the v-day aftermath

 Myer got stripped pants and bubbles...

 

Jake got a special 52 card deck...

(inspiration from this post)

and Jake surprised me and Myer with a ticket to see my sister in New Mexico!

Going for a whole week ya'll!  Can't wait!

And lets not forget about the cupcakes. Naturally.

Probably my favorite Valentines.
Been wanting to visit my sister and Myer's cousins for a long time.
Jake read my mind.  Chalk that up to # 53...

I love celebrating love, with the people I love.
Happy Valentines!

happy valentines day

love,

us.

free and easy v-day crafty

I am not a craft person.  But I totally had to make this Happy Heart Paint Chip Garland as the supplies were free.  Free.  But, since sewing and I aren't friends, and mostly lack there of said sewing machine, I just hole punched the sides and strung the hearts together with twine. And presto!

I was so proud of myself I made two.  Head on over the Coterie Blog for the full skinny and run down.  And those of you with sewing machines, have at it.  I think this garland may even be possible with other holidays...I like it!

swings and faces

still no snow.

buds, buddy, buddies

This weekend Jessie visited from Vegas 

and we just love it when she and her hubby come over.  

Myer loves Carson, we think it's because of his cool glasses, 

and they became buds instantly.  

Two peas in a pod really.  

Come visit more often mmkay?

gold and studded

As I mentioned in my last post I made myself a gold studded collar

from this tutorial.

My thumbs are bruised but I love the end result!

Who wants to pay for one when they could just make it?

I love it.
