I love chocolate covered strawberries. To look at. I like the notion of them, in that they’re beautiful on a plate, and that they seem decadent and special. However, to eat them is a bit difficult. They are kind of messy… you take a bite, the chocolate cracks, drops everywhere and makes a mess. Or […]
A cute and rustic branch photo holder.
I love framed photos, and as many as I have it seems like I have just as many loose photographs floating around the house. That’s why I am in love with this fun photo holder from homework. How clever to make a branch photo holder? I think it is so stinkin’ cute that Carolyn (the […]
DIY single-use soaps for Valentine’s Day
I asked a few crafty experts to tell me about some of their favorite Valentine’s Day projects and recipes, so I could share them with you. This project from Suzy at Suzy’s Sitcom is such a clever idea: Single Use Soaps. Brilliant to begin with… but add a seasonal theme to them? Genius! I love […]

I don’t have anything against Valentine’s Day in particular, but I don’t […]
Handmade Valentine’s Gift… a relationship timeline.
Do you have one of those husbands or boyfriends who gets dates all jumbled in their heads? “That year we went to Such-and-Such… was that before or after we were married…?” or “Was that before we got together… or after we had the baby?” You know, there are just dates that women have a head […]
What a real Valentine looks like.
I’m sick today. (Like ready to go into a NyQuil induced coma, Sick Today.) I should be posting Valentine’s Day crafts, or romantic gift ideas, etc. Instead, here it is mid-day and I’m in sweats, have a nose like Rudolph’s and am feeling (and looking) about as romantic as the Church Lady. All this Valentine’s […]
Get meaningful with your Valentine’s Day gift.
Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching, and I am wracking my brain to think of something sweet and meaningful for Handsome Hubby. And it has to be better, more original and more creative than the things he does for me. Yes, competition is one of the cornerstones of our marriage… why do you ask? We do […]
