Create a Beautiful Home On a Budget
The Blue Cottage is decorated for St. Patrick’s Day! I made this super easy St. Patrick’s Day banner — here is the tutorial.
You know me, I don’t pay much for decorations – I usually find inexpensive ones at thrift stores or craft stores, or tag sales.
I always have the next holiday in mind and my eye out for decorations for that holiday when I shop. St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, March 17 this year.
I’m loving all of the green in our living room.
I made this DIY Day Valentine’s gift “I Love You Because”… frame for us a few years ago, but you can use it all year around, thanks to it being reusable.
You can erase the note you wrote on the glass with a dry-erase pen over and over again, so you an use this for years to come. The kids can leave you messages, your partner can leave you messages.
This is definitely a cute gift for your boyfriend or husband, or you could decorate your home with it for Valentine’s Day.
Every family member can use it to leave little love notes to each other.
I spent an hour in the craft store, and it was pure bliss. Do you get giddy walking into a craft store? I do. There are so many DIY projects just waiting to be made! One of the things I saw were blue, scalloped note cards. I knew exactly what to make with them: the cutest Valentine for kids that I mentioned in the post about my 5 favorite Valentine’s Day ideas from Pinterest.
I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day cards for kids that say “I’ve got my eyes on you!” or “I’m wild about you!” — I think that’s kind of creepy.
That’s why I love this idea so much. It’s cute and clever.
