Weekend and Valentine's Day Stuff

So, how was everyone's weekend?  Hubby and I had a wonderful weekend.  Hubby and I took a trip for Valentine's Day.  We went to our favorite little cabin in Eureka Springs, AR.


I had planned on sharing a few pics with you but in my laziness, I used my iphone to take pictures and then it crashed on the way home.  It's up and running again, but I lost my pictures.  ugh!  Oh well!  We had a wonderful weekend anyway.  Thanks to my aunt and mom for keeping an eye on the kiddos.

So, because of work, illness and preparing for this trip, I am waaaay behind in the Valentine's decor department.  I am reusing my Framed Love Note from last year.


E has to bring a decorated box for her Valentine party tomorrow.  So, I bought some scrapbook paper, a heart shaped paper mache box and got out my modge podge.  Okay, so technically I should have let her make it, but I couldn't help myself.  So, I cut and modge podged the paper and she will get to add stickers if she likes.  Wanna see?


Don't ya love the big ole crooked opening I cut for her Valentine cards to go in?  And the way I didn't get the air bubbles out on top of the box so it's all wrinkledy and stuff?  Nice, right?  Have I mentioned that I'm not a perfectionist?  Oh well!  Maybe her sticker placement will distract from my sloppiness. 

Gotta go make a big ole batch of Oreo Truffles for L's teacher for Valentine's Day.  Have a great Monday!

  3. Oh no. You're crafty and I'm not. I bet we can't be friends. I hate that. Sweet little Amy sent me over here and now it's all for nothing. I think her vday box is perfect--just so you know!
