Easy Valentine's Banner

How is it Valentine's Day already?  It seems like I was getting ready for Christmas just yesterday.  Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays, mostly because pink and red is one of my favorite color combos, so I can't pass up the chance to decorate at least a little!

Since I'm short on time, this quick and easy banner was just the thing to mix with my pre-assembled tassel garland and dot garland I already have.

I already had some plain white doilies and also red and pink heart doilies in my craft pile, as well as this pretty blush pink with gold dot ribbon.  I simply stacked the doilies and glued them to the ribbon.

Then I printed the letters (in Rosewood font) and used some metallic gold paint in the white spaces to make for a little extra shimmer.  

Hope you have some fabulous plans for Valentine's Day! 

Whimsical Wonderland

Having a baby at home during the holidays has given me so much joy.  Even though she is only a baby this year, as she grows up Christmas will become more and more magical for her.  I want to make sure that the holidays strengthen her faith and hope, bring her peace and joy, and spark her imagination. 

You can probably imagine that I love decorating for Christmas.  I love pulling out each and every homemade ornament and remembering the story of how it came to be, or pulling out a perfect, glittery glass ornament and marveling at it's beauty.  The baby watched me decorate the tree this year, and she was enamored with every single ornament that was hung.  I have a feeling this little girl is going to love sparkles, wonder, and whimsy, just like her mother.

Below are my pics to add some whimsy to your little one's winter wonderland!
