Call Me Crazy

For some reason I just didn't want to take the Christmas tree down this year.  And so it's no longer a Christmas tree, but a traditional Valentine's Day Tree. :)


I already had the heart and silver ornaments, and I just bought the red and pink garland on clearance at Walmart earlier in the week.  I really want to put an empty heart shaped chocolate box at the top of the tree, but Walmart wasn't selling those yet when I looked.  I'll have to pick one up as soon as I see them!


Another Valentine's Day decoration currently on display in the Kennington household is this heart garland hanging on our mantle.  My mom and I crocheted the hearts together, and I strung them together.  I'm really happy with how they turned out -- here's the pattern we used if anyone's interested! :)



I really like having these fun Valentine's decorations out - it's such a fun holiday, and it definitely made it easier to put away the Christmas stuff.

Oh my goodness, I LOVE the heart garland! Too bad I can't crochet. But you've inspired me to make some Valentines decorations. Red & pink - what's not to love?
