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".

little valentine owl

I am in love with this little guy! He's just 1.5 inches big. He makes me smile every time I look at him. I think I should make a bigger one.

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.

favorite gift

I made a birthday party for my daughter's dolls for Christmas, she loves it.

sugar cookies

We're cooking up a storm over here in the Gudmundsen kitchen. Can you spy what's different about our treats?

Surprise! They are all inedible! What a great way to let out my need to bake pretty things and still stay healthy! They also make great play food!

candy village

Making three little houses was fun I think I'll do it every year!
