We decorated for Valentine’s Day this weekend.  As much as I love my January/winter decorations, I must say that I am really over winter this year (even though this winter so far has been a walk in the park compared to the last 2 winters), so switching to Valentine’s Day decorations felt like a breath of fresh (and not frigid, shiver inducing) air.

As a result, I was motivated to put out more Valentine’s Day decorations than usual.  These Ball jars were one of my new additions this year.  I saw the idea for these cute jars on Pinterest.  All I did was get a white doily for each jar and attached them with glue dots.  I punched hearts out of red card stock and used glue dots again to stick a heart on top of each doily.  Then I took red and white bakers’ twine and wrapped it around each jar a few times and tied it in a bow on top of the each heart.  I finished the jars off by filling them with conversation hearts and tulips – my favorite flower for Valentine’s Day.  I even made a mini version with a heart on the lid to complete my collection.  I love them – they make me feel happy and warm like spring is just around the corner… Come on Groundhog!  Don’t let me down!
