Lunchbox Love Day 1

So...this is the final week before Valentine's Day. I decided to leave some little love notes in my hubby's lunch for the occasion. I also thought some little treats might make it fun....so this is what he will find today:
It isn't much, but sweettarts are his favorite candy....so it was fun to find a little box of heart shaped ones for him and I know he will love it!

Valentine's Day Treat Jar

I had this jar: added a ribbon and paper heart: Filled it with Valentine's colored Hershey Kisses:

Love It! (and so do my kids)

I caved....

I had no plans to make these:

but my sister invited me to go with her to a bead place and I fell in love....these are so easy to make and I made both of these there and only paid $20 (that includes the watch face) so I loved the price, too. They are way more comfortable to wear than I thought they would be, too!

I may just have to go back and make some more :)

Thanks Staci!

Card Organizer

I finally got around to making one of these...I'm hoping I can do better and sending out cards to pe0ple this year...I think this will help. I found the idea a long time ago on Katie's Nesting Spot.

I kept mine really simple and used paper, stamps, and a 8x8 book that I already had. The pages have pockets that hold the cards I need for that month: Birthdays, Holidays, and other special events. I made my pages 2-sided and there is a pocket for each month.

Now I just need to go through and fill in my dates and make a bunch of cards....but it's a start!

Blanket and Burp Clothes

I made these for our upcoming baby (yeah...we haven't agreed on a name yet :) ) They match the car seat cover, not that it mattered to have them match.

Car Seat Cover

I've been wanting to make one of these for our upcoming baby...so I bought some flannel that I liked and found this tutorial on Make it Do just in time to make it a breeze to make.

It even has curved corners, so it won't drag on the ground :) My favorite part it that it has straps to hold it onto the car seat and holds it off the baby's face.
Here's a peek at the underside flannel:

So I readjusted the car seat straps, put on the cover and one more baby thing is ready!!
