I've done a good job throughout my pregnancy of keeping my weight in check.
But I have a feeling these last seven weeks are going to be harder.
Not because I'm hungrier, but because I decided to put this little Valentine's display on my dining room table.
I can't seem to walk by it without grabbing some candy from one of the jars!
This was really easy to put together.
I found the tray at the Salvation Army last month for $1.99. It looked like this:
After I removed all of the magazine pictures from it and used some "Goo Gone," Jason hit it with a fresh coat of white spray paint.
The apothecary jars I've found thrifting over the years (and a couple on clearance at AC Moore), so I just filled them with a variety of Valentine's candy.
The rose ball was originally created for Imani's birthday mantel. I found the "Love" heart at Hobby Lobby for 67 cents and just stuck it in the top.
I got out my stamps and made the XO tags along with the Happy Valentine's Day card.
And there you have it . . . a little Valentine's display that's tempting everyone in the house!
Stephenie,
ReplyDeleteAdore you Valentine's Centerpiece! How sweet (in more than way.) I can't believe someone used that tray the way it looked before Jason painted it.
I don't think you need to worry about gaining weight. You're beautiful.
Your Friend,
Deborah
Very cute, and tempting.:) I am in the middle of making one of those cute little crepe paper flower balls and it takes forever. Good luck with keeping the weight in check!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute display! I wanted to do one with chocolates...but...decided against against it...no pregnant :) (by a long shot!) but weight has always been a problem...always!
ReplyDeleteI really DO need to do something for Valentines Day though...and soon. Gosh, time does race by fast!
White spray paint works magic. I need to buy some (as soon as this ice storm melts) for a few projects.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a display in chocolate with red hearts to dispaly around, but as you know your father could not take the temptation. So, needless to say I am keeping Valentine's day simple. Window and door decoration of red and pink and white. And a card for HIM and maybe a shirt of some sort....we shall see.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could decorate with candy like you did!
It looks fabulous!
Love,
Mom
