Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! I hope you are able to spend it with people that you love.
My husband and I have been married almost 20 years now. Lots of Valentine’s days together. What we’ve found we like the best is to have dinner with our kids at home on Valentine’s Day. No fighting the crowds and restaurants, or making reservations.
Chalk Art t-shirt Tutorial
Okay I have a confession to make. I’m not a band wagon jumper. I know, a weird trait to have as a blogger. But I get all “nervous” when I see something getting REALLY popular…
I have a 2nd confession to make. I jumped on the Chalk Art Band Wagon. I could no longer resist….. I decided it’s a pretty good bandwagon to be riding on. Especially with all of the fabulous Chalk Art from Ms. Rhonna Farrer to tempt me.

Valentine’s Day Projects
Hello!
This past year I was so excited to be a contributing author to the Sweet Celebrations
Interchangeable Holiday Wreath
Today I’m going to show you how to make this Valentine’s wreath featuring Rhonna Designs digi images….
Then I’m going to show you how to use the SAME wreath and swap out the elements to make it work for any season! No more buying multiple wreaths during the year.
This wreath was SUPER simple to make! I just started out with a Styrofoam wreath form and wrapped it in 3″ wide cotton lace. (it took about 2 1/2 yards of lace).
