To finish off the project I placed the girls colored heart into a soup can that had been wrapped in scrapbook paper.

I know it is hard to see in detail. I wrote 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 on each heart.
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love does not envy
Love does not boast
Love is not proud
Love is not rude
Love always trust
Love always hopes
Love never fails
I decided to hang it at the kitchen window. It was looking a little bear after all of the Fall and Christmas decorations had been put away.
Another thing I did was change out my Mason Jar candle holders.
I removed the corn and the candles and ribbon that match my kitchen. I added Conversation Hearts, pink polka dot ribbon and pink candles. They are so versatile and use two things that I love, mason jars and candles! The best thing about these is that come the first of March I can leave in the pink candle and ribbon and just add jelly beans to the bottom! I am so glad that I stumble onto this idea.
I have been working on a few more things for Valentine's Day. I am hopeful that I will have them complete before Valentine's Day. If not, I guess there is always next year!
I received several picture boxes for Christmas last year and never utilized them! They had been sitting on the shelf for the last year. I know, shame on me!
Here are the after pictures:
It was such a mess that every time I went searching for something things just fell out. I can't believe I am admitting this! Now everything is put away and labeled. This area is always a thorn for me. I am only 5 foot and need a stool to reach most anything on the shelves. I admit that I am just lazy and don't want to take the time to get the stool out! One of my goals is the maintain order in this closet.
I know it is silly, but I am so happy with the results that I have opened the closet door several times since it has been cleaned out!
I love it! I really want to hang it up, but I am going to hold off. (If I can!) I plan to hang wallpaper in my living room as soon as I get the ceiling painted. I will post pictures once I get it hung.
My 14 year old niece gave me this:
She drew this! She used a picture that was taken not long after we came home. The Chinese lettering says Megan. I am blown away by this!
One of my gifts from Chuck was 2 containers of floor adhesive! I was so excited when I opened it. I have been wanting a new floor in the bathroom and Chuck wasn't so keen on putting it in. This was his way of telling me that I could have the new flooring! I don't need diamonds to make me happy, new flooring or should I say floor adhesive is just fine!
