A Month of Posts= A Happy Girl

Ok so I have so many posts I have wanted to do this past month but with the new baby it leaves me little time with both hands free to type. :) So here's a few.
1st one- this little blog here is a year old now. Yay
Happy 1st Birthday Savvy Chic Home!
First of all I just want to say thank you to all of you bloggers out there. I get great ideas from you and I love reading your blogs. You inspire me every day. I hope I am helping and inspiring some of you out there too.

Second "post"- Yes I did decorate for Valentines Day. Oh how I love to decorate for this holday- so girly. And with 4 girls in this house it is even better!
  I used the little pillow I made last year on my mantle.
 Found 3 of these berry wreaths at Goodwill. What a score!

I made these "conversation heart" Valentine's Blocks. Be Mine, True Love, and Kiss Me.
 

Third "post"- I got some beautiful new lamps for Valentine's/ having a baby. Gotta love me some TJ Maxx. I love the silver finish, the beautiful shape and the drum shades. And oh so better than the scrawny ones we had before. It cleans up the room nicely.


Does anyone else buy presents for themselves? Haha I guess I am kinda weird like that. My husband HATES shopping and I love it. I always find the best price for it so I just buy it for myself. :) He is usually assigned a Mr. fix it job as well (or sometimes all together), like helping hang curtains, making our washer/dryer stand, you get the point. So it is a win win. Now for some art above the bed and throw pillows. Ah the list never ends does it? See my DIY Easy Roman Shade tutorial here.


And lastly I have found some great second hand deals lately. Yes I even dumpster dove once. hahaha
But the one I have to share is that I got a Cricut! I got a screamin deal from a friend, and now I need me some cartridges! Yeah I am excited to make cute cards, some vinyl, and lots of home crafts. Link up your Cricut craft! I would love to see your ideas and also hear what your favorite cartridges are and any other Cricut advice.


So all in all this has been a great month. I have a cutie new baby who is smiling away now, some great blogging inspiration, a cute Valentines house, some gorgeous new lamps and a fun new mommy toy. Does life get any better? Well maybe- but this is great for me.
