Remember that frame? - yes, the one with the darling little girls playing make-up ;) Well, here she is now!!! I love it, love it, love it!!! I have been searching the Goodwill for a big, fancy frame for soooo long to make this and finally hit the jackpot last month. It is the perfect inspiration board for my rather eclectic craft room. {Ignore the boring paint color. That too is in the works.} But for now I will sit back and enjoy all the did-it-myself-shabby-chic goodness!!!
And when I wasn't painting, distressing, or stapling chicken wire on the frame last week, I was making stuff! Sweet pink and red Valentine's stuff!
First up, these great chocolate boxes gleaned from a tutorial at Jana Eubank's blog. I used a smaller sized box, but still loved the results with a bit smaller price tag. I think I made 8 total for all the teachers, assistants, nurses, and neighbors we love. This is the one I created for my brother and SIL on their first Valentine's Day as a married couple.
Next, is this fun little muffin tin project. Back in December, I saw this in the form of a 12 days of Christmas countdown. However, I didn't want to wait that long so I used up some scraps from my February Two Chicks Designs kit to make a gift for my mom and dad. We put a few candies in some of the spots along with handwritten love notes from each of us to my parents. I can't wait to make another one to leave hanging at our house. Maybe little pots of gold for St. Patty's Day?
I have sooooo many ideas that I want to try right now. My inspiration book is overflowing!!! I will post my other layouts and projects from the February Kit a little later this week.
