Can you feel the love?!!

I guess you could say we're in the thick of winter now. In an effort to entertain themselves and others around them they formed a band - for one afternoon. I'm sorry to report the band has since broken up but it sure had potential!
In an effort to entertain myself and get the creative juices flowing, I managed to produce this Valentine's wreath. I think it's adorable! For a few days, I mindlessly wound yarn around foam balls from the dollar store. Zanna thought only grandmas used yarn. Will wondered what I was trying to sew. Oh, dear children! Then I got my hot glue gun out and went to work!
My big idea was to incorporate it into a Valentine themed mantel. I recruited some help to make tissue paper hearts to hang from jute string (all part of the vision;)
I dragged the children to Michael's Craft Store and found a few items to add to the display. I found these adorable little frames for super cheap and personalized them.
Ta-dah!! And here's the finished product. Can you feel the love?!!
