Good morning, good morning!
Man do I wish the Patriots had won yesterday. 🙁
Today, for a potentially slow moving Monday for all of us football fans…and those who just love the Sunday that is the Superbowl party…I have an easy little Valentine’s Day project, a Valentine’s Day book page heart wreath.
Did I mention she’s FREE? I always have that exact change in my wallet. 😉
See her snuck in the new gallery wall there? You may recall the faux zinc letter B was there for the reveal, or maybe not, whatever. 🙂
I thought a little pop of holiday, and color, would be fun to switch in that spot throughout the year.
For all of the deets on how to make this beauty you have to head over to A Content Housewife where I’m guest posting today, while Lianne is busy moving to Charleston. Hope it’s going well Lianne!
If you missed the nitty gritty details on how this whole wall is hanging from one screw please click here.
To hang the heart, I just hot glued a length of ribbon scrap to the back and duct taped it behind the framed stencils.
To me she’s just the right amount of Valentine’s Day in our otherwise neutral colored wall.
The whole deal took about 3 hours…perfect for a lazy evening.
I happened to be watching the collapse of Kyle Stanley at Torrey Pines. The poor guy had a 4 stroke lead on the tee at 18…and then nothing went right and he lost the tournament in a playoff.
I would gander to say my afternoon went better than his. Sorry Kyle!
Now, don’t forget to drop in on Lianne to see some more pics and how I made the rosettes.
And then, have a fabulous Monday.
Oh, and I’ll be back tomorrow with the announcement of the giveaway winner and my features from the Imagine the Impossibilities Link Party…I am having a seriously hard time narrowing it down…

I find the numbers game to be so interesting. There are a lot of bloggers out there that I think are very strictly focused on the quantity vs. quality of their followers/readers…the ones that follow every blog they ever click over to but might only read about 1/3 of them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and so many blogs have become really big that way. I see mine as more of a slow climb where people come and get interested and are wonderful enough to follow. So funny this blog world.

I blogged about followers today, too. It is big on our minds since Google made their announcement. Life would be so much simpler if things didn’t change, but…it might become boring, too. So, I try to go with the flow. I am following you on Linky now. Happy to do it! See you on mine, I hope!
Hugs, GraceinAZ

I heart that heart!! Shame about the Pats – but I won’t rub it in (much)!! You know I follow you in every way possible (that sounds wrong – but it’s really not)!

The red does and more “pop” to the wall. It’s nice to be able to interchange different pieces for different occasions and holidays.
Tiki says

Brianna @ RMV says
I can’t imagine not at least occasionally checking your numbers… If nothing else than for curiosities sake. I love to see where people around the world come visit from.
Very neat heart, btw. I wonder if you could make looser ones that look like poppies. The red, for some reason, put me in the thoughts of my favorite flower (poppies), not that the rosettes don’t look great!
Danni Baird says
That heart is beautiful and would add a pop of color anywhere! I feel the same way about blogging! Started out as something entirely different than what it has turned into….but isn’t it a lovely ride?! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your beautiful red heart. I’m following you with Linky now.

I love it all! Especially the fact that you change bits of it from time to time. The wreath is awesome and it does offer a nice pop of color. But I liked it unpainted as well.

Gorgeous heart! I was wondering the other day when it would cease to be exciting to have a new follower, pin, comment…I think the answer is a happy: Never :0)
Thanks so much for taking part in our Pin’Inspiration Party. Hope that you are having as much fun exploring as I am and that you’ll take part in helping the “Beat the Winter Blues” on Saturday.
