love is in the air! and on the mantle and the entry way table and all over the house. :)
when i set out looking for valentines decorations, i fully intended on just picking up some paper and cutting out hearts on my own. and then i got to the store, and went a little crazy.
first, i stumbled upon these fun corrugated hearts from hobby lobby! instead of cutting out all the hearts on my own, i just taped the die cut hearts onto some twine, pinned it to the mantle, and voila! a $5 valentines mantle in ten minutes! :)
i've had my eye on the teeny tiny mail boxes in the target dollar spot for a while, and i finally took the plunge! initially, i was excited to use them as "love bug special delivery" boxes, but after getting them home, i realized they are too tiny for any of the cards or gifts i (i mean the love bug...) wanted to share, but they are the perfect size for my mantle, so i consider it $3 well spent. :)
i had decided to try something different for the entry way, and then i found these larger paper mache mailboxes. can you say "meant to be"?! they are the perfect size for cards and little bags of candy....which i may or may not have already sampled. #sorryimnotsorry i even grabbed a few extras to stash in the closet for any future littles! :)
i can't wait for EG to be big enough to be excited about these silly little things. for now, i'm just going to pretend that's she's into it. :)
