I had the best week last week with my sister and her family!! The cousins had a grand time together!! And Oh MY! When they left.. It was February! How did that happen??
I had a plan for a Valentine's mantle.. Simple. Pink. Soft.
& that's exactly how it turned out. LOVE!
Speaking of {LOVE} .. my favorite part of the mantle turned out to be a sign, with LOVE on it.
Garrett had been collecting treasures (read also: dumpster diving) and found some great pieces of pressed wood. He claimed the larger one for the fort (of course!) but said I could have the other piece.
I should probably interject that the dumpster is next door.. a site of new construction..mostly full of pallets and other home materials that 8 year old boys find amazing and essential to build a fort! ;)
Here's the finished sign.
