There has been some "craftiness" going on around here.
Starting with handmade Valentine's.
I didn't intend to make any this year.
I purchased a few store bought cards, addressed them, sent them out & thought I was DONE.
THEN something came over me ~ not sure what?? ~ and out came the crafting supplies & a few handmade ones were "born."
These were all created using old, old, old supplies so I hope no one wants to re-create them!
It would probably be impossible, at the very least, frustrating to find the supplies.
I live in a town that hand stamps Valentine's with a special message each year which is why I always try to mail a few out.
I've even thought of sending Valentine's instead of Christmas cards (because of the special stamping) but so far, I haven't carried out that thought....
Creating the Valentine's ignited some spark in me because the next thing I knew, a banner was being crafted.
Not the best, most professionally made banner, but nonetheless, a banner!!
I thought it would dress up the mirror which was looking a little bare after removing the Christmas decorations.
Finally, after hanging the banner, the idea popped in my head to thread some alphabet beads on wire & stick them to the pot at the bottom right of above photo.
Where did that come from?
Voila! Now I'm truly done.
That's more decorating for this holiday then I usually do!
I wish I would have gotten in gear sooner. There's only one week to go then I guess even this little bit will all have to come down too. :(
Anyone else made anything for Valentine's? Sent any cards?? or is this an activity now mostly for school-age kids???
Love those beautiful cards!!! You are so talented and thoughtful. The banner is so cute - I hope I can get up there in time to see it before it comes down. I don't do anything for V-Day, so it's fun to see what you have done. Nice job as always!

These are lovely, Kathleen. I send cards and give Valentine's Day gifts to some people, but nothing as elaborate as this. Gorgeous!

You are just so creative. I have ideas but they never turn out the way I picture them. LOL! Your LOVE wreath is so pretty.Spring is getting closer but I think February is going to be the worst month so far around here. Happy Valentines.
