Oh What Fun

These beautiful tulips were hand delivered to my door yesterday while Sean was at work. What a beautiful surprise. They came with chocolates too, delish.

After a sub-par italian dinner (made by me) we enjoyed these fun valentine treats. Grant got a new pair of shoes for church. He wore his sneakers last week because that's all he had that fit.

Thanks Sean for such a beautiful gift.

Craft Time

I would definitely consider myself a beginner when it comes to crafting. It's fun but it takes a lot of time. I have spent a few nap times doing some projects that I wanted to show you. Also, for me to take on a craft it has to be cheap. That way, if I mess it up royally, I won't be out much. =)

1. Framed Rose Wreath: I should have taken a picture of this frame "before". It was a scratched-up, forest green frame that I had from years ago. This is is now. These roses took too much time. If I realized it from the begining I might not have done it. =) This project cost approximately $4.50 since I already had the frame.
2. Necklace Holder: This is it "before". I bought this decorative shelf at IKEA for about $3. I didn't need a shelf so I decided to use it for something I did need.
and "After"

a closer look (This project cost me about $4.25)
3. A little decoration in Grant's room (approx. $2.00)
4. A valentine's wreath (approx $2.00)
5. Family Name Plate (approx. $1.25) Thanks to the cricut Sean got me for Christmas and the dollar store, this is super cheap to make.
