I was on the look-out for Valentine Decor ideas.
I found quite a few cute ideas, and posted about it here.

Do any of you decorate for Valentines? :beat
What do you do?? Show me... show me... I need more ideas.

No decor for us...its just another day around our house except for a card/candy/etc. I am planning to take a photo of me with my hand out and give out Tootsie Pops to my co-workers...just for fun! Found the idea on Pinterest so there may be a ton of other ideas there, as well.
 
oooh - i have some stuff to put up , but i haven't gotten around to it yet .. maybe this weekend :) i'll take pics and share once i do!
 
I don't usually decorate for Valentine's day. I know I guess I'm boring! lol! But I always love when other people do!
 
I don't usually do anything, but I looked at the inspiration on your blog and I do have one of those in my house, except that mine is permanent, not just for Valentine's Day. :)

If you're looking for something cheap and easy to do with your kids, this was a big hit for my little ones last year. I know yours are older, but it could still be fun for them. I loved how it actually looked pretty and not like a preschool craft (probably because I did most of it)

I did a plain red one like theirs and a glittery one with mixed colors.
 
I found this pin last year and copied a scaled down version for my kitchen table. I did 2 apothecary jars, one filled with cotton candy and one filled with big conversation heart candy. Then, I had another glass vase with fresh red tulips. It was a fun look!

OMGosh, that is GORGEOUS! I want to have a Valentine's Day party now, just to decorate like this! :p
 
I might make a hearts garland with dd. I'm looking for a red ornate frame but haven't found it. Laura, thanks for posting the pin. That's a great idea.
 
LOL! I was going to post that Krista Sahlin had some cute ideas on her blog until I realized it was your original post. :) Oops!
 
I love Valentines decor! I don't know what it is about it - since pink and red really are not my favorite colors - but I really love decorating for it! Must be all the hearts. A few years ago I made some simple mobiles out of paper hearts (using printed digi papers) and I hang them in every window in the house. I haven't put them up yet this year but it's on my to-do list today.
 
i love valentines day, but have a strict rule of NOT decorating until the 1st of february.
i know, dumb rule. maybe. but i get sick of the clutter. HA!
i've got some cute decorations, but am always looking for MORE!
 
we don't do much in the way of valentines day decorations. i think i'm just too lazy if you want to get right down to the truth.
 
Loved your blog entry Krista!! And Cristina I remember when you did that ;-) Great ideas a'swirling now!

Holy WOW Laura... just sayin' those candy jars would be gone in no time flat with my family's sweet tooth! LOL

Cristina: That is SO awesome!! I LOVE that! Where did you hang allo f those? In a living area? Or a hallway?

Laura: Cotton Candy. What a AMAZING idea!! So need to do that. I was wondering what I was going to put in a jar that would fill it up. I'd need about 100 bags of those candy hearts. HAHA!!
