From The Past: January 22, 2007

Saturday, before we found the Christmas ornaments on sale at Garden Ridge, we were in Target. They have lots of cute Valentine’s Day stuff in the dollar bins.

I found this garland:

I bought a package of cupids, big hearts, and small hearts at Garden Ridge. I don’t think I have decorated for Valentine’s Day in a long time, but it seems this year, I need another holiday to look forward to.

Some may think I have decorated too early, but I don’t at all. Valentine’s Day is on February 14th, so I’ll only have a few weeks to enjoy these decorations. Think about how long you leave your Christmas decorations out.

You wouldn’t believe how much Easter stuff Garden Ridge has. They do have Saint Patrick’s Day decorations also, but the amount of Easter decorations is phenomenal. If a person was in the mood, they could decorate their house as much for Easter as they do for Christmas. I can tell you right now that I will not be one of these people. I may buy some things to put in the windows or on the mantle, but that will be the extent of it.

We don’t have room to store big things, so I tend to gravitate toward the flat pieces I can hang in my windows. They look cute and make me happy, so that’s all that matters.
