Hearts All Around

I was browsing around Pinterest earlier and I found this picture. Or I suppose it's a tutorial picture. Anyway, I am doing this. I love to look around Pinterest and see all the pretty projects and design ideas people post. I love getting my Real Simple e-mails and my Good Housekeeping e-mails and viewing all the pretty decor things. But not having a real space of my own, it's hard to decorate. It's almost like I'm living in a dorm again but even in my dorm I felt like I had more room to decorate than I do living in my in-law's basement. Now don't get me wrong, the place is decorated, it's just not *my* decorations or designs and what not. So, I saw this and I decided I am going to make it. It's something simple and inexpensive to make. And I won't feel like I'm intruding by hanging this up. So this afternoon I'll be heading out on an adventure to collect paint samples in fun colors, pick up a heart shaped hole punch (it's a good thing to add to my collection, anyway!) and some string and then I'll be going home and making myself an awesome garland to hang in our bedroom! I'm really excited about it!

Have you ever completed any fun projects like this? I can't wait to see how it turns out. And I can't wait until I have my own place to really decorate and do more fun DIY projects!
