some more pretties

There aren't too many holidays I don't LOVE, and Valentines is no exception. I was laid up the last couple weeks with some back problems. Boredom got the better of me and I started making some Valentines cards. I stumbled upon a blog that was taking donations of these cards to be sent to childrens hospitals so I jumped right aboard. My daughters also helped by writing all the messages inside. This has become a new tradition we will participate in from now on. It made my heart so happy to make these for such a good cause!

This is a cute birthday bag I made using Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer line. I love this paper! I love that is also can be used for so many other things besides just summer!

This was a Halloween tray i made for some decoration around my home. I love Halloween and was inspired when I found the wooden tray at the dollar store! I painted is black and away I went. I will love displaying this year after year.

Here are some mixed media canvases I made. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I started them, but loved watching them evolve. These were so much fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by!
