Valentine's Jar

This week has been full of projects for me. I'm currently trying to finish up some new products to put up for sale, but due to crazy kiddos, I've not been able to finish them. I also have Little Man's 4th birthday tomorrow, so I've been preparing for that. I've had valentine's on my mind quite a bit lately, especially since we're celebrating early this year due to my husband's school schedule. I wanted to do something that he would appreciate and that wouldn't cost much or at all. I came up with this jar. It's just a pasta sauce jar cleaned up with ribbon hot glued to the glass and paper and ribbon mod podged to the lid. I then typed and printed out 50 reasons or things I love about my husband. As you can see, some of the things are goofy. I then folded them and added them to the jar. I plan on putting my husband's favorite treat in the bottom of the jar to take up more space and for a bonus. I also added a label- sorry no pictures right now. It's just a paper that says Reasons I Love You! Happy Valentine's Day! I hope that this is helpful to someone that needs a quick and easy idea!

Projects and designs

I am currently in the process of creating some new items. I've been busy trying to come up with fun new products and at the same time trying to get some projects that I've been wanting to do created. I have a wonderful husband who has been helping me to fulfill the desires of my heart. He's been working hard to create some extra shelving in Miss Ellie's room. All I can say is Thank you hubby. I had a chance to do one of my new designs yesterday. It still needs some work, but I love this- good thing I was making it for Miss Ellie specifically. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Where has the time gone?

I realized today that it's been some time since my last post. I've been keeping busy lately preparing for my husband's return to school. Yep that's right my 27 year old husband is going back to school to finally get the degree that he's been wanting- he finally found the exact program that will work for him. I've been a little down about is since it means that I will no longer have easy access to the car. Plus I will see him less, and I mean a lot less. In order to go to school he has to transfer to another branch about an hour from us. So that means no more lunches together or dinners most nights either. I just hope that the next year and a half go by quickly. So now that you know how my life has gotten a little bit crazier maybe you'll understand why I haven't had the urge to craft. I'm going to all my favorite craft stores tomorrow and even new store I've wanted to check out for a while. I hope to find everything I'm looking for at great prices. Wish me luck since hubby starts school tonight and will be at class ALL weekend long!

Cool hair blog

So today I visited one of my favorite sites UCREATE and she had posted about the coolest blog. It's called the story of a princess and her hair. I love it. I can't wait till Miss Ellie has enough hair to do these fun hair styles. Right now they are doing a give away for their 1 millionth viewer. I love giveaways so I just had to post about it, plus the site really is fabulous. I love that she does step by step instructions on how to do these cool styles. I know some moms in my family that will love this site!
