gift giving

There are a lot of newborns in our neighborhood this month. I thought it appropriate to congratulate the mothers with mini cupcakes! The frosting is home made chocolate ganache! Yum!!

valentine packaging kits

Making kits for packaging valentines. :)

lace and doillies table setting

What a fun time I had setting and photographing this Valentines table spread. I'm noticing that recently I have been a little obsessed with lace and doilies. :)I made origami boxes out of grocery bags for the favors on each plate and hand cut/hole punched the larger doilies under each place setting. It turned out great, in fact I love it so much we eat at the bar now so as not to ruin all the "prettyness".

paper crafts

I am having a lot of fun with paper and stamps getting ready for Valentines!




Below is the Valentine love garland I have hanging in my entry. It is made with my handmade tags and store bought doilies.

I Can't wait to tell you what I'm up to...

...they're made with these materials and are super pretty!

Wrapping things up

I have been wrapping up a storm these past few days and I just wanted to share some of my favorite ones.
