I'm not sure why I love hearts and Valentines Day so much.
I guess I should clarify that last statement, I love Valentine Decorations.
As I was putting my Christmas Decor away with glee my eye was caught on the
bright pink tote I keep everything Valentine....
A nice pink subtle reminder of the pinky goodness inside! It prompted me to get going with my BE MINE letters I'm doing a class on down at Paper Cottage,
I've just been stumped for doo dads to put on them.
The most brilliant thought crossed my mind as I was talking to my sister Candace who is the yin to my yang and it occurred to me that my Dr. Pepper can I was guzzling was the perfect matching shade!
Seriously could it be any more perfect to make hearts out of?
Something I love becoming a decoration for a LOVE holiday????
All I can say is I LOVE IT! And that's that.:)
So yes, with the holidays over I can say loudly "Phewwwwww".
It seems silly that a good 4 months of the year is dedicated to all things Santa and Snow.
I do like making baby Jesus' though.
Maybe it's that I have ADD, but I like to mix it up and work on lots of colorful things.
Here are a few of my projects I've been working on:
Here are my winter letters.
There is not much wintery paper out there and
I don't like being reminded of winter blues....so I did something bright!
I love the little snowman and his scarf!
I'm sure my nephew thought I'd forgotten his birthday....I almost did...or should I say it
got kicked to the back burner.....
But I finally got it done and my Hubby was even envious!
I even found time to make a ridiculously over sized P for my sister Candace.
She told me she wanted a pretty monogram but I obviously misinterpreted 12 x 12 inches to be
2 feet by 3 feet. I never really liked math....
I have to say, that if you asked me where I'd be a year ago, I never thought I'd be here.
I never thought I'd be running my own little business
covered in saw dust.:)
(My sister says this in my unibomber picture)
I try sometimes to see the blessing that even though it stank my husband lost his job,
something I'd always wanted to do, came like a phoenix from the ashes,
(yes, I've been watching too much Harry Potter!)
but I'm here, and I survived this last year and most of all I have all of you to thank!
So THANK YOU to you all!
Thanks for supporting me, for being my friend and for making me laugh
through it all!
