Spreadin a little more LOVE!

Well I guess I have been bitten by the "LOVE BUG" this Valentine's day cause I can't stop making decorations! This is it tho, onto spring, right???

Ewww... wait, maybe not just yet. This is what it looked like when I woke up yesterday morning. Beautiful and sooo quite! I love it... but that isn't what you are here for is it. (I realize this is nothing compared to my northern friends!)

Maybe it's the socks that have got me in the mood!?!

Today I put together one little vignette just inside the entry of my house.

Love potion! I found this label on google images, just typed in "love potion label" and there she was. I printed it off and spray adhesived it onto a .99 cent bottle from the Goodwill. I had these darling little beads so I strung them up and put them around the neck of the bottle. It's full of some kind of fruit drink I had laying around the house. If you do this put the drink in BEFORE you put the label on, as to not spill on said label. It kinda aged it out so I am fine with it, no worries.

 I also got this little pitcher from Goodwill and made a lollipop bouquet. Ummm, I love this time of year when you can get a whole bag of pink and red tootsie pops!

 Precious Mattie, I loved his sweet little soul.This is better than a plate full of fake chocolates.

I took this off of the other vignette so this is what you see as soon as you come in the door. Which set off changes on the other vignette I had.

Hanging from the knob of the entry dresser.

This is really what you see when you walk into the door. Can you read their minds??? Let me help you... mom can we PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEE go outside and play, we have been in this house for days!!!
To which I say... go ask your father!
So I mentioned I had some redecorating to do...

Notice anything different? I removed the love sign and put this candle there.

Let me show you how this all began.

Candlestick from Goodwill for .99. Love that store! Spray painted is with the same red Metal X Krylon spray paint.

Then I took these necklaces I purchased at CVS for a dollar. I cut them all apart. I only used the red for this project. I hot glued them onto a basic 3x6 white candle. Next I dipped them in a crock pot of melted wax.

This is just plain parafin wax but I didn't think it was deep enough so I added an old white candle I had.

I dipped mine twice but you be the judge if you do this. Sometimes once is enough. These make perfect teachers gifts! I have done this for years but I used to make them with Spree candies. They came in packages with red and white candies. I can't find them anymore except in their regular colors which are cute too, but not what I was looking for. I've made them with ALL kinds of items added.

This is probably my favorite! But I have added dried apples, oranges, ground coffee beans, cinnamon sticks, dried flowers, I mean anything you can think of.

Isn't it sweet? They look like gummies.
Oh and the pink beads, can't let those go to waste.

I added them to my Valentine tree.

So this is how this table looks now. And here is one last thing I made out of an angora sweater but... it is going to have to wait until next year for completion. For now it will just have to be a little pillow.

So soft and sweet!
One more pic of the snow. I made this last summer. I think I love it more in the winter!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!
