Oh, and I wanted to show you the sweet heart garlands I had fun making this week...perhaps you've already guessed...I love creating Valentine's inspired things! {{happy sigh}}. I think they turned out quite beautifully... I used double-sided scrapbook paper which gave the garlands some extra colour and cheer! Have you been busy at your craft table with any Valentine~related crafts...?

Hugs n' love!
