Be Mine Valentine Buckle

My friend, Brandy, over at Urban Cowgirl Creations has an amazing talent. She makes these fabulous belt buckles, personalized bracelets, and cowgirl rings. My husband, being the sweetie that he is, was sneaky and contacted her to buy me my very own belt buckle for Christmas. I'd been keeping m eye on them for some time and had a heck of a time picking out the perfect one. He also got our daughter one of her bracelets, which she adores. It was such a surprise and man do I love surprises! You have to check out her Etsy Shop! I may just break down and get this new Valentines buckle. It is going to become my new accessory that I swap out like purses. :) Isn't this one cute?

Paper Eggs

I came across a project that I thought I'd try with the kids. Thanks for the inspiration, This Is The Year blog! I love the end result. I will say, that my daughter had more fun cutting the strips of paper for me than gluing them on. This blog site has all the details if you want to try them! Another twist on this idea comes from Creative Attempts. Check out that blog to see how she did the same project, but with tissue paper. Super cute!
