Happy Valentine's Day!

I love holidays. Any reason to have a small party, I am so there. Valentine's Day is no exception. Heck, even Groundhog Day is a party in our home.

These are some of the items I made this year.

We eat these little butter cookies during the Christmas Season. I love them! Though the little round ones with raisins in them are not my favorite. For some reason, they remind my of cookies with flies in them. Now you might be saying "Wow! how many cookies have you eaten in your life that have had flies in them?" and I would answer "none." Therefore I have no idea why that thought comes to mind, I just know it does. Of course, I still eat them.

Anyway, I keep the tins for craft projects. I keep everything for a craft project. So I primed it (yep, with my very legal primer) and painted it. Then I just used a variety of scrap papers I had and decoupaged the tin. Filled it up with little gifts and gave it to the kid for his valentine gift.

The XOXO's were bought at Michael's for about $3.00 for all of them. I just used more scraps and decoupage, and they were done in a jiffy.

The little love banner was just cut out with the remaining paper and I tacked it up by the fireplace.

All super easy and took only about a day to create.

Today we have enjoyed some heart shaped cinnamon rolls. I have received flowers, a lovely heart shaped fluffy pillow and a beautiful cow creamer made by Emma Bridgewater, my newest collectible.

So hopefully you are enjoying the day of love as well!
