A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Valentine Mantel and Banner

Valentine's Day Mantel and Banner

Wheels is a rock star when it comes to choosing cards!     We became officially engaged on June 10 – my parent’s wedding anniversary.  We were apart for much of our engagement, but on the tenth of the month without fail I would receive a “monthiversary” card from him.  And after we were married, the sweet, heartfelt cards continued four times a year.  My birthday, our anniversary, Christmas and Valentine’s Day.   I treasure every one — but I never go back to reread them and they are usually in a box in the closet.  And this year, I decided the Valentine cards deserved to be showcased!

I went through the box and chose nine cards about the same size and with a white, gold or red color theme.  Then I punched a hole in the corner and tied each card onto a Christmas string of red beads.  I dove into the stash and came up with ten hearts, and a pile of scrapbook embellishments.   I spelled out V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E  on the hearts and embellished them with glitter, buttons and other pretties.  Then I fastened them to the beads between each of the nine cards.  Needed a little fluff –curlies, and silk posies.  Some more cards on the mantel, the pink rose wreath on top of the silver mirror, and a little more fluff.

You can find a little fluff at your house to make February 14 — or any day — a special day and celebrate  relationships with the special people in your life, too!
