First there’s a collection of Valentine’s Day notes. The above pictures are just 2 of the fun designs available – there’s 12 different notes that are 3 inch square and you can purchase the entire set for only $3.99 or sets of 4 for $1.89 – what a steal!
Next is a cute collection called Puppy Love for boys. Again, there are about 20 different items in the printable collection and I’m only showing you 2 of the available pieces.
And of course, the Puppy Love for Girls collection – isn’t it just adorable?? Those Hershey Nuggets wrappers are my fave!
And if you’re a cat lover instead, here’s a fun Purr-fect Love for Boys collection.
Let’s not forget those little girls! The Purr-fect Love for Girls is just purrrfect! 
Lauren also has 6 other Valentine’s Day collections that are absolutely darling and the above image is one of my favorites that I’ve used for years as teacher gifts – LOVE it!!

So who’s thinking about Valentine’s Day already…am I the only one?? I’m always on the lookout for little goodies that I know I can use later for different events or parties. I spotted these red and white swirl lollipops at Walmart for Christmas and at 75% off (making them .25 each!) I snatched up as many as I could because I knew they would be perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up. You can easily turn these Christmas lollipops into Valentine’s Day lollipops by adding a simple 2″ printable party circle to them and handing them out for a sweet treat.
Here’s the cute little Christmas lollipops I found.
I simply took off the outer packaging and removed the monkey stickers.
And now I have a pile of pretty red & white lollipops.
Then I downloaded and printed these cute, free Valentine’s Day circles from Elle C Creations over at Catch My Party.
Use some double sided tape to adhere to the lollipop and you’re set! You could even add a little ribbon to the stick and make it even cuter 
Hurry and run to your local Walmart to see if they still have any of these lollipops for your Valentine’s Day treats!!
For more free Valentine’s Day printables, check out this post from last year. But don’t worry, I’ll have plenty more Valentine’s Day posts coming up for you this year as well.

]]>I remember seeing these fun little metal mailboxes at Target last year. People had decorated them so cute and I decided I wanted to do that this year and make one for each of my kids, so as soon as I saw them in the dollar bins at Target, I snatched up 3 of them. Then I saw this darling idea at Wants and Wishes Design. She did a 14 Days of Valentine’s Day series on her blog last year where she chose 2 people that she anonymously delivered a special Valentine’s Day treat to, starting on February 1st and ending on Valentine’s Day. On the last day she revealed who their secret admirer was. I LOVE this idea and decided I’ll do something similar for my kids and maybe a secret person or two, if I’m really organized, haha!
So I’m incorporating both the little mailboxes and the 14 Days of Valentine’s idea. Each morning starting on February 1st I’ll put a little surprise in my kids’ decorated mailbox. I’m going to use the fun tags that Debbie at Wants and Wishes created for each of the days and I’ll use some of her darling gift ideas along with some of my own, tailored more towards what my kids specifically love.

Here are 2 of my 3 mailboxes…number 3 is not done yet, but I wanted to get this blog post done so you could start planning now if you want to do this fun activity. As I mentioned, I got my mailboxes in the dollar bins at Target. I’m not sure how many Targets still have these because I think they’re a hot seller! BUT, I have seen the paper mache ones at Hobby Lobby and you could totally use those as well!
I’m not a scrapbooker, but I LOVE scrapbook paper and embellishments. So bought a Valentine’s Day scrapbook kit and used the paper, stickers and ribbon to dress up my mailboxes. Obviously you don’t have to make your mailboxes as fancy as I did, you could simply get some fun alphabet and Valentine’s Day stickers to decorate them, or even let your kids decorate them with stickers or foamies!
Here are some of the gift ideas and printable tags that Debbie created for her 14 Days of Valentines. She has a post for each of the 14 days, so I have links to each of the days below where she gives you exactly what to buy and where she purchased her supplies along with the link to download the printable tag – it’s wonderful! Debbie also has a store on Etsy where she sells her graphic designs for parties, gifts, invitations, treat bag tags and more! She has some really fun ideas…check it out!!
Day 2 – Love You More Than Cake
Day 6 – Cozy Up With Some PINK Hot Chocolate
Day 8 – Bursting With XOXO For You
Day 9 – My Heart Beats For You
I can’t wait to start this fun little activity…I just know my kids are going to love it! And so would a secret person or two who maybe needs a little extra love in their life right now Have Fun!!

]]>Well, Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and that means it’s time to start decorating!! I hardly have ANY Valentine’s decorations so I’m trying to add to my collection this year and hopefully (if I can get them all done) I’ll be sharing some of my creations with you! I really like the idea of using prints or subway art to dress up your home a little. It’s quick and easy and there are TONS of cute freebies out there! I’ve been collecting my favorites on Pinterest so I thought I’d share them with you today!
In case you aren’t exactly sure how to add these fun prints to your holiday decor, you can do it a couple of ways…Visit the link to the website of the designer, then you can 1. Download the file(s) to your computer (usually either a PDF for use with Adobe Acrobat or a JPEG which is just like a regular picture file). Once it’s on your computer you can print it directly to your home printer using cardstock or photo paper. 2. You can download the JPEG file and then upload that file to Costco or another retail photo print store (like WalMart or Walgreens) and they will print it for you. 3. You can put the downloaded file onto a flash drive and take it to a print shop and they will print it for you on nice cardstock. Once you have your print, simply put it in a cute picture frame and you’re ready to roll!
Because I LOVE subway art, I decided to try my hand at creating my own using two of my favorite things right now…chevron and gray (with pink of course!). You can download it HERE.
Simple, but DARLING prints at Pizzazzerie
Fun chevron (love!) and saying from The Girls at eighteen25
Modern and simple design from Sprik Space
Loving this gray and pink one from The Bonjour Blog
Traditional subway art by designs by cp
Love heart print from The Fickle Pickle
I really like the non-traditional Valentine’s Day colors from Every Creative Endeavor.
FUN one from The 36th Avenue
If you decide to use any of these fun prints to spice up your Valentine’s Day decor, send it over, I’d love to see!
