* ...Bonjour... *


January is not my favorite month... You have to put away all of your Christmas decorations and the house looks so empty.  I don't like our living room without those pretty lights, without the christmas candles. So I decided that I am going to decorate for Valentine's Day. I am going to ( try to) decorate my house for all the seasons, holidays etc. 

Here is how I made my Valentine's Day wreath.  
A super easy and cheap way to dress up your door.

I used:
*grapevine wreath 
*yarn 
( I got these two at Target, and I only spent $6 )
*MOD PODGE glue 
*scissors 



1. Make little circles with your yarn. Cover it with glue. Don't be shy, dip your fingers in the glue and run it through the yarn. Try to make little heart shapes. It's not so easy so I used clothespins to help me keep the shape. Let it dry. 


2. Now you're done with your hearts, we can start making some letters for your wreath. Don't be scared! Shape your letters the way YOU want them, one by one and put the glue on it. While they are drying you can still shape them, so don't get frustrated if the first one won't turn out the way you wanted it. 
Be patient and when you're done, let them dry.
( Look at my "B"... :) It's not the most prettiest one for sure, but i wanted it to be simple and easy.)



3. The last step is to put everything on your grapevine wreath. 

Here's how mine turned out:




I absolutely loved making this little wreath. 
I think playing with yarn would make same really interesting things like:
decorating your presents with some letters, hearts, flowers etc.

Let me know if you can think of anything else to use them for :) 

Have a very LOVEly day!

* bookend magic *



I love books. I absolutely LOVE books. 
I love how they smell, I love how they feel ...(weirdo) I love that magical world that they create when you read them. 
With all that said I have lots of books, I mean a LOT. 
Having lots of books on your bookshelf can be a little bit boring so I wanted an easy way to dress it up. 
I was looking on Pintreset ( where else?! ) and these were my favorite  ideas : 

1. 2. 3. 4.  
After all the researching I decided to be CREATIVE and make my own bookends. 
You need to know two things about me: 
 1.  I am obsessed with maps, airplanes... basically everything with traveling.
 2. I love collecting things ... " Don't throw away that "amazing" tissue box/toilet paper roll/ container, we can use it for something..." 


So here is what I came up with :







A-Z, here it is. I hope you liked it, and you'll be creative this weekend! 
Don't forget to RECYCLE

* wonderlust *



I had a long distance relationship with my husband for almost 3 years. I live with him now, in the United States, so now I am doing long distance with my parents. It is not easy, but it has made me love everything related to traveling. I love maps. I love globes. I love them because they remind me of my family, all the things we have been through, and all the adventures that are ahead of us. I love looking at them and thinking about my past and our future. 
That's the reason I started collecting globes, atlases, maps, and I am having some success finding them in thrift stores. They are super cheap, and you can use them in so many different ways to decorate your home.

Today I am going to show you how to make a nice picture out of cute little map planes. 









Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

Today, sadly, I used the rest of two candles. I really loved the jars so I wanted to be creative and use them for something else.

So  here is what I came up with :

Wedding


Let me tell you a little bit about our story before I start this series.
My husband and I got married a year ago. Our first wedding was super small ( and I mean super super small ... ). We had my husband’s parents, his brother amd wife celebrating with us. Since I am a Hungarian, my parents watched the ceremony on Skype.



Our second wedding was my big project… “The big Bohemian Travel Rainbow Wedding”. I made pretty much all the decorations and had lots of help from family and friends.
I am going to share all the DIYs I did in the wedding/party series.







Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
