Valentine Crafts - EZ and Cheap!


My Molly is sick with a nasty cold, so School has been quick this week so far with Zachary. Amazing what you can get done in an hour when its just 1 child learning...lol 

Regardless.....
Like so many bloggers out there, I have started making my VD crafts/decor for the house. I will not be showcasing them in our home until the Monday after Superbowl, since we usually have a SB party and the VD stuff will be in the way of all the Football decor...lol....
Most of what I am about to show you cost me $ 1.00 or less! With things I had around the house or had to go to the dollar tree and get 1 thing...

Anyway, here are some things that I have been working on that I think you will enjoy! 


This wreath is made with the flower cut outs that I punched with my Stampin' Up flower punch. I used a Styrofoam wreath from Dollar Tree and hot glued them all on. Just like the one in my post HERE...except using the Pink.  I then glued a cherub (foam) that I had in my bin of VD decor from last year. I love it. I will probably put it in the girls's room!   COST $ 1.00


For this shaggy heart wreath, I bent a coat hanger, hubby trimmed a few pieces off of it for me also. I then ripped material (a scrap I had in my stash) into small strips and tied them on. Took all of 30 mins. The material is pale pink with brown branches and birds on it. Very cute and I will probably use it all year round in the girls' bedroom. COST  Zero


Cute tag paper hearts. Cut strips of paper, fold in half, use a pencil to roll each end and glue...I made a ton of these for garland, scattering and putting into apothecary jars....CUTE and FREE!  Kids loved to help on this one!


Frame - $ 1.00 Tree store. I kept the silver on the frame, goes good with some other black frames I will be using.  I took felt, cut out flower shapes, then folded them and hot glued to a felt heart I had cut out. Once I "filled in the heart"  Then I let dry, and cut around it and used my glue dots to stick it to the frame so I can use the frame again....Easy  COST: $ 1.00

I am working on about 20 projects right now so I can't wait to show you more.

Peace to you!

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
