52 Reasons I Adore My Daughter


  Valentines Day has once again come and gone.  We were fairly low key about it around our house hold and only played into the hype for the little one's sake. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day with big plans? Or would you rather save the romance for anniversaries and other such occasions, like we do?
  This year I crafted two little books. The end result had a big impact and my efforts were rewarded with hugs and kisses(My favorite!)

  I decided to share my daughter's. I hid it in her lunch box so she could be surprised at school.(How fun! I was excited for her lol)




All of my supplies were from the Dollar Store which included:

*1 deck of playing cards
*1 package of binder rings
*1 single hole punch
*1 scrap booking glue stick
*Various embellishments of your choice 
*card stock as  backgrounds. Or construction paper. Or brown paper bags (That is what I used for the mister's book).
*A black Gel pen or Scrap booking pen, also from the Dollar Store.
*Stamps for the numbers. If you are as lucky as I was, they will also be at your local Dollar Store (Insert happy dance, here).
*Sandpaper to lightly sand down the backs of each card for a more distressed look ( I also did this to the Mister's).
Ta-Da! Be very proud of yourself and tuck it away as a nice little keepsake to look back on. 

Happy Crafting!

A Post Xmas Christmas Post

DIY Gifts...Love 'em or Hate 'em ?
 This Xmas season I really embraced the DIY world and  fell privy to the abundance of home-made gift ideas that are spinning around the web.  I wanted  to share a pic with you(post Xmas) to inspire you for next year or upcoming events.  It saved us a ton of money, and we were able to spread the love with adorable home made gifts!  Did you follow this DIY trend, also? 
Post a comment, we would love to hear from you!  Thanks for stopping by! :)  


Contents: Chocolates, Green tea, Chai Tea, Earl Grey (6 wrapped in twine), Hot Chocolate
I used what was in our cupboards at the time. We gave this to our daughter's crossing guard :)
