We had a pancake eating,
God worshipping,
kilt wearing (my parents are the coolest),
soup preparing,
grown-up conversing,
soccer ball kicking,
toddler tickling,
memory book making,
new clothes shopping,
and rainbow viewing day.
Hope your Sunday was just as nice!
I love Valentine’s Day. It might possibly be because it’s a holiday with two of my favorite colors, pink and red.
We, rather I, made these Valentine’s Day cards to pass out to family and friends.
I figure I’ll do things my way before my boys start insisting on buying Spiderman or Lightning McQueen ones. Ugh.
We went outside and took some pictures really quickly. I didn’t even bother brushing their hair or wiping off their messy faces, although I did have them put on some cute sweaters. Then I edited them with Rad Lab and Picmonkey.
I purchased some red chocolate lips from Oriental Trading and plan on attaching them over the boys’ mouths before we pass them out.
Nothing says love like chocolate. 😉
I am not a good DIYer. I have a severe worry of messing up a project and therefore wasting the money I spent on supplies.
When I saw Andrea’s post on this beaded necklace, I was inspired to try.
I went to my local craft store and bought the only beads they had. Next time I think I’ll try to buy some prettier beads online.
I am incredibly happy with how these turned out and they weren’t difficult AT ALL.
And they made perfect gifts to give away for Christmas.
I also bought a ton of these flowers from Pick Your Plum (best craft site ever!) and super glued them to some earring posts. These were perfect gifts for my son’s preschool teachers.
So the moral of the story is…don’t let your fear or perfectionism hold you back from trying because you might just end up with something really pretty. 🙂
