You are perfect to me

Valentines is just a hop skip away. Sadly I am not running away with the hubby this weekend. I have a final I have to study for all weekend long sooo we are moving our weekend to next. :(

That is ok tho it is just a day right? Right. We can celebrate next weekend.

Sharing with you today the last bit of my valentines decor.

I wanted to do more but I just kind of fizzled out. School has been taking a lot out of me lately. Almost done though.

Remember when I said I actually FINISHED a page when I went on a crop super bowl Sunday...Well here that page is.
It is me and my mama. I just really love this pic. I used Lillybee design paper. I have never used it and I really liked the collection.

This week has been filled with happy mail. I got the Feb AMM kit on Thursday and dug right in. I already finished two projects.
The quote is from Coco Chanel and it says "woman should be 2 things classy and fabulous." I thought it was fitting for this little plaque.

Page of my hubby. Simple. Love that man.

I have lots and lots more to make. I also have a project due for school. Making some foam teeth. Oh joy! LOL! SO not feeling it. Then I have a final to study for and we have a Valentines get together going on at the house today. Time to shut this computer down and get crackin!

Have a wonderful weekend!

She's just a girl who says that I am the one

I had a lovely 4 day weekend. I really needed it. Although I didn't get my girl cave cleaned. That REALLY REALLY needs to happen. I keep telling myself to get rid of more paper. Hi my name is Marie and I am a paper hoarder. Seriously a mess. I mean I don't go in there very often (to cold right now) so I don't understand why it is so messy. Couldn't be that I never put things in their place or that when I look for something I just throw stuff around. Nah couldn't be that.

I looked around the net for beautiful lil crafty spaces to replace my old ugly one. This one I could so live with.


Cute.Sweet.Someday.

This weekend I did a bit of Valentines day crafting. I finally got my mantel all set up. I have to tweak here, step back, tweak there. It is done tho, I think.

Pete pots.


cost .15

Heart doily garland, pom pom napkin garland, felt heart garland.

The garlands cost me less then .50 to make.

Hurricane with wood grain, doily and felt hearts tied with twine. Inspiration came from Jenny Doh and Veronica Lopez.


Cost 2.05

I sat and picked out all the white hearts to fill my 2.00 milk glass candy dish.


Lastly picked some berry (?) sprigs from outside to fill my 2.00 milk glass vase. (Goodwill find)


I decided to do red and white for the mantel. I don't know why, just go with it.
:)


My decorations came in under 10.00 for the whole shebang. Of course the glass wares (which cost me the most) I can re-use elsewhere and will definitely get my money out of them.

The rest of my valentines day decorations to come soon and a tutorial on how to make the napkin flowers. :)

In other news hubby's birthday is Thursday. We are having a family get together and I think I am going to try my hand at this recipe.

I will let you know how it turns out.
