Amber's shower isn't until Saturday, but I have things piled up on the table to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. I found the cute red and white tree at Hobby Lobby for 90% off...$2. It was in their collection of Christmas decorations for sports fans. I'm excited to now have a Valentines tree!
Treat Boxes...
I love painting and decorating papier mache boxes.
The pink ones above were in Target's dollar bins...already pink!
These will be filled with chocolates and small trinkets.
I'm doing door prizes...I hate stupid shower games.
The red boxes are also for door prizes.
Favors are Sweethearts boxes (not shown) decorated with a cute valentine tag on the front.
I'm making smaller versions of the treat boxes for the little girls who'll be there.
Valentine Garland...
The beauty of a Valentines theme is that I get my house decorated for the holiday at the same time.
A quick and easy garland with printed valentines and aqua rick-rack.
I added a few heart-shaped buttons.
A close up of some of the cards. They are about 8" in length.
I have to say again...I am so glad that Valentines Day is a "red" holiday!
I will be so glad to back to blogging more regularly. Do you ever feel that you have lost your "Blogging Mojo?" I'm doing a lot of crafting...but not a lot of what I would like to do...my head is bursting with ideas, but I have to get this wedding thing over with. It's all good, though. I can't wait to see my daughter happily settled down with the right person this time.
Go check out Hobby Lobby for those trees.
Ours had a lot of red/white ones left a few days ago.
