{LOVE blocks}

Our house needed a little Valentine decor.  My kiddos love it when I decorate for the holidays- Here are some wood blocks I made.  I had my husband cut the blocks out of a 2x6.  Each block is a different height.  The L is 10 inches, O is 8 inches, V is 9 in., and the E is 7 inches.  First I painted each block (and sanded the sides a bit).  I used digital scrapbooking paper and letters for the word LOVE, but you could do this with any scrapbook paper and cut out letters as well.  I then modpodged on the paper-SUPER EASY and fast!
I used some fun ribbon to tie around the sides and on the top-everything looks a little more cute with ribbon right?!

I also added a few sparkly hearts to my chandelier to get a little more festive.  I found these at Tai Pan Trading.
& I found this table runner on PotteryBarn Kids website-It is adorable and would be so easy to make...if only I had time!  It would go with the bags I made for my kids last year.  Maybe next year.

  1. Love the blocks! You did a fab job on them! And I really REALLY like the hearts on the chandelier, too! I keep talking about making cute lil' paper hearts to hang from the chandeliers here, but haven't gotten to it yet! So this is inspiring~!
