Over the Rainbow



Over the rainbow to the pot of gold! Two great images and themes for St. Patrick's Day - Rainbows and Gold. What little girl doesn't love a wand and she certainly couldn't be more lucky than to have one with the colors of the rainbow! Now the gold part is up to you! 

This is such an easy project you can make it yourself or make it together. 

The directions are provided HERE.

Bingo!

BINGO ... will you be mine-o?
What a great update on a game that has been around forever! So much fun and a colorful rendition for a timeless, easy and fun game for the whole family. 



Heart String

So ... you don't really have time to hop in the car and go buy scrapbook papers for a very decorative heart banner! No problem!! Just click on the link below for a free printable. You or that special "little one(s)" in your life can cut these out and string them along a piece of yarn or ribbon ... and if all else fails ... 
how about some string? 
You have several choices for attaching them: 1. You can use decorative paper clips (or plain!), 2. You can punch a couple of holes side by side and string them along, or 3. You could punch a hole and use a length of ribbon, string or yarn to 
tie them on with a pretty bow!
The only thing left to do? Find the perfect place to put your Heart String!

Love Notes

I pulled this off of Pinterest but I couldn't really find the site to give credit where credit was due, but I wanted to pass it along all the same. 
There aren't enough days in the year where we could write a positive or loving sentiment to those we care about most. There also aren't many things in the world that help to bring out the "good" in others better than 
acknowledging how special they are to you. 
Yes, there may be times when it's hard to come up with something ... but more likely than not ... given a little effort on your part ... you will think of something. 
If the first of February has already passed (and it has if you look at this post date), you can at least start 7 days out from Valentines. That might be more reasonable, too, if you have more than one person to give these "love notes" to! 


No Sew Pillow



What is cuddly, cute, soft and lovable but doesn't require you to feed it, 
have a litter box, or a doggie door?  
Well ... it's not a pet! I've fallen in love with this no sew heart pillow!!!  Go on ... you know you want to make one. Click on the instruction link to find out how.

A Love Note A Day!



On the surface this heart chain may seem like it's not much to give someone for Valentines. But what if on one side of each strip, you wrote what you like (or love) about the recipient? Now that's pretty "sweet" if you ask me. 

How about cutting 7 strips - enough to open one up each day for a week.  Write your sentiment and then, when you fold the strip, make sure your compliment is on the inside surface. Then, at a special time each day (maybe breakfast to start the day off right), your "sweet" person can release a heart from the chain and read what you have written! A "love-ly" way to start a day!




I "Chews" You!


So many are making it so easy on us with these great "bag of treats" ideas for just about every occasion.  No doubt about it ... chocolate is always a favorite but I love the color that goes along with this choice of candy.  You can control how much candy goes in if you don't want to go over-board! Presentation is a big deal here. A free printable is included in the instructions.
