valentines day is just around the corner! it's one of my favorite holidays because...well, because i'm a
lover! i love, love! ha. this is a little how-to i shared last year on how to make a cute valentines tree. i
think flowers are nice every once in a while but i'm really not a huge fan. they die so fast and make a
crazy mess. this is such a fun alternative because a.) it looks cool b.) it doesn't leave petals
 everywhere and c.) you don't have to water it! holla! happy making! 

valentines tree: 
                           1. go outside and rip a dead winter branch off a tree. 
                           2. cut some shapes out of pretty paper. 
                              {i used a pack of $1 paper from target.}
                           3. decorate your shapes with cute little sayings, glitter, or sequence.
                           4. hole punch your shapes.
                           5. lace a piece of yarn through the hole and tie it to a branch. 
                           6. stand the branches up in a vase. 
                             {i poured expired beans i had into the vase to help steady the branches.}
