Valentine Fun


The kids and I made these cuties for their teachers. I got the popcorn containers from Target for a dollar and filled them with white chocolate popcorn. Put some ribbon and a tag on it and voila cute tasty teacher gift.
Here’s a picture of Madelin's hair for her Valentines Party...

Big Magnet Clips


I am for sure making some of these. I think these would make darling gifts they would be quick and easy to whip up when you need something fast. I love this blog by the way, because they use supplies from my favorite store Hobby Lobby!

HOW COOL...


I think this is such a creative valentine. I love it!

I Heart This

This was really simple. I took this wood frame...

Painted it with cream acrylic paint, roughed it up and stained it. I like to use an old sock to lightly wipe on the stain instead of painting it on with a brush and wiping it off. The sock helps to control the application. Of course I don't have any pictures of this...I will get better at this craft blogging.

The next step is to cut out a piece cardboard or cardstock, I used a cereal box. Then wrap it in burlap using hot glue. I bought my burlap at Hobby Lobby.


Put the burlap inside the frame. I used tape to keep it in place, I'm sloppy like that.
Then I hot glued three hearts out of buttons. I was going to fill in the center, but I didn't have enough buttons. I think it turned out cute and gave me that country look I love so much!
