Crafting my heart away

So February is GONE! and March is HERE!  Which means... taking down the Valentine's decor and putting up my St. Patrick's day stuff.  Compared to All the other holidays.... I have the least amount of St. Patty's day goodies to decorate my home.

SO.... Instead of cleaning my house and catching up on ALL the laundry. I made a trip to the Dollar Store and Wally World, to pick up a few craft supplies.  I have really enjoyed making Valentine wreaths last month, so I decided to try my hand at one for St. Patty's day too. (I even did KIND OF a Tutorial... Give me a break, it was my 1st time)

So here we go.

Ist I took this (bargain at just $1)

then I added this green yarn whole thing was $2.97 (my girls picked out the color)

wrapped it around tightly so that there were no holes.  Secured it with some hot glue. 

Then I added this floral pin to the back to hang it up on the wall.  And WALLAH! (is that even how you spell it?)

Then I added these.  Got a package of them for just $1.97 at Wally World. 

So here is the FINAL product. What do ya think?

(I stuck it on the wall outside... trying to figure out where to hang it.  I like the way it looks in my entry way.)

 

Here is another wreath I did.  I took old puzzle pieces, painted them green and then added them to another dollar wreath wrapped in crepe paper.  whole thing cost me $1.00 for the wreath

Just a bit of Valentine's yumminess....

I Tried to make the BEST of Valentine's day this year.  I feel like crap YUCK! My mouth is STILL killing me after having my tooth pulled friday.  I hardly have energy to stand.  BUT I knew I needed to make something for the girls to take to their teachers and  friends for Valentine's.... PLUS I wanted to make them a special treat too.... to show them I LOVE THEM! (I think they already know, but still.)

Here are just a few of the yummy treats we I made (ok maybe I had a little help from my girls)

You CAN'T go wrong with CHOCOLATE!  I also made Heart shaped brownies for my girls but forgot to take pictures. That was their "Valentine's treat" they took to have at school, from MOM!

I then made (decorated) these tshirts for my girls

(my oldest said she was too old to wear one... that's why there is No picture of her)

I figured I would add a few of the Valentine's decorations around my home.... some I made, others I bought. Can you tell which I made???

Happy Valentine's to all my 4 little Valentine's.....I am a pretty lucky mom!
