The place that I usually like to decorate for Valentine's day is my family room mantel. Well, not only for V-day but for most holidays. Being that this is the room my family uses the most, I can truly say we really enjoy the new decor that comes with each new season.
It's fun when I see my kids close to the fireplace, especially during these cold days, warming up and playing around with the stuff I decorate the mantel with. Even before taking the pics, I noticed the hearts on the garland were mysteriously disappearing! :)
This year's focal point is the heart art, thanks so much for your kind comments on this project. It was placed atop an old window that I painted ASCP-Duck Blue.
However, I don't know why.
I was not happy with only one big, gigantic heart.
Nope.
I went heart hunting the house. :)
And found these Recycled beaded hearts which were also brought up here to the mantel.
A handful of Fabric Hearts were also added.
Yeah...
I'm now feeling like the Queen of Hearts!
Truth is, these were the tools I used. ;)
A sheaf of arrows I created.
Hmmm, no other way around it.
The timing was perfect...
Perfect for Valentine.
