valentine cake

Here is my 20 year old son decorating the heart cake that he made for his girlfriend yesterday for Valentine's Day. He did a really nice job on it!

And here is the finished cake. What a guy!

valentine card...

I made 2 of these cards to give to my 2 boys. I didn't want anything frilly, etc since they are 18 and 20 years old. I got this idea from someone on the Gingerwood board and think it's perfect! The words are all PTI stamps. Not sure who makes the heart stamp. The scan looks a bit off....the cs is PTI's bright white, the black lines really are straight in real life, and the card is not bowed like it looks in the scan. If anyone has any tips for me as to how to take pictures of cards, please let me know. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

valentine treat and pail

Here is the 3rd and last valentine treat that I made. I bought a ton of these little glass bottles for 2 cents a piece. All I did for this project was wrapped the ribbon around the cap.
And here are the 3 treats in the pail. I think the children will love these!

How Sweet...

My 20 year old son asked me last night if he could use my stamps and craft supplies to make a valentine's card for his girlfriend. I of course said yes. Here is the card that he made - I think it's pretty sweet and I hope she thinks so too. He is also baking her a heart cake and will be decorating it with homemade frosting. What a romantic.

I am awarded the Bitch Badge...

Bitch of the West awarded me a bitch badge and after the last couple of days that I've had, I truely believe that I earned this badge! I have been trying to remove an ugly trojan from my computer that was popping up all kinds of nasty stuff onto my computer. I am happy to report that I think I have it taken care of now. But it sure did make for an ugly couple of days! I really wish the people who are behind the trojans, worms, and virus's would do something more useful with their lives!

Easter Eggs...

I know it's a little early to be posting Easter projects but after seeing the egg box that Papertreyink is coming out with this month, I thought I would share these eggs I made a couple of years ago. I found some cute flower trim at Walmart, and I cut it so I had a bunch of single flowers. Then I just took glue dots and stuck them onto a white clean egg. Wouldn't these make a nice Easter gift paired with a decorated egg box?

with stems

Wow, what a difference 3 little stems can make! I'm so glad I added them as an after thought. The card just didn't look right to me until now.
