I love book stacks. I have them all over the house. Sure, it pains me to rip apart perfectly good books, but the end result is so worth it. I'm not making much for Valentine's Day this year since I have a ton of decorations from previous years and I've simply run out of room. Still, I wanted to make something.

C'mon, how cute is this sno {sic} balls sign?! You can't see but it also says $1.00 underneath the text. I printed it out and just used Mod Podge to add it to this "crate" I had spruced up last year.
