February 2019 Will Soon Be Here!

When it comes to seasonal decorating, I pull out the bins and see what I have and right now my Valentine Decor is pink or red, white and a little burlap accents.  
 I made a red felt/burlap heart banner for the mantel a couple of years ago

I have a few items from Dollar Tree.

Red and white felt "Happy Valentine" Banner I made last year.

 Next step is to go check in with a couple of amazing You-Tube crafters that I follow, to see what the tend is for this years season.  

Buffalo check and Burlap are part of every DYI project I see for Valentine Farmhouse Decor this year.

 I'm definitely going to be including some black and white check hearts into my February decor.

I found the black and white checked material at my local fabric store, I picked up 2 yard.

Stay tune to see what DYI's I come up with this year.

Valentine's Day Card Making

Hi Friends,

This project is always one of my favorite craft to do in February.  

When my girls were elementary school age, they loved getting out the construction paper, glitter, dollies, and stickers to make valentines for their classmates.

This year I thought it would be fun for the grand kids to make their own valentine cards for school.

For the past few weekends, I have gotten out the construction paper, glitter glue, stickers and scissor, for the grand kids to make their valentines this year for their classmates.

This is their final product minus the suckers that they will add

.  The oldest grandson wrote the poem, "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Honey is Sweet and so are you," with colored gel pens. 

 The second oldest grandson wanted to use gel pens and stickers to decorate his cards.  

And the youngest grandson which is 5, I cut out hearts, let him write his name and put sticker on them.

I had thought ahead and bought 2 bags of heart shape suckers from the dollar tree, but you guessed it I
didn't have enough so I went through the candy stash and found some smarties to put in the middle of the heart shape card to make it look like a butterfly.  60 cards in all were sent to school with the grandson on Valentine's Day morning.

Thank you for stopping by,
