Although it's only mid-January, my crafting brain has turned to Valentine projects. My local grocery chain (Meijer) is carrying these vintage-inspired chocolate boxes. I'm a sucker for anything vintage looking and the $1.49 price tag isn't bad either.
Over the last week, I stopped by Target and Dollar General and picked up a couple of Christmas items that were 90% off.
The red felt tree skirt (Dollar General) received a few felt hearts and is now my Valentine tree skirt for my year-round sunroom tree. Excuse the wrinkles. I haven't decorated the tree yet, but I've added a few red lights.
The fabric houses and felt heart were part of this year's Target line of ornaments and with a few embellishments, they will also be added to my Valentine tree.
Are you working on any special Valentine projects?
XOXO

Oh! Aren't those vintage looking boxes cute? I just love them. Great things for your Valentine decorating there, too. xo Diana
I started writing my comment and it looked like I was copying Diana! lol So let's start again! Those are VERY cute chocolate boxes and I love the fun finds you got for Valentine's. Sweet hugs, Diane
Lovin the tree skirt! My feather tree is decorated for Valentine's Day but I don't have anything new for it... yet. Have fun crafting:@)
I those little cottages, but couldn't think of anything to do with them. Darn it! They would have been great on my pink tree. I finished up my Heart to Heart Swap so I am done with Valentine making. I think. You never know......:)
Very smart idea with the tree skirt!
Yes, I'm trying to make a few Valentine goodies :)
warmly,

You are always a step - or more - ahead of me, Kim! Great projects! xo Nellie
I've pinned and made lots of valentine goodies! I found ribbon on clearance 80% off in reds that is just fine for RED HOLIDAY #2! Are you readying for Chinese New Year too?
Enjoying making some goodies for Valentine's Day too! What adorable boxes! Isn't it fun finding stuff on clearance after holidays? I love hunting down fun stuff. Maggie
I always love your makeovers! So cute. Happy almost end of the week.

Oh, I wish we had that grocery store! Cute! I've been doing lots of Valentine crafting and card making. Still have to decorate my little purple tree.
Wish we had a target closer than an hour drive, you found some sweet bargains. Love your new tree skirt.
Love your makeovers Kim! So clever!
Ohhhhh, too cute! I saw those house ornaments and passed them up. WHAAAAAAAAT! I never thought of my valentine tree! You have the touch!
Busy, busy gal. The tree skirt is great and am sure it will be enjoyed for years.
Cute!! You can't even tell that those houses were part of a Christmas line. They are perfect for V Day!

Well, I guess I'm going to Meijers this morning! Those are just adorable! I have done NO Valentine's crafting yet. I have a few ideas of things I want to do, but time is slipping away from me.
Great little makeovers! So adorable!
Everything is cute as can be, Kim!
Oh how I wish I had a Target or Dollar General near me!
I'm crafting for selling Valentine items. Mostly Yo yo related things and maybe a Valentines rag ball garland. :)
Love the boxes of chocolates, and the graphics are so cute!! What a great idea with the tree skirt, it looks adorable around your tree!! Can't wait to see it all decorated! :) xo Holly
Love the little houses - so cute! I joined Viv's swap so I can get my "crafty" on - hope it works :)
I am with you I love the vintage looking valentines. You find the best treasures my dear.

I never thought about the fact that you need tree skirts throughout the year for the different holidays! Your transformation of the felt one looks like it was made for Valentine's Day!
Not sure where you find the time . . . crafting, working, vintage looking, school events, valentine tree, decorating, skating, A-Frame visits . . . WHEWWWW . . . maybe your days have extra hours? I forgot meal planning, cooking and sleeping . . .
Happy Days Kim . . . save time to keep showing us your talents, I for one, ENJOY YOU!
