valentine craft love ~

 We are getting tons of snow today, so I decided it would be best

to stay off the roads and take advantage of a day at home.

It was a day filled with pricing goods, doing laundry, and 

working on a few crafty valentine projects.

When I was digging through a box of stuff waiting to be priced,

I found a pair of old chalkware plaques.  They had fruit decals in the

center that someone had tried to scrape off and immediately I knew

they could be salvaged and turned into something pretty!

 A few weeks ago, I bought the coolest fattest old dictionary with yellowed pages.

I chose the words "valentine" and "love", cut them out and decoupaged them

right over the fruit decals.

I had a couple flowers in my "this and that" drawer as well as few bits of burlap

that I hot glued on for a bit of embellishment.

 I decided to hang them in my foyer.

Now I just need to finish up that area with a few other "lovely" accessories!

Hope you all are enjoying your week!
