Some Valentine's Love

My mom and I with our red on. It was wear red Friday for Breast Cancer Awareness. My mom looks like she could be a sister! She's so cute!

These are my kids' Valentine's boxes for school. I had envelope boxes from work, I thought would be the perfect size. I cut holes in the tops of them and then found gift bags that were color appropriate.
The handle of the gift bags worked really well. I hot glued them on and the kids loved to help and watch the transformation.

This project was so simple! I used cardboard from an old picture frame, Ribbon and scrapbook paper, and one of my favorite pictures of my sweet kiddos.
......Not too bad for a last minute craft!?!
This is in my hutch that I have dressed up for Valentine's Day. The hearts are ones that I had cut out and held on to. I glued them on a piece of scrapbook paper and put it in a frame I had and set it on a plate stand and turned out to be cuteness. I think. That is my veil that I wore in my wedding 10 years ago and the pillow behind it.

Love "dressing" up the place.

Hello again.....

I have been on a bit of a blog hiatus. However, I am back. There's not been a lot of crafting lately. But, that is about to change. I am feeling the itch. Here's what I am needing to do:

1. Take all of the winter decorations down once spring is here.
2. Make a wreath or door hanger for the front door of some sort.
3. Find a coffee table or something for the living room.
4. Find a book shelf or more storage for the kids' toys.
5. Get to making more crafts to get ready to give away or sell.

I am in the process of a new knitting project for my mom and some other surprises for her.

That's a good list but a good place to start.
