Valentine's Mantel & Chalkboards

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I thought it would be fun to share some pics of my festive mantle. I always love having an excuse to decorate. These decorations in particular were so cheap (Target baby!) and I am loving the dachshund stuff they had there which is perfect for the little hotdog I have at home.
The rest of the decor was simple pink and red candies in small hurricane glasses with tea light candles inside and a homemade heart garland I made out of leftover scrapbook paper. Hope you enjoy! : )
 I also made a DIY chalkboard out of an old mirror -- and these are the awesome results below.
Stay tuned for the extremely easy chalkboard tutorial coming soon......

Do you all decorate for valentine's day?

Hope you all have a lovely day! xo

    Love your decorations!!!! I don't decorate for Valentine's Day which is funny considering I decorate for every other holiday. I'll have to next year.
