Favorite Things: Hearts and Love {and a Winner!}

Here’s another round of favorite things.  Last month we shared organizational favs, now we’ve got hearts and all things love.  First, let me tell you the winner of one print from Block Party Prints.   A fellow Montanan, number 11,  Brittany!  Oh, because I asked you to share your most memorable Valentine’s day, I’ll share mine.

Six years ago, Ben proposed (on February 4th!).  For V-day, he sent me a beautiful bouquet of tulips (my favorite flowers) along with a card saying he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with me.  Cue the “Awww.”

Now, here are a few ways to get more love in your life.

Make heart paper clips from How About Orange.  As simple as bending a plain paper clip!

Art is a quickie, and I’m loving this All You Need print from Rafa Jenn.  Sadly, the limited edition prints are sold out.  Perhaps something similar can be made using tissue paper?

We’re back to paper clips.  This time tons arranged in the shape of a heart from A Creative Mint.

Carry groceries or books in style with this Painted heart bag tutorial by V and Co.

Looking for a simple wreath to make?  Try this Paper heart wreath from The Hybrid Chick.  Cute, huh?

Twig and Thistle has adorable Naturally sweet Valentines stickers.

And, here are a few ways we share the love in our home:

His and hers State heart art by Poppy and Pinecone.

I Carry Your Heart cut out from Made By Julene reminds me of our anniversary every time I look at it.

Simple carved initials; the old school version of updating your Facebook relationship status.

And our most recent craft, a wax paper and crayon banner.

What have you been making for Valentine’s day?  Ready to tackle one or two of these ideas?  Which is your favorite?
