Valentine's Day Photos

 I snapped these cute shots of the boys on Valentine's Day. I hope everyone had a special day like we did! I love that the background is the white newly fallen snow!

52 things I LOVE about you!

 Here is something I made for Scott this year for Valentine's day. He's loves sappy, sentimental things and this got him good! As he read he had tears in his eyes! Love it! Thanks to Pinterest for another wonderful idea!! Here is the tutorial.

 I came up with many more than the 52, so that was the hard part taking some out. I used all pink and red paper with 8 different fonts and added some hearts, bling, cupid and other Valentine clip art. Here is just a taste of some of the reasons why he is truly THE BEST!

I made most serious but also added in some funny ones. He really is just the best kind of guy! He is always working so hard to help serve and protect me and the boys. I love you Scott!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Felt Conversation Hearts

 I finally completed these cute felt conversation hearts for Valentine's day. I cut them all out last year, and finished them up last night! Can you say procrastination? :) A good friend of mine gave me the idea at first and I also found a easy tutorial here. I love how she used the blanket stitch. I added saying on most of them, but it was just too hard for me. I don't have the patience for small details. But, I still think they turned out nice. If my boys think they're cute, then I've done a good job!!

I placed them all in a basket with some white tulle underneath. So cute and fun!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Valentine's Banner

 I finally completed one of my Valentine's crafts! YIPPY! I went through my extra fabric and collected all the pink and red ones I could find. I also went to Joann's to buy the cute pom-pom's (for the top of the banner). I started on Wednesday but my sewing machines were giving me problems. I ran one of them in to get a quick tune-up and then headed home to finish sewing my banner. My cute friend, Alacey, is like the banner queen. Seriously! She has a banner for her mantel for every holiday!

 After measuring my banner, and then deciding how large I wanted the triangles, I them started cutting the cute material with a cream backing. (That was extra material I had when I made tunic's for Gavin's Star Wars birthday party last year!)

 I sewed the pieces together...

 added embellishments...and sewed the white pom-pom's on.

 Cute, easy and fun. I did make it waaaay too long. (I even measured! UGH!)But I love it. At V and Co. they have a great tutorial! She is super talented!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

Happy Valentine"s Day!!

 

Happy, happy Valentine's Day...Love the Thompson's!!

Heart Attack

Tonight for FHE we did a lot of fun stuff! First, we went out to an extra special dinner at A&W where their large cheese burger's were on sale for .84 cents! RIght in my budget! Next we went to 31 Flavors and ate some yummy ice cream. I had two free single scoops and then two coupons for a BOGO. So, we ordered 6 single scoop for $4.00 bucks. Again, right in my budget! On the drive home we began talking about the FHE we were going to do when we arrived home. Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I found this adorbale idea

It was a suoer fun evening with me

and my boys!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

Felt Heart Wreath

 During the Super Bowl game I crafted a little...It was fun! It reminded me of last year's game where we had lots of my girlfriends over and we were all crafting away! (MISS YOU LADIES!!!) I found this cute idea here. I need to put a frame around it. But it turned out cute and I am happy with it!

A few days ago the boys helped me make this: Cute, but not as could as it could be. Note to self: DON'T use a hot glue gun when working with buttons...And maybe don't let the kids work on your craft. Give them their own buttons to play with! I did put this craft in a frame. I found this idea here.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

"Love" Craft

 Here is a craft I made on Friday...Isn't it adorable?! I saw something simular to it on a friends blog, but changed it up a bit and came up with this!

 I went through my box of scrap wood and found all these pieces, which made starting this craft a whole lot ewasier! I sanded the wood, painted a bright red, modge podged some beautiful scrapbook paper, sanded it all again, added some vinyl lettering (you could paint the letters or use stencils), and some ribbon to tie around each block.

Super easy, super cute and a nice addition to my small stash of Valentine decor.
