crafty friday, kisses & hugs wreath


can you believe valentine's day is right around the corner? i'm already missing my christmas decorations i just finished packing away.


moving on...


i've gathered some pretty sweet ideas for the upcoming holiday on pinterest (my daily obsession) and fell deeply, madly in love with this one.



berry vines are not cheap, so when i came across these on clearance from christmas i was stoked. for reals, i think i forked out three bucks total for them. budget score!


a little side view glance i get when i greet brenner after school every day. 


our front door doesn't play well with wreaths, so if you're in the same boat - here is another way to display them.

with the new year and one of my resolutions to get better organized in the kitchen/entertainment department, here are the final contestants on my crafty friday to-do list. i tossed in a bedroom organizer for good measure. enjoy!
