A fun way to get in the spirit of things is a Valentine manicure! A dear friend of mine sent me three shades of pink nail polish and I applied a couple of coats last night of the yummiest raspberry color to my nails, very much like the top color sample below...so girly girl. Sephora has a variety of brands and colors, and YouTube has lots of tutorials on nail art. Little girls and teens would get a kick out of the water marble technique!

doudouscrap  is offering an adorable free digi stamp. Wouldn't this be cute on a note tucked into a Valentine lunchbag?

  6. Mmmm - love the sealing wax! I have some but they don't work well - I wonder if brands make a difference. Lots of fun ideas here - and right on the tails of my FIRST visit ever to a Hobby Lobby yesterday - just opened up in town. My jaw is still dropped to the floor in amazement and I'm a mess of irritability because there are just too many things I want to make and not enough time - or money - to make them!!!

    Glad you're back in gear with blogger!

    Joy!

  7. Shawn! This is such a great idea for your blog! I LOVE Patty's tutorial on sealing wax! I am finally up and running again! I have been out of pocket for 6 weeks due to a slab leak. Of course insurance will not pay a thing so it was all on us! I now have 2 new bathrooms and new carpet throughout my home! It took me 3 days to just put all my stuff back into my home. Thank you so much for your comment on my calendar!! It was greatly appreciated.
    xoxo Ginger
