Fun Valentine's Table with Treat.

Hey there loves! I have a fantastic idea for a little Valentine's Day Party that your entire family will enjoy!  I planned this one a little bit ago so that you would all have time to prep if you decide to have one, too.

  

Valentine Entry & Tutorial

 I decided to add a little Valentine love to my entryway this week to brighten my spirits. 

 

The last few days have been pretty darn mediocre. 1) because Figgy has been sick and had to be brought to the vet and  2) dealing with frustrating issues with getting the services that my boys need.  The latter is not something that is comfortable or fun to talk about, but the reality is that my boys have special needs.  When your children have autism there are a lot of other issues, like anxiety and OCD, that sometimes go along with it. Things that require medication to function. All their doctors and therapists agree, but there are just not enough clinicians out there to prescribe. I cannot even begin to describe my frustration over this!

  

Anyway, on to happier things, like delicate, book page angel wings.

 

 

Cupid's Arrow Valentine Mantel

One of my goals for this weekend was to change up my mantel for Valentine's Day. 

I love how the paneling and bricks of our mantel are painted bright white since it gives such a great, neutral backdrop for whatever I want to showcase. Plus, the bricks looked awful before I painted them (about a year ago). Seriously, I have never seen such a weird color (red) and texture (they were almost totally smooth).  Plus, someone had painted the mortar black. Yuck.

Anyway, I decided to not use red in my Valentine décor this year. Instead, I played with the typical white and black that is the cornerstone to most of my decorating and added in pops of bright fuchsia and orange; I just love that color combo!

Rustic Glam Valentine Door Plaque

I decided to change it up for Valentine's Day and not do a traditional wreath for my door.

I have a super easy Valentine craft to share with you that is both inexpensive and something that the entire family can join in on.
