Sprucing up/Put a wreath on it

Guess what? 
I am not decorating for Valentines day. 
I just don't feel like it. 
Of course I will hang up all of the beautiful thoughtful artwork my children make at school but I'm not bringing down the box of Valentine decorations.
It's just that once all of the suffocating Christmas decor was cleared out I kind of liked the look of emptiness. 
So I just did some sprucing up.

Something new to think about in the new year.

After I took the stockings off, I decided to leave the ladder. 
Whenever I'm at a loss for how to decorate something, my motto is:
"If you like it then you shoulda put a wreath on it." 
It has worked for me so far.

I took the cardinal tree topper off of the tree and stuck it up on the armoire. 
I also replaced a little wreath on the window with this big mama.  "All the single ladies..."
Then I filled the jars (a birthday present from Samantha) with some berry stick things and moss.

After I removed the holiday garb from the front of my house it just looked too naked. 
I stuck a little wreath on the rickedy old chair with my favorite burlap ribbon. 
("Oh, oh, oh.  Oh, oh, oh...")
I found a new home for my family sign too.

When Spring gets here, I'll fill my pot with weeds flowers.
I stuck a basket of burlap and pinecones in the box. 

On my bookshelf I took the burlap bow that I had made for my Christmas wreath and stuck it on top of the birdcage.  I just couldn't see throwing away a perfectly good burlap bow just because the wreath was dead.

And finally I ripped out the little birdie and nest that was hot glued in this cage and filled it with some wooden stars I picked up at Goodwill. 

I think everything's good and spruced up now. 
"Put your hands up."
