Valentine’s Day DIY

For the month of love, I find myself reflecting on what a busy month we have had with our loved ones, starting with a trip to my hometown to visit my sick Grandpa.  Before I get to my projects, I have to share some pictures from our visit.

This picture is priceless. I was reading to her and my mom took the picture. Look at that wave!

I sewed a flag for my brother's grave sit with his brand on it. I can't believe in April he will have been gone a year. It breaks my heart that he isn't with us anymore and that Avery will never get to meet her amazing Uncle Karlton. Miss you brother. Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind.

Now that I am in tears, I will get to my projects. We had a mini photo shoot to make our Valentines and now that baby girl is mobile, I will say it was not easy! She was constantly crawling off or pulling on the banner or teddy bear.

My little sweetheart!

I love this one, but of course once the baby would smile and look at me, the dogs were not. Lol

This was as good as it got for the pictures with the dogs. Chloe looks thrilled, but at least they were all looking!

For the Valentines, I punched a small hole in the bottom of the card and tied some bakers twine around the front.

Another project I made was a banner for our living room.  I did a Valentine’s Day chalkboard and hung the banner above it.  I love how it turned out!

I made an Our Love Story banner to hang above our chalkboard in the living room.
Our Love Story.
The flag looked perfect with my frame "wreath" that my mom and I made over Christmas of 2014. For Valentine's month, I switched out the ribbon and added some glittery hearts. The flag and wreath together looked too cute for words!
