Random

I’m in the mood tonight to do a random post!

Thanks for all the comments and emails in regards to Kaylee’s room.  I’m finishing it up and will show you the final product soon.  :)

Some have asked where I am on Pinterest.  Here is a LINK to my page.  I would love to have you follow me.

My books came in!  I always get so excited, track, wait, and watch for them to get here.  LOVE how they turned out!  Each of the kids books are all of their pictures from 2012.  This year I put in some of their pictures off of their i pods and cell phones.

I give the kids their picture books on Valentine’s Day.  It has turned into a tradition.  Then the family blog book I leave out in the living room for all to reminisce.   I will share photos of the layouts in the books after the kids see them.  Here is a sneak peak of the covers and backs to their books.

 

I bought ten of these white felt hearts at Target in their after Christmas clearance.  I then found some more red felt hearts at JoAnn’s.  Jerrica helped me string them on a ribbon for a little banner on our mantel.  We need to get a longer ribbon and string more.

 

I also decorated our holiday shelf in the dining room for Valentine’s Day.  It is filled with pictures of Stephen and I.  I really didn’t think anything of it as I was decorating, but then we had the missionaries over for dinner.  As I sat there eating and heard them comment on the shelves, I looked up and beheld quite a shrine of Stephen and I.  I do love him though, and this IS the month of LOVE!

Another Target find were these dollar section clothes pins.  I thought they would be cute holding up a banner, but then when I got home I decided they would be cute as magnets to hold pictures and notes.  So once again, Jerrica helped me stick little magnets on the back of them.

We ALSO found at Target these fun heart marshmallows.  Once again Jerrica helped me with these.  We enjoyed a nice afternoon hot chocolate together!

Doors are heart attacked, (I even did Stephen’s door this year :) mailboxes are set out, chocolate is bought, Valentine pictures are hung and the holiday shelf is decked out.  We are READY for Valentine’s Day!
