My latest post is live on Balloon Time and it’s all about Valentine’s Day! I’ve been totally smitten with mini heart balloons this year — they’re absolutely adorable. I wanted to turn them into tiny surprise love messages for Valentine’s Day: fill each little balloon with a sweet note, then let the recipient pop the balloon to reveal the message inside. It’s a playful, charming way to share affection and excitement.

A few sourcing notes: I found the sparkly boxes locally at Urbanic — they’re perfect for presenting a cluster of mini message balloons. I also bought glitter letters and a cute arrow there to add playful accents. For wardrobe details, my sequin pants are from Nordstrom. The little heart-shaped balloons used in this project are widely available online and in craft stores.
