Valentines Day Cards 2013

Hi.

Remember me?

No?

Who can blame you, it's only been a month...

We haven't been up to much, but I decided to get an early step on Valentines Day cards for Buggie to give her classmates.

Do you remember last years?

Yep, those are hard to top, so instead I just reached for just below that awesomeness...

I did not take any action shots of making the props, cause honestly it was way too easy to get the camera out to document....

I bought 1 yd of stretchy lace and some white stiff feathers, the rest of the items I used I had on hand.

I took the feathers and used painters tape to tape them down on some cardboard, then light spray painted them...

Once they were dry I hot glued them to the lace.

Then for her bow and arrows, I just went into my back yard got some branches and them wrapped some twine around the large one for a bow, and added some felt to make the bows.

Done and done.

Then we went outside and got some action shots...

{her shirt is from Target, Skirt is last year GapKids, and the leggings are from Hello Apparel. }

I loved how into it she got, which meant I got some amazing shots.

But this was the final pick...

And I am all for not giving candy for V-day, so we had decided to give pencils, hence the wording my fab friend Kori came up with!!

I loved how they turned out...

And Buggie said "Momma my kids are going to think these are the coolest."

Welp friends, that the seal of endorsement if I have ever heard one!

A Spoonful of Sugar Valentines {DIY}

Remember that super sweet picture I took of Buggie the other day?

While here is what I ended up using them for...

I did this DIY, where I personalized spoons, a while back. But this time I decided to paint the spoons for a little added flare.

Supplies:

- spoons {dollar store has 2 for $1}

- wire

- wire cutters

- letter beads

- spray paint

Once the dollar store spoons were painted, we got to wrapping.

Buggie had a good time helping me spelling out all her friends names in her class.

Starting at the bottom of the spoon on the back, fold a little wire up, and wrap a few times.

Then start adding beads, wrapping a few times in between each letter.

To end wrap several times then tuck the wire through the back.

Add a little Kiss to the spoon with some double sided tape, for that little bit of sugar.

I am OVER THE MOON with how they turned out.

Enjoy!
