Valentine's

Happy sunday!

I know I showed these tins before, but I wanted to share the chalkboard and another

take on how I used them.

These were the tags that I found at Ross, They had the gold hearts on them, I just stamped the message. 

I made these up for the ladies in my women's group. 

You can find these tins at Hobby Lobby, they had them

on sale for $2.40 for 10

Dollar Tree pump bottles

So check out these cute little pump bottles from the Dollar Tree.

I happen to be in store and came upon them. 

Have you seen these before?  They are great, you fill them up

with any type of lotion you like, facial, body, etc.

They are a smaller size, so great for traveling or to keep in your car. 

Holds 1 oz of any lotion

I filled mine with this favorite lotion that I get at Target.

Love the vanilla smell and its a nice thick lotion. 

fill it up and attach the lid, then when you use it, you just give

it a pump!  It holds  quite a bit. 

Go get a few, great Valentine gift idea too for the girlies in your life!

Pickled veggies

I picked up this mason jar at HomeGoods to make some

pickled veggies to have on hand in the frig.

 

Start with a brine on the stove in a stock pot

This recipe is an easy fridge pickled recipe which

makes your veggies, crunchy, zesty snack.

Prepare the brine as follows and bring to a boil before cutting up your veggies.

Brine:

1 cup of white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

1 cup of water

2 garlic cloves 

1 teaspoon of sea salt

1 T of sugar (to balance acidity)

or use a alternative sweetener and adjust to taste.

1 teaspoon of oregano 

This quick and easy recipe does not require any complicated

canning process, making it perfect for anyone seeking fresh

and healthy veggies for your meals. 

Take a look in your frig and see what veggies you have to pickle.

You can do this weekly when you have an over surplus of veggies that

need to be used up. 

I chopped up cukes, red peppers, celery, red onion, cauliflower and green olives. 

Chop them all to the size of your liking and put them into your jar. 

Now that your brine has boiled, pour the warm brine over your veggies in the jar/

Allow the jar to cool to room temperature, then put into your frig to chill.

After a couple of hours, your quick fridge are ready to enjoy! 

Sweeter than you.....

In the dead of January I have been going through cupboards and drawers cleaning up

and purging as many of you most likely have.

I found many "extra" pieces laying around from past paper pumpkins deciding

I should take the time to use them to create some cards with them. 

These strawberry pieces are from the "sweeter than you" paper

pumpkin kit.  I only had left over strawberries and a few little flowers. 

Out of season, but cute as ever.... 

I found some striped paper and other extra pieces I had in my stash to create these

cards. I added a little bit of glitter to the strawberries to make it look like

sugared strawberries. 

Take a peek in your stash and see what you can create with your leftover pieces.

Valentine Candy boxes

While at Ross dress for less the other day I found these packages of 

cello bags with heart tags and baker's twine in them (25) for $3.99

What a steal! 

They are so nicely made and the tag paper is very thick.

I pulled out this stamp set to find just he right wording 

for the tags. 

These cutie ceramic heart boxes can be found at the Dollar Tree

for you guessed it... $1.25

I made a quick trip to See's candies to pick up some valentine

chocolate for the boxes. These are the raspberry truffles...

I bagged them up in the cello bag and added some baker's twine and stamped

the wording. 

I chose "be mine" and

"He care for you always"

Simple cute and inexpensive little valentine. 

Paper Pumpkin Special Delivery january 2026

This months paper pumpkin, so sweet and cute.

As always these kits come with everything you need

to create what included. 

Here's all three cards together.

I sometimes like to change up the card design which 

I did slightly with this kit. 

All the cards have a vintage postcards. 

By far my most favorite of the three, and easy to put together too!
