♪ The best part of waking up ♫… isn’t Folgers in your cup but coffee filter garlands.
Since Spark, my cha Dear Lizzy Booth and now Valentine’s decor I’ve gone through 1800 coffee filters. 3 jumbo packs. Sheesh that doesn’t include Rhonna and Margie’s. After we took down all the garlands for Spark, which was A LOT, even Collin missed them. So I was happy to decorate for Valentine’s Day & if you’ve been to Dear Lizzie boutique the entrance to their store is so fabulous! Right then and there I knew I needed some filter fun strung for February.
The La La Love You print I got a couple years ago and used it for inspiration in my book. One of the jars is filled with cute plastic conversation hearts and the other one is filled with love notes. (Margie had love notes in her booth at cha and I loved reading one everyday.)
The heart boxes are my favorite-with the big chunky hanging crystals from House of 3. My Spark sister Rhonna posted a tutorial for making the coffee filter flowers on her blog. She’s very serious in the video but don’t let that fool you. If she could she would have been squealing and dancing around while she filmed! x0 There was a hot glue gun involved so that was probably why. 
The X & O are wood letters I got from Roberts then glittered the heck out of them. I forgot to spray paint them before. Painting them about the same color of the glitter helps with coverage. Since I must of been too excited to start modpodging I forgot that step, which wasn’t that bad just meant lots more sparkle. Okay possibly some frustration which led to trash talking the glitter too.
Looking at this reminds me… it’s time for new family photos. Any recommendations? Wish Maggie was closer!!

precious!
It looks sooo cute.
The room looks gorgeous!
As for a photographer, Jana Laurene who did a painting of your girls now lives in UT and did a great job of my SIL's engagement and wedding pics.
love all of it. you are really talented. Also, how do you find the time to do this. Do you save the decorations from year to year or do new ones each year for each holiday?
woweee…this just looks so awesome & makes me smile

Liz – where'd ya get the Instax Carousel?? Is it specifically for them, or some great Target find??
i LOVE it!
so i would pretty much come over there from boise right now if you would let me take your family photos. i would even buy you guys ice cream cones with sprinkles on top during the shoot. (or is there something else that would make a better bribe??? that's the best i could come up with.) : D

I never decorate for Valentines and I so wish I had. I also love Allie Moss…have her on my playlist now too.
This is so fun!!! Just makes me happy.
Thanks for the inspiration! I don't normally decorate for Valentines day (BOOO), but after seeing this, my boys and I decorated our mantel yesterday! I love it, it totaly cheers me up to look at!
Looks fabulous. Dreamy. LOL.
Lovely! I wanna be there for V-day!
Super! I envy your "guts" to do this within your home decor. I think I am too stuffy or something. Albeit, I am very inspired by your garlands.
