Valentine’s Day is about three weeks away but it doesn’t hurt to start early! My coworkers gave me the idea of making conversation hearts to decorate our office and now I can’t stop! Our cubicle walls are now plastered with pastel hearts!

You can also hang them on your refrigerator and bedroom doors!

Here are some of my favorite conversation hearts. Download and print!

Now that I’m done shopping for the holidays (T-minus two days and counting ’til Christmas!), I’m in gift-wrapping mode! So I’ve rounded up a supply of printable gift tags for myself. Need some?

My youngest sister is a huge fan of Britney Spears. So last Christmas, I made her a gift set that includes a compilation of her greatest hits from her first album, Baby One More Time, through her 2008 Circus album as well as two DVDs of all her music videos. It took me nearly three months to finish! The hardest part of it all was creating a collage cover art out of all her album covers. Can you tell which seven albums I used to make the final product?

For the Michael Jackson gift set, check out my last post on Remembering Michael Jackson.

Here are some DIY decorations you can make to spice up your home for the holidays.

For those who love to send snail-mail letters, you should definitely check out this DIY. Design blog Ragehaus has a great how-to for creating your own wooden wax seal that will give your letters a warm, personalized look. This is also great for scrapbooking, wedding invitations and Christmas greeting cards!

The materials used for this project are very standard: X-ACTO knife, sandpaper, and wood block. Probably the most obscure tool (besides the sealing wax) is the wood-burning tool with a fine point. You can find this at most craft stores, and is definitely the best tool for the job.
