Hobby: Valentine's Day Wreath

SO, today is snow day #5 here in Texas! This time I am prepared...went out to Hobby Lobby yesterday and bought the supplies to make a wreath, in the event that I was stuck in the house for another snow day. We also have milk, eggs, tp, chocolate chip cookies, and all the other necessities you don't want to be without!

This wreath was so easy to make! Start with a wreath form. Use whatever flowers you think look best...I was also looking at some gorgeous (and expensive) red roses...but decided on the red geraniums. Cut the stems off, and hot glue the heads of flowers around the center of the wreath! Ta-Da! This is gonna look great on my front door...as soon as the snow stops and I am brave enough to face the cold and open the door!
Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Hobby: Valentine's Day Treats

As I was trying to decide what to give my girlies for Valentine's Day, the thought occurred to me that if I have to eat another cupcake or piece of chocolate right now, I just might gag. We have had several weeks of nothing but sweets at work it seems...so in an effort to help myself and my co-workers, I came up with a (hopefully) refreshing change from all the sweet stuff.
How about some yummy tea in a cute little package on a chilly February 14th? Here's how I made it: Purchase some high quality tea. I chose Numi Organic Chocolate & Vanilla Black Tea. (so, Chocolate is still in the name...just less sugar and calories!). Get some cute scrapbook paper (some sort of pink, red, or Valentine's print), matching ribbon, and some sort of cute label or tag for the front. Cut the paper in strips, wide and long enough to form an envelope for the tea bag. I don't think I need to include an further instructions - it is so easy and you can add whatever twists of your own!

Today is a snow day in Texas, so I've had some extra time to update my Etsy account, my blog, and to created a Facebook page for my Etsy account! All good things - technology is wonderful when it works!
Please check out my blog, and don't forget to "Like" my page on Facebook too! It's still a work in progress, but we just go news that tomorrow is another snow day, so at least I have something to keep me busy!
