    Valentine's Day Tree and a Giveaway!

    By: Jane · Updated: 19 Feb, '22 · This post may contain affiliate links · 46 Comments

    Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I have one more Valentine's Day decoration to show you, and it's a Valentine's Day Tree! You may remember the little scrappy tree that was given to me a few years ago, and if you're a regular follower, you've seen it decorated for several seasons now. 

    Valentine's day tree | cottage at the crossroadsHere's the latest version-a pink and red Valentine's Day Tree! The decorations were put together with some things that I had on hand with the exception of the garland that you see above. I had a little help making that! 

    Brother p-touch label maker | cottage at the crossroadsI used this brand, spanking new Brother P-Touch Label Maker to personalize the garland with some cute "conversation heart" sayings. I was sent this label maker to review, and I'll have to say that this is the easiest one to use yet. All you do is pop in some batteries and a label cartridge, put the printed directions in front of you, and before you know it, you are creating some nice looking labels! 

    Bunting made with a brother p-touch label makerThe laminated labels are super easy to use because the back peels off so easily because it is split down the middle. I used some black construction paper to make the bunting and added the labels to the top. I already had some printed paper heart "scatters" so I glued some onto the bunting. To give the hearts a little 3-D effect, I folded some in the middle and added a little glue along the crease. 

    Valentine's day garland made with a brother label makerSuch a quick and easy decoration for my tree, don't you think?

    Valentine's day decorations made with a brother label makerSo pleased with how a little paper and some labels made such a cute decoration for my tree!

    Heart ornament for a valentine's day treeI already had the heart ornaments that I purchased a few years ago.

    Vintage embroidery | cottage at the crossroadsNow every tree needs a skirt, right? I remembered that I had this scrap of vintage embroidery work done in pink and red.

    Vintage embroidery work | cottage at the crossroadsI know it looks great here as a little skirt for my tree, but I really hope to think of something that I can make with it.

      What couldn't I label with this?!?!
      Crafts, kitchen, holiday decor, shoe boxes, sewing notions, cords-so many cords that need labels! The list goes on and on!

      After a year and a half it took to clean out my mothers house, a label maker would be great with sorting boxes of "everything". I'm a nut for separating and organizing. Too much my kids say. Haha!

      I love your tree...that is so cute and creative! Label makers are life savers, that's for sure. The one I've used for the last few years is truly on its last leg! 🙂 I've recently started reorganizing our pantry and could use a new one to label all of the new plastic containers!

I could label laundry sorting baskets. I could label so many things, the list could go on and on. The Brother P-Touch PTH110 Label Maker would make my life a lot more organized and easier.

      Such a fun and festive tree you have made. I can think of lots of ways to use the label machine in the craft room, kitchen, bathroom and in the barn.Also I would label all my boxes and containers of decorations. I love gadgets that make organizing fun.

      I am on the search for a cute little tree to decorate for holidays like: VD, St.Pat's, Flag, 4th of July and birthdays. So many options. Thank you for the idea.

      Happy Valentine's Day! I enjoy reading your blog and seeing photos of your lovely home and yard. We recently gave up our home office to our young grandchildren
      to use as a playroom. Our home office has been relocated to one of our guest bedrooms and I could certainly use one of these nifty Brother label makers to
      organize our files, office supplies and everything else that is still sitting on the floor
      in boxes......HELP! ❤️

      Precious! That is your tree is precious.

      How would i use the label maker? Let me count the ways,: Labels ~ for bottles I put the herbs I dry in ~ canning jars, kitchen shelves ~ so the dishes and groceries get put in the right place ~ book shelves, to post scriptures on mirrors and various other places, to keep track of which power cord goes to what, to make plant markers, labeling the flip switches in the breaker box and pipes and valves, various crafts and goodness knows what else!

The first thought that comes to my mind is in the craft room. I have tons of crafting supplies for so many mediums it would take up your page to list and guess what they need labeling! I am reorganizing after the hurricane damage and repair so it would especially be useful now! That was just the first thought I have many more ideas! Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Valentines Day to you and Leo!
