Free Valentine's Day Printables

Let me first declare..."I love free printables!"  I only discovered them in December (mock as you will..:), and I had such a good time using them to decorate for Christmas.  They are an extremely easy and inexpensive way to decorate for any holiday or celebration. The best part? They're FREE! You don't have to buy new frames for them, just use the ones you have already have.  You can also get free printables for cards, invitations, labels, banners etc....

I have tons of free printables collected for all occasions on my Pinterest board which you will be directed to if you click HERE.  Please swing by and become a follower!

Here are 20 Free Valentine's Day Printables (plus a bonus!):

Art Closet Reveal! Before and After....

The inspiration for organizing my art closet was from the blog Pink Suede Shoe (love love love that blog!).  Here's is the picture that started it all:

Here is my "BEFORE" (some of you may need to look away as this may cause anxiety).

Wow...that's embarrassing!

And my "AFTER"!!!!!

I am SO happy with the final result!  

For my birthday, I asked my husband for the money to make an organized art closet...he was more than happy to (and I think a little relieved that he didn't need to shop for a present!:), plus the handyman that he is, he even shopped, measured and installed the 2 new mdf board shelves.  He's such a good man! 

Here's a project breakdown:

• Purchased 2 MDF boards from Home Depot - $9.99 each.
• Took down the rod and replaced it with one of the boards.  It is the perfect fit for my beading boxes and my table easel for painting as you can see in the photo below.

• Purchased 16 clear shoe box containers from Home Depot - (sale!) $0.99 each.
• Labelled each box and filled it with supplies, they fit perfectly 2 x 2 above my newly added shelf! 

At the very top of the closet is a very tall space, so any of the Christmas decorations that didn't fit into my rubbermaid containers were placed up there...as well as some Christmas craft items from boxing day!

• Purchased 2 tall sets of plastic drawers at Canadian Tire - (sale!) $19.99 each
• Filled them with art supplies for the kids to use. 
• Above the plastic drawers went the second mdf board...makes a lovely set up.

The drawers are so handy as they are on wheels so the kids can roll them into any room to do their arts and crafts.  They also love that everything is labelled.  Things are so easy to find now!  

In the right corner in the photo below, you will also see 4 white boxes.  Those are photo boxes from the craft store, Michael's, which I purchased on sale for only $2.50 each...(one of my future BIG projects!).

I saw this next idea on Pinterest (see photo below).  On the right had side of the closet, attached to my wall, I have one of the plastic bag holders from Ikea.  I am using this for my rolls of wrapping paper as well as my shelving paper.  It's so awesome to have it neatly tucked away and it is such an easy idea!!

I just want to give a special mention to the sewing machine you see in my art closet.  My mom passed away in March and one of the things I "inherited" was her lovely sewing machine.  This is probably a good time to mention that "I do not know how to sew".  BUT!...I am determined to learn!  I'll start with something easy...like this pillow tutorial or this cool fancy tea towel tutorial over at one of my favourite blogs...Mini Manor.  If you love design and organizing, you'll love this blog too!  Say hi to Ashli for me!

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is my Art closet!

"oooooooh.....ahhhhhhhhhh"
