the Vase with window cleaner and cut a ribbon to go on the top. I then got my Cricket out and made some Hearts with Black Vinyl. If you need Vinyl I'm happy to cut it out for you!
I then Placed the balls inside the Vase!! I love how it turned out, so east and so cute, to decorate your home for the Holiday!!
