Valentines Day

Now you all (I'm trying to break the "Ya'll" habit) know that I LOVE Valentines Day! I better since it's my anniversary too. (more on that later) Here are a few of the V-day projects I've been working on.
For starters, I totally stole this from my blog friend Annie. (I went to school with her hubby, Devin, but I only know her through the blogosphere) Annie either has the cutest ideas on the planet or she steals her ideas from someone that has the cutest ideas on the planet. Either way, I like copying her. Obviously, since I'm talking about her, this is one that I got from Annie. I made these for the girls' teachers and since I like them so well, I think I'll make one for myself too. Here's how you do it:

Start with a plain ole' styrofoam wreathThen cut a bunch of strips of valentine material. Choices are slim here and I could only handle so much of the fabric department today (Celeste, someone assured me today that not all fabric counter ladies are mean! Apparently we're just shopping at all the wrong places! HA!)Then hot glue the strips to the wreath as you wrap them around. Tie a ribbon on it.Now hot glue a bunch of vintage Valentines card onto it. Annie was even nice enough to email me the ones that she used. So if anyone wants them, let me know and I'll email them to you.
AND WALLAH:

My other project for the night was Shelby's Valentines bucket. No, cereal boxes are not good enough for her so we had to go all out lol. Here's the finished product:Morgan will be making hers in class. Speaking of class and Valentines Day. How in the heck did my little baby boy ever get big enough to fill out his own cards for his class? He's getting so big, but he's so much fun!
