I took a few pictures of my Valentine tree today. There are a lot of people who probably think I am a little nuts for decorating my tinsel tree for Valentine's Day, but I sure love when my little Ella says "ooooooooooo!" when she looks at it.
It has been a horribly overcast day, so please forgive the darkness of these pictures. I will try to take some more pictures next week.
I made these vintage picture ornaments last year when I first put up my Vday tree, with images from The Graphics Fairy. I just covered some cardboard with kraft paper and then glued the images to the front. I outlined them in glitter... but I will probably remake them next year. I think I want them on wood with German glass glitter instead. I also added mini book page pinwheels {tutorial here}
I also made the Xs and Os last year out of cereal boxes! {Read more here}. I got the big hearts last year at Walmart and the cream ornaments this year from the 75% off Christmas clearance. The pink glittered ornaments were also from Christmas clearance, but they were more of a coppery color. I glittered them in this vintage-y pink.
I am not a pink person, so I mostly played up the reds and creams.
On another note, I am so, so, so excited that I hit 500 followers!
To celebrate {and thank you!}, I will be posting another great ~GIVEAWAY~ tomorrow afternoon!
Hope to see you tomorrow : )

Adorable. I see why little Ella says, "oooooo".
My mom loves keeping up her seasonal tree (it's up year round and she decorates it for EVERYTHING). I love your tree! So fun! Love Valentine's day...maybe I'll have two extra little Valentine's to celebrate with that day. (I'll be 37 weeks then! Yay!)

I just love your V.day tree! Thanks for posting the link for the letters, I might have to try my hand at those. :)
Your Valentine tree is gorgeous! I decorated a vintage inspired mantel this year and used some graphics similar to yours that I found online for free! I also incorporated some old wedding photos of me and hubby. Your tree really stands out among your white furniture. Oh the joy of hearing your little sweetheart ooooh and ahhh over the tree. You're creating sweet memories for her. I can remember when you just got started look at you now!
