January felt like a long month so I am super excited that today is the first of February. February is a great month with Valentine’s Day, Shrove Tuesday and my husband’s birthday! We love making Valentine’s Day a really family affair. In our house everyone gets a card and we love to craft as red…
Have you started thinking about Valentine’s Day yet? I love to give my children a card and a little sweet treat, just like my parents used to give me and my sister. This year I wanted to make a paper treat bag to hold my treats. They are embellished with a paper weave detail which…
