Inspired by Pinterest - Valentines for Boys

Apparently, Valentine's Day is all about hearts, chocolate, rainbows, fluffy bunnies, butterflies, poems and flowers.  Unless you live at my house with 6 "non-girly types".  (Yes, even the cat and the dog are boys!)

So, when I found these Forceful Valentines Cards, I seriously wanted to hug this woman!!

Turns out, "this woman" is Holly at Stitch/Craft and she is awesome and made it SO easy for everyone to download these cute cards.

 I cut them out, (no laughing at my old-school cutter)

used a hole punch and had my kiddos sign them,

inserted the glow stick (8 for $1 at Dollar Tree) and taped it in place on the back.

I think they're so much cuter than most of the store-bought kids cards!

And who needs more candy, right?!?! Yay!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Simple Valentine's Day Decor

I'm keepin' it simple again this year when it comes to Valentine's decor. I made a simple pallet sign for the mantel. (see the tutorial for aging the wood here). I glued the boards together and then glued 3 paint stirrers on the back for support.  I'm quite the carpenter, right?  Then I Mod Podged the letters that I'd cut with my Cricut. Notice how dark the pallet wood is?  I did this with just my vinegar mixture! Simple and cute with lyrics from a song we love.

 

 I also made a paper-rose-heart-wreath.  I started by wrapping the wreath in red fabric and then glueing the roses on.  You can read my tutorial on making paper roses here. 

 

I also changed out the subway art in the bathroom, as I've done for the past few holidays (I joke that this gives the boys something to read while they go the bathroom, but I really hope that's not the case).
Powder room makeover reveal coming soon!!!

 

I found this printable at Every Creative Endeavor (I like that it's not just the usual red and pink).
Thanks Amanda!
