Happy Valentine's Day

I had a lot of fun putting together my Valentine tinsel tree!

 I love holiday decorating!

It is hard to get good shots of a tree, and unfortunately our week of overcast weather

didn't help. But, it was really fun to try.

Ella loves to sit and look at the lights while I feed her. How fun it must be for

 a baby to sit and look at lights and the pretty colors of a tree! 

Some of the ornaments are handmade, and some are store bought. I made these Xs

and Os using the tutorial found here. Then I painted a layer of black and a layer of

creamy white and distressed them with steel wool so the black would show through.

I got these vintage postcard images off of the graphics fairy blog {I LOVE her blog}.

 I just printed them off at Office Depot and glued them to paper-covered

cardboard rectangles. Then I embellished them with red glitter, pipe cleaners

and bookpage pinwheels.

In the background, you can see my chalkboard.  I am a little obsessed with

 "coloring" on my chalkboard! It is so fun to change it up.

Above is the close-up shot of the chalkboard that I posted yesterday.

I hope you have a Valentine's Day filled with love!

To all my family and friends,

I {LOVE} you dearly!

I thought I would link up to THIS fun party...
