Our House of Hearts



February is the month of love, with a holiday falling right in the middle that celebrates all things love related, from roses, to chocolate, to candle lit dinners and romantic date ideas.  To inspire you to get into the spirit of Valentines day I will be sharing some of the ways we have been showing our love around the house from decorating and creating, to special date night ideas, yummy romantic food and sharing the love with those around us.


Here we created a few heart banners to string up around the house,  we started by going through my stash of scrap booking paper as well as some lace and ribbon, so it cost us nothing to make this project, otherwise you will need to find some paper that you like and ribbon, I then traced out the heart pattern onto the back of the paper so that you do not see your marks on the paper.  



Cut out your hearts and then you will need to punch a hole into the top two corners of your hearts in order to string your ribbon through,  I choose a pretty gray lace that I liked and that went well with the colours of paper my daughter had chosen, after twining the lace through the hearts you are left with a garland of hearts that are ready to be hung up any where you choose.



We decided we liked this one so much that we also made one more to hang in our dining room window, with this second one we decided to just do the four hearts and on each heart we spelled out the word love.  
These are the perfect addition to our Valentines chalk board that we created a few weeks ago.

  That’s me for today crafting and living life one puzzle piece at a time. J.
