Valentines Quilt... Only a few days late ;)

Here is my most Favorite quilt so far... I actually had this done in plenty of time to get it up for Valentines Day but the quilter was quite backed up and it took her about a month to quilt it...Uggg So I hurried & binded it just in enough time to put it away for next year... Bummer!! My most favorite part of this quilt is my Hubby's & My initials carved on the tree ;)

Wooden Love sign!

There's this great little wood shop in West Haven, Ut called Wood Creations! I have always loved to do wood crafts so when I heard about this place I was all over it ;) I used Cosmo Cricket Scrapbook Paper and I LOVE how it turned out!

Matchbook Candy Holders

Here are some super easy Matchbook Ghirardelli Chocolate holders I made for Valentines Day using Stampin Up! stamps.

I Dig You!

I am going to repost a couple Valentines Ideas from years past...

I found these fun little shovels at Michaels Crafts for .59 cents each. I thought that was a great deal. So Tia and I will be making these for her friends for Valentines Day. As you can see in the top picture the shovels say "I Dig You". I used the "Happy Heart Day" set from Stampin Up!

Rosette Felt Flower Heart

 Felt Rosette Flower Heart

 Here is my sad attempt of a tutorial for my Flower Rosette Heart... First I cut out 144 circles that were approx 2.5 inches in size. Then I made 24 Rosette flowers by folding 4 felt circles in half then add a dab of glue, then glue them to a flat circle. Then fold 1 more circle in half then half again & glue it strait side up in the center. Clear as mud'? I couldn't get a clear pic of these steps as my Camera doesn't seem to want to take any close up pics??? Next I cut a big heart out of a piece of cardboard & covered the edges with a long strip of felt. Then glued the Rosettes to the heart & added a Ribbon Hanger. That's it! I LOVE how this turned out!!

Supplies Needed

1/2 Yard Red Felt (I got mine from Joanns)

Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

1 Piece of Cardboard

Approx price $3.00

Rosette Flowers

I have seen these Flower Rosette Balls all over the Internet... So I'm not sure who to give the credit for this ingenious idea. I just love how these turned out. I decided to do them a little different & glue together the felt rosettes first, then glue them to the Styrofoam balls. They look like a big flower instead of perfect balls.. They are so pretty in person..

Hugs & Kisses

Yeah I finally finished something ;) I have no decorations for any Holiday besides Christmas and a few Halloween so I decided I should fix that little problem. I Love my new Hugs & Kisses Sign. I got my inspiration from this site ontheavenuelogan. I love all their wood crafts. They sell all kinds of Home Decor and Craft Kits too.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Yummy! I need any excuse to make chocolate dipped pretzels!!

Sweetheart Dance

My Daughter Decorated This John Deere Tractor to ask her Boyfriend to the Sweetheart Dance at school. She filled it with Cinnamon Buns, M&M's & Heart Suckers. The card reads.. "Id like to haul ur Buns to the Sweetheart Dance"

Elephant Treat Cover

To make this fun Treat cover I cut a piece of cardstock 4 inches x 12 inches long and scored at 7, 71/2 and 8. Then folded over top & cut with Scalloped Scissors. I used Stampin Up! Happy Heart Day Stamp Set and put M&M's in a little Bag inside. (Repost from last year)

The Best Valentines Day Ever!!

The Best Valentines Day Gift ever! Ted went to Beadles and made me this BEAUTIFUL bracelet and earring set all by himself! He said when he went in to the bead store that there was about a dozen women in there and they all said that their Husbands would never do anything like that for them. So He's definitely a keeper (which I already knew). He was so proud of himself and even had his receipt of $9.95. He said he came up with this idea all on his own. He tried to get his Physical Therapist to help him come up with something. He totally made my day!

Yummy Cookies! (Recipe Below)

Candy Bouquet for Ted

I gathered some supplies and since Ted is trying to GAIN weight.. I opted to add some calories to his 4000 calories per day plan. This is what I came up with.. A Candy Bouquet. I also made him his favorite Ginger Snap Cookies and was even able to hide all the evidence of fresh baked cookies before he arrived home.. Ted loved his gift I made him and thought it was pretty inventive.

Conversation Hearts...

I decided I wanted to put a whole bunch of little wooden Hearts in a jar and make them look like Conversation Hearts. Well when I told Ted of my ideas and showed him the size I needed he wasn't to sure about having to cut out 30 small Hearts....So this is what I ended up with... I added some candy hearts so the jar didn't look so empty.
