We can’t get through one holiday before we are on to the next! This year, I’m actually excited for the merchants to quickly fill the shelves for the next holiday. I have lots of little projects I want to do and I’m excited to see what I find.
Every year I say I’m going to get home accents for Valentine’s Day, but never do. By the time I shop, everything is picked over and I can never seem to find anything I like. I did some after Christmas shopping last night, thinking that a few days after Christmas they would have Valentine’s day merchandise to replace the bare shelves – I was right! Hobby Lobby was in the process of filling their shelves with Cupid! I found a small red sequin heart ornament for $1.99. I then headed to the scrapbook section, snagged some cute paper, stickers and grabbed a few frames at 50% off. *Before you head to Hobby Lobby, check online to see if they have a printable store coupon for things not currently on sale.
Here’s my first creation that took less than 5 minutes to make. I think it’s sweet and subtle. Best of all, it was quick and cost only $6.50 to make! If I had an extra frame hanging around the house, it would have only cost $1.50.
Pretty good!
