Handmade and Homemade Valentine Goodness
One of my favorite parts of this past week was hand making my Valentine's cards for my mom, sister, and my Tim. hehe ... I was so giddy making these little things and I believe they were a pretty big hit!!! And though I'll save the homemade goodness I whipped up for Valentine's day for another entry ... that part was a very close second place!!!
Before I share the actual cards, I put them all in brown paper packages because I figured I send way to many handmade packages out for complete strangers ... I need to do it more often for the people I love. Now .. here are the cards.
{my big sister's "ate's" card}
{my mom's card}
*The picture of the shadow heart is really of my mom and I!! It's one of my favorites!!
{my tim's card}
*That's the heart shaped chicken nugget we really had one day .. hehe
All three cards were made with lots and lots of love...
I had such a great time making them .. and I have a totally new love for cardboard and scrapbook paper, I can't wait to make more cards. Lastly I added a little something something inside Tim's package ... and I printed it from The Small Object's freebies. They are tooo awesome for words.
Me and Tim thumb wrestled on our first Valentine's date together .. I thought this would be cute for our third.
These are a few of my favorite things
"brown paper packages, tied up in string"
One of the most exciting things for me this season
has got to be the gift giving and making.
I know it's a little soon in posting with Christmas still a few hours away, but most of these presents have been opened and received already so I believe it's safe to share. I wanted the kids and some of the girls to open their handmade presents all together at church so I could see how they look, fit, and also see their reactions at the same time. Oh what fun it is to wrap and give out some handmade!!!
After the kids .. it was my bunsoys who were next.
My other best friend opened the wrong present
.. lol .. but she's still a cutie!
I've still got a little more handmade goodness to spread around
.. but what great fun this has been!
Happy Headbands in demand
I made this little thing in my spare time before a show, turns out lots of people want one. One of my girlfriends wore it to work {Madewell} and a handful of her customers asked where she got it. Hope was a sweetheart and gave each person who asked, my shop and email so they've been in demand ever since.
Happy headbands to you!
