Valentines Day Round-Up

I love Valentines Day! There are always the cutest crafts to make and I get an excuse to cover our casa in pink decor ;) Oh and of course, I get to show my main squeeze how much I adore him. Lately I have had a ball making valentines decor and I am so excited to show you all the crafts I have made but first, I wanted to link up all the crafty ladies whose lovely crafts have inspired me...

coupon love

I feel so amazing when I walk out of the store getting things for insanely cheap or free! When I get these deals I feel like I am not "just a stay at home home". Being a stay at home mom is amazing and the best job in the world is being "just a stay at home mom". I feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom but do find it extremely rewarding to save our family money and hope I can inspire people to do the same.
I love to coupon.

(yes I bought the same glad spray twice because it was free and I love the smell of it... don't judge.)

New Year... New Pantry

Clint has been out of town all week. It is officially the dreaded "accounting busy season". I will now see my husband very little for the next 3 months. Now this post was actually not to complain about how lame it is when my hubs is gone all the time. I am actually extremely productive when he is out of town. I have a spotless house, work out everyday, and finish projects. So this week I organized the pantry. The baskets were only $1.50 at Walmart and I had extra vinyl from past projects. It is a new year. Go organize something ladies.

I want a puppy.

I saw a beautiful wreath off of ourbestbites.. So cute huh? I decided I needed it!




Now look at my adorable wreath! I love how the rolled burlap flowers turned out. It was super easy and I look how chic it is! I am probably going to make a couple more as Christmas gifts for friends.

for the little man

Don't these just look so yummy. Well sorry but you can't eat them. They are crayons! My supplies were just a 64 count of crayons and a small candy mold. I melted the crayons and poured them into the mold. It was that easy. I am putting this is Skyler's stocking. I want to find a car candy mold and do a crayon box full of them for him! Crafty. Easy. Cute. and Cheap.

simple elagance

Last week I went over to my friend Carmen's house for a girls night...a much needed girls night! I saw a tutorial for this adorable Tree and KNEW I had to make them! What better time to make them than a girls night? We had Pamela (Carmen's sister) and their mom join us too! Let me just tell you these trees turned out so dang cute. I just can't stop looking at mine. They do take awhile to make, though. It ended up being a "two night girls night". Overall, I think they were really fun and simple. Go over to Shanty2Chic to see how to make them too! We also decided we are going to be trying to do a girls night every six weeks. Email me if you want to come play with us!
