Hearts About the House


There's nothing very amazing about these pictures I'm sharing today...it's all just book pages, glitter and hearts.  I had so much fun with decorating for Valentine's day in simple little ways this year.


{these chocolates are already - ahem - long gone :}





Made these cardboard glitter hearts last year.  You can see they're a little worse for wear, but still happy.


A favorite hymn.

 

Favorite people.




I adore these little mailboxes from Target's dollar section, but even more I love how my sister is using them "mail" little love notes to her kiddos everyday this month.  You can read about her wonderful lovely idea {HERE}.   I'm looking forward to writing my kiddos notes for the next week.



It's such a sweet holiday!  I love having all the hearts about our home.  They really are lovely, little reminders to just love one another.  
 

Definitely contemplating keeping them up year round...at least a couple hearts. :)

    Your house looks lovely and those chocolates would not have lasted a day in my house either! You have inspired me to decorate a little more. I have been crafting and baking, but have little up for decoration yet! Gosh, if I make it to Target I will look for the little mailboxes...how sweet!
    I am also putting that verse on my chalboard. Love it:)!

    You take the most beautiful photos--makes every post look so special. I also love the words to that hymn. As soon as I read them I realized that I sang those words with my college choir--they were set to classical music, and now I'm humming it to myself. Great memory--thanks!
