Some Help, Please.

My house looks so sad without any Christmas Decorations. When I lived in Utah I had this whole box of snowman decorations that I left up through January, but they just feel wrong when the weather has been sunny and 78 degrees. I decided I need some Valentine's Decorations, cuz I have zero. Well we just got pre approved for a home loan so I'm cracking down even harder on spending. Working with what I have is easy, coming up with the ideas has been harder. So I ask for your help. I made these bags out of some scrapbook paper the other day, but they need words or something on them.
I was thinking like MINE or LOVE and then I thought maybe a saying would be cute so I was trying to do like LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED but that's one word too many and LOVE ONE ANOTHER is a word too short. Now is the part where you give me your opinion and ideas so I can finish my project. Thanks in advance!

ALSO there are nine blocks on the above shelf that I have plans for writting LOVE BIRDS across, but since we were sick all of December I never got Christmas' saying on a side. Would love your nine letter ideas that as well.

Way cute, Kimi! Okay, let's think... for the Valentine's: you could reverse the order of the bags and still have "mine" but maybe on the first bag, you could have a little heart on the top that says "Be" so all together it would read "Be Mine" or you do the "Love is all you need" and just have "is all" share a bag. Or "X O X O" is always cute.
Okay, 9 letter Christmas words...where's Cory when you need him... uh...stockings, reindeer (and a pic of a sleigh or antlers), umm....presents & a pic of a present, nativity & a manger/angel (by the way, 8 letters is easier than 9).
Hope that helps get the creative juices flowing!

Did you mean 9 letters for Christmas or valentines? I thought Valentines. V-a-l-e-n-t-i-n-e = 9 or H-u-g-s & k-i-s-s-es sort of are 9.

Cory got home and pointed out that "Christmas" has 9 letters. I probably should have thought of that. He also came up with "ornaments." (That would be cute if each letter was on a die cut of an ornament.) "Bethlehem" & "Poinsettia" have 9 letters. This is a fun game, Kimi! Give me another one to work on!

I saw this at a party the other day. Take a glass jar and put conversation hears in it with a candle in the middle.

I saw this one at Christmas but you could make it work for v-day.
Take card stock/ cardboard and make a heart and put red candy on it, then hang it on your door. Good Luck

p.s. congrats on house!
