Valentine’s Day Heart Garland

Today I’m linking up with Katie and Stephanie for Saw it, Pinned it, Did it! Between the holidays, being sick, a sick baby, and being a working mom it’s been hard to find time to make any Pinterest crafts…but I’m so glad I did this one! It’s super easy and looks great on our chalkboard.
Will you be mine????

Here is the original pin…super cute paper heart garland.
For this garland I used items I already had on hand, which means this cost me $0. Here’s what you’ll need: red and pink craft paper, a heart punch, and red baker’s twine. If you don’t have any red baker’s twine go out and buy some right now. I’ve used it for so many things and just love it!
Punch out your hearts.
Line them up on your twine…I just eyeballed the spacing. Oh, and you’ll need a glue gun for this too. Place a dot of glue over the twine on the back side of one heart.
Then sandwich it closed with another heart. That way your garland is double sided. Keep going until you’ve reached your desired garland length. Or you run out of hearts. Whichever.
And then hang it up! See, I told you it was super easy!
Love
I love how it looks on my chalkboard. (This chalkboard was made by an antiques dealer…I’ve seen similar ones at HomeGoods….or you could make your own).
You can see other things I’ve pinned on Pinterest here.

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
