Kindred Spirits Creations: Some Valentine's Day Craftiness

Thought it would be fun to share some of the Valentine's Day Decorations I've made over the past 5 or so years for my next post to Kindred Spirits Creations!

I made the X&O combo for my sister Sabrina, for her birthday ... she's a New Years Eve Baby and we both really LOVE to celebrate/decorate for all the holidays and LOVE crafting so I found it appropriate to make this for her :-)

The following candle holders where made just over 4 years ago while I was on maternity leave with our first daughter, Sydney. I worked up till my due date ... she was more than week past due ... needless to say I was a bit anxious while awaiting her arrival so I directed my attention to crafting ... surprise, surprise :-) Although, I'm thinking the crafting got me a bit relaxed cause she (Sydney) was still was content to stay in Momma's Oven come eviction time :-) Needless to say ... these candle holders I created will always hold a special place in my heart!!!

Mini candle holders ... inspired by the mini-me within :-) Although I've had a heck of a time finding candles this small (any suggestions would be appreciated)

This is a "LOVE" banner that I made for our fireplace ... just adds that simple touch that I love! I've included some close-ups of the letters that I made. My MIL made the hand-prints hearts with our girls last year ... Something I will always cherish!

Our table is one of the only things in our house that I can "control" how it looks through out the day (which is a stated accomplishment as we sit at the table for three meals a day and feel this is an important family tradition to maintain family values) and I find it very welcoming for our table to display the seasons/holidays ... I made these whimsical napkin holders about 5-6 years ago and I still love them!!! Simply stated yet beautiful!!!
