I Just Can't Get Enough!

I'm addicted to making Valentine's Day crafts! I think these are all I'm planning on making this year though. Winter makes me quite un-motivated, but this past week has been great. It is amazing how much fun I have creating things!

These are out of 1/4" thick wood that is 5 1/2" tall and 4" wide. I painted the wood, cut out the letters out of paper, added the background paper, and then the embellishments. I then drilled the holes to connect them together with wire.


These are out of 5 1/2" high and 1 1/2" thick wood cut to 12" and 16" lengths with a 4" piece from a 2 x 4. Again I just painted the wood then decorated them with paper and the letters I cut out from paper. I didn't embellish these though. I think I will modge podge them as soon as I buy more.

Both of these were pretty simple and didn't require many tools. I just had to have my neighbor cut the wood for me. Someday I'll have some saws! Someday...

Those are so cute! I lack complete ambition to do much of anything that isn't required during the winter. I guess I need to change that about myself with Alaksa winters being so long. Hey did I tell you I saw your mom and dad at Davids Wedding? It was fun to visit. I had no idea that they were working at the visitors center.

So I have called CPS on you cause what have your children been doing while you have been crafting? J/K! I can't believe how creative you are! And you have such limited tools. Nice job, I keep talking about at least making the wreath so far nothing!

Hey, it's nice to see I taught you something! Just kidding, I take no credit for those, they're adorable! So I'm curious, do you lay awake at night thinking of ideas? If you do than you truly are sick like me! :)
