I just wanted to share a couple of QUICK and EASY Valentine's day ideas.
These were made before I was a "crafty blogger", so I have photos, but they are not great photos.. and like any good crafter, I made these then gave them away, so I can't take another picture!
These are some magnets that you can whip up really quick!! Especially now, that so many people have e-cutting machines.
I purchased the wooden rectangles at Hobby Lobby, then painted them cream and distressed the edges a bit.
I then with E6000 glue, glued 2 magnets to the back of each one. I tied them up with a bow and gave them to some girls at church.
The font is 2P's in a bucket, Fragile and the letters are cut from red vinyl.

I've also got a couple of questions about my block stack.
These are made using 2"x4"'s. Traci's husband had some wood left over from another project and cut them for us. I then cut out the vinyl lettering.
They are just graduated sizes of wood, I think they are 8", 6" and 4"... again just painted with vinyl letters attached.
Traci wrote about them on her blog...we had a "crafternoon" and made some fun Valentine's day stuff a year ago! You can see what we made here. Speaking of which, Valentines day is almost here, I think we need another crafternoon.... hint hint Traci *wink*.
There are a few more Valentine's day crafts to come! Next I've got a couple of projects using vintage postcards!!
Speaking of Vintage postcards, Traci's listed some SUPER cute Valentine's day charms in her shop!

I wanted to share little tidbit with you this morning in an effort to spread the word for this great cause. Our little town is putting on their 35th annual St. Jude auction this weekend and I wanted to give you the website if you are interested in seeing what we do for the children of st. jude every year. It's www.mindenstjude.com You can shop and buy chances on raffles. Hope you don't mind me plugging it on your comments. It's a wonderful cause!
do you read the blog Brown Paper Packages?? She does wood blocks like that and they are adorable... as are yours!! It's just too cute of an idea! Thanks for sharing.
Love the wooden blocks! What a sweet gift!!
So cute! I love the magnets. I'm passing along a trendy blogger award to you.
