A banner, wreath and window....VD LOVE

The kids love to craft (so does momma) so for school this week we made a VD Banner using our shapes as the focal point.  Cutting out triangles, circles, gluing and putting the pieces together like a puzzle...


Printed off some hearts on the computer


Cut our triangles from the burlap


Molly helping



Sorting by color


Laid out our banner once cut



Clips from Ikea




Assemble the banner



Cute craft for the kids to do....


Here are a few other things I worked on this week in preparation for Valentines Day!


Using an old door panel, removed glass and made a little LOVE Banner strung with Tule



My version of the Coffee Filter Wreath


Added a little winter love to it with a Felt Christmas Ornament in the middle.

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
