Painting some LOVE on Glass Platter

 
I had fun painting some "LOVE" on my glass platter, for our Valentine's Day wall décor, this weekend!
 
Craft paint works well for a temporary design and this is what I did on it for Valentine's Day.
 
 
 It looked like this for the Holidays...the Joy Painted Platter post is here.

 
 
I'm not a pro at letter painting, so, I used a white marker pen to layout where my letters would be placed.  Then I used a small, flat brush and went over the letters with my acrylic paint.
 
 The outside edge was done using just the white marker...so-o-o easy!

 
Year round possibilities, for designs on glass, with this technique...easy on and just wash off :)


Just had to add a close-up of my little, "love birds"...they're just so "tweet!"

 
And this wraps up my Valentine's décor.....I will now have to start  concentrating on all that I have to do to be prepared for our big move. I will be posting little projects here and there, and keep you informed of our progress. I need to start getting up the nerve to start dismantling the wall décor and start the packing process... it's going to be a very hard thing to do!!!
 
Love Hugs and Kisses,
JP

Valentine's Day Mantel & a Heart Giveaway

After realizing how many hearts were on our Valentine's Day Mantel I thought it might be fun for you to  find "how many" hearts are in this post to win this prize.
I will be giving away my grapevine, "sweater heart wreath" to one sharp winner!

Note: there are LOTS of hearts and some sneaky ones, too.....the hearts on the garland swag and necklaces will not count (too many hearts within them) 
ALL other hearts in each photo of this post count...
Now, start counting and share this post with anyone that you think might like to have some fun and win my cute, little heart, too!

******************************************************************
Now, a look at our mantel...

The traditional red and white theme works best for our décor and both vintage and nostalgic items from our collections were added to create this year's Valentine Mantel theme.

Mom's vintage pitcher, white roses and grandma's brass paperweight take center stage.

Lots of hearts here!

more...more...more!

our ladder of love stands nearby

with a "shabby glam" heart wreath

and valentine's of love.

lots of hearts here!

Grandma's, red vintage, heart, ring box is a cherished keepsake with a new photo of me and my girls...LOVE!
  The closest guess ( ALL hearts in every photo) wins....Good Luck!


Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
