* ...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! 

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

* You can do it *

1.  2.  3.  4.  

Valentine's Day is really hard if you are in a long distance relationship. It's important to make your loved one happy. That's what my husband did. He painted me a super cute clothespin, just like the one on my inspiration board. (4.) It was one of the sweetest things he made me during our long distance stage. 

So when I started to plan our Hungarian wedding, I looked at that little clothespin, and decided to make our wedding favors just like the one HE made me. 

They are cheap and easy to make, and I think they are amazing gifts cause everyone will know that you made each and every one of them.  

Here is how I managed to make them by hand for all of the guests for our wedding. 

P.S.: If you have an insane amount of guests you might need some help from your friends and family to make them :) 

For my wedding I painted the back like a rainbow, and on the sides, I put our names and the date. I think everyone loved them, and I hope I could help you with this little project. 

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

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,
