I HEART my living room

Just stopping by sharing my Valentines Day decorations I put up in the living room. I just love after christmas sales. I got that 6 1/2 ft white tree for 17$ at Wal-mart. :) The glittered 3d heart ornaments were 1/2 off at the 1$ store. How cool is that!! Notice the re-purposed paper chains, from here? All the rest are hand made. The heart cookies were made from salt dough. I'll have to give a tutorial on those sometime! They're great! Don't you love the pink red and white candy corns in the jar on the mantle? :) Hope you have a great weekend! We are spending our weekend fixing up a bunch of unfinished home improvement projects. Yippee!

Mad about Mad Baker

I just love these heart shaped macaroons and decorated cookies by the blogger Mad Baker. They're just so yummy looking and festive!

Muffin breakfast

I baked blueberry muffins today for breakfast! YUM! It made breakfast a real treat this morning because I almost never cook breakfast on weekdays any more. Mostly because lately a certain someone is away working hard being on the front page of Tuesdays paper! When my hubby isn't here for breakfast I usually opt for cold cereal (something he greatly dislikes). But today I really wanted blueberry muffins! The bonus was Trent left late today and was able to have some!

Who doesn't love warm steamy muffins! And wrapped in LOVE'ly cupcake papers!

vanity

I couldn't help taking a few self portraits (via my crappy web cam) and playing around with the color a bit to get a neat look. What do you think? I'm a dork I know! :)

Birthday package for my best friend

Liberty here is the party I would throw you if I were there in CO with you!! (click image for source)

I miss you and love you a ton! I couldn't ask for a better best friend! "Hppy brtdy"! He he a little high school humor for you "Bill", from your friend "Jell".

Here is the fun you DO have coming to you in the mail soon. Sorry I couldn't get to the post office soon enough for it to arrive today.

A super fun package celebrating my bestest girl friend. Yippee!

I had a great time picking your initials in a cool font. Hand painted by me.

A print that not only looks cute but the when I saw it I immediately thought of you.

Season of the HEART

Here is our Valentines Day tree all decorated with paper valentines I made for Trent on our very first Valentines Day together. I am so excited! I heart Heart Day!

New Top

I made this new top for my daughter this past week and I love how it turned out. I actually used a pattern this time! :) I have always had a hard time figuring them out till now! I feel liberated yippee! I used a thrifted vintage night gown pattern, went for the shorter nighty option and swapped out the matching panties for leggings. Super cute I think!
