On this Valentine's Day Eve...

Hiya lovely reader! First off I hope you had a good Friday the 13th! So tomorrow is Valentine's Day and whether you're single or all loved up, have a lovely day. I will be spending the day with friends and then getting "dolled up" and going to dinner with some close girlfriends. I've always loved Valentine's Day and all the decor that comes with it (typical...maybe). Anyway, no matter who your spending the day with or how you're spending it I hope it's lovely. I saw this post and thought these cards were so perfect and reminded me of me and my friends so hopefully it does the same for you. You can by these cards and many others here. and are made by a fantastic lady named Emily McDowell. 

What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Xx

DIY Photo Booth Valentines

Hi lovely reader! I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend. Hopefully you are aware that next Friday is Valentine's Day! I always like to try and do something creative as far as valentines are concerned and this year is no exception. These valentines are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional!  

You will need:

-colored card stock (red, black, white)

-a hot glue gun

-red and black sharpies

-wooden skewers

-scissors

I'm going to show you how to make the pennant one, but you can use these same steps to make any of the others as well. 

First fold the paper in half and draw a triangle so that the crease is on the left. 

Next cut the triangle out so that you have a triangle shaped card. 

Then write whatever you want on the front. I chose "Mon Petit" which means "My Little" because it is a nickname I have for one of my friends and it looks cute:)

Now take one of the skewers and place it in the card, make creases around where you want the skewer to be. 

Finally take the hot glue gun and make a line of glue in the crease, place the skewer in the glue and hold it for about a minute, allowing the glue to set. 

Now you can write a nice message inside and your valentine will be complete! 

I also made some other ones, using the same steps. I found the shapes from templates online, except for the last one which I created myself. 

Nice cheeky lip bite for a cheeky friend!

Valentine's Day DIY Decor

Hi there lovely reader! With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I would share some decor ideas as well as some DIYs that will allow you to be as festive for Heart Day as possible.

 I personally like Valentine's Day because of all the decorations, hearts, roses, different shades of pink, it all makes me quite excited. So first are the little things I have that add a touch of heartiness (see what I did there) to the atmosphere. Xx

I got this earring tree from ASOS last year and it has worked out great. It has cute little frill like details around the edge of the heart and the base also has little hearts around it. 

Just simple metal heart. I bought this at a home store last summer. I'm not sure what exaclty it's meant to be used for but I just hang it on the door knob for a little pizzazz.

I have a couple of these. They are little candle holders, actually from the wedding section of a craft store. They also have little heart details.

Now for some DIYs I have found. All the pictures are from the original posts and go with the included link. 

Tin Can Valentine's Votive

I think these would look really nice on a desk or even in a bathroom with some other smaller candles. 

Wooden Polaroid Gift Set

These are absolutely adorable and would be a perfect little gift for someone who loves a good Instagram. 

Paper Heart Chain

Simple, Classic, Easy

Geometric Hearts

Modern day hearts, perfect for any bare wall. I think they would look nice around pictures also.
