For me I'll be waiting until Sammie is on spring break so we can create some of these together. Will you be hosting an Easter celebration this year? Or going to one?

Valentines Hearts

I crafted several different hearts. Ones with felt and paper, ribbon and lace. Ones with burlap, paper, felt and little bits of this and that. Then I made felt ones where I embroidered with the sewing machine and added ribbon and these cute little scrap book angels I found. I making a few cards and I promise to share those with you. I am not the best at paper crafts but I love them still the same! It can be so much fun.
No super bowl Sunday for me! Just a girly day full of pedicures and then crafting. Yes, you have to love the spring air that is upon us our toes bursting to toss the tennis shoes for flip flops. Sammie picked this mermaid blue and we had to match. I love when she lets me pamper her sometimes. She isn't the most girly, girl I have raised. But, she is starting to love learning to cook and bake.  Or....Hm mm, could it be the end results?

Any how. What are you crafting these days? Do you have any special plans for Valentine's Day? Or do you just plan a nice dinner at home with something sweet after? Like me. I would love to know~

I love to scrapbook, but I don't often look for inspiration. I just usually find papers and embellishments then start a page. I love to put pages together in scrapbooks for various occasions. I have endless photographs from prior to digital age to catalog which is a major undertaking. But when I came across this inspiring e-magazine it has me swooning to get out the paper and create some new pages! I hope you find some inspiration from this too!

Do you do scrapbooks for a hobby? Have you scrap booked lately? Do you scrapbook for travel, vacations, weddings, children or family books?
I would love to know~
