Valentine's Day Fun

At work we do a Secret Pal the week before Valentine's Day and then Valentine's Day is the big reveal. :o}
This is what I did for my final gift...glass etching! Yay, so fun! This was on one side and the other side had a F for her last name. I do not have a Silouette :o{ but I do have a Cricut and I can do some fun things like this. :o}

Reed needed a box for his Valentines and had been sick the week before so Sunday he was finally feeling better and thought we could do his box. Well wouldn't you know he fell asleep right after dinner. So I made it, he thought it was cool! Yay! I used a square tissue box and got my inspiration from February 2010 Family Fun magazine.

The next item was for the person giving me gifts for the Secret pal. This was the drying phase, I later added ribbon to the loop.

I left out these special treats for my husband for Valentine's Day.  Yes, is in the pan as he makes eggs every morning for breakfast.

Sums it up

This picture about sums it up what it was like at our house the week before Valentine's Day.

Oh and remember that yellow frame well this is what I was doing with it. :o} Too bad I didn't realize when putting it together that my life was going to be dealing with sick kids for a week.

Been awhile...

Today my youngest son was home sick and I had over 700 blog posts from Google Reader to catch up on. I got through about 500 of them today and some I just couldn't read just skimmed the pictures. Thank goodness for pictures, if the pictures look interesting then I read it. While I was reading today I came across some wonderful things that I really want to try, but I also came across some fun downloadable/printables that I have taken advantage of. I needed to go to Target tonight to pick up what I had sent for the photo center.
While browsing the end caps {You know where all the clearance items are.} I came across 2 not so lovely white frames.
BEFORE

See the crack in the corner? Oh and check out the price to not too bad!?!

The bottom was dirty too.

Well not to worry nothing a little spray paint won't take care of.

The paint is now drying so hopefully I will be back tomorrow with the finished product.
[I was all giddy using the spray paint, my husband thought I was nuts.]
