This wasn't for Valentines day but the balloon reminded me- I was going to be away for a month for a business trip and we had balloons hanging around from our recent party- and I wrote love notes on the top of them. The idea was for when they began to float down he would notice them- so love notes on time release.

I did this for Mothers day for my Mom. I saw the tiny letters in Real Simple magazine. She loved it! The letter was a look back on the year and what was to come ahead. I also thought someone could put it in their pocket and carry it around with them if it was a really special letter or if that person was far away from you.

My condo had carpets and I was really excited to move to my new home with all wood floors- I have never lived in a house with wood floors. Then I realize I prefer carpets, hardwood is too hard on my feet! Hardwood looks great, but carpet looks comfortable.

In the top row- the picture all the way to the right- I love the clock in the corner of the picture. It looks very pillowy. Is that a DYI?

I don't know if you can really call that an attic though. Attics don't have fireplaces. More like a top floor.

I really like it, but my first thought is it looks like the wall has some sort of virus.

putting clothes or blankets in the dryer and then wearing them. i also put my coat in the dryer when i have time and then go outside in my toasty coat, it helps.

I had a problem in my kitchen, I wanted to have my toaster oven & microwave on a shelf over my trash can, with enough room for the lid to go up. I ended up with a folding bookcase from target online with the bottom shelves always up to accommodate my trash can. It sqeezed into a small space between my fridge & wall. I was so happy with the freed up counter space.

I didn't see the show and I don't think I would call this swirl, but my mugs are seamless from the mug to the handle. They are flow by villeroy and boch. http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=75391&PseudoMasterProdID=71973&trackingCat=9141&PseudoCat=Cat9141 Villeroy %26amp%3B Boch
