Heart block

This was very simple craft. Three various sized white hearts on a red board with twine. I liked the simplicity of it.

Hanging Hearts

This is the alternative to the personalized family hearts. Instead of stacking them on a block they can hang with ribbon. I have this sliver of a wall near my front door and I'm always tryin to think of something small and thin enough to hang there. This was a total accident. I lined the hearts up in a line on my table to hold something down and realized I liked them like that! I also had cut our names out for another craft but the names were too small for that craft and they worked out perfectly for these. It's not a pretty frilly font like I used on all my other valentine hearts but it worked. And all I had to do was cut a small board to hold it all together.
 

The Hardys Heart

I love this giant heart! I had a lot of success selling personalized holiday crafts on a local Facebook page. So I keep trying to come up with new stuff to keep people on that page interested in the crafts I offer. I wanted it simple. My favorite part about it is the knock off "I love Lucy" font. It pulled the whole craft together and gave it a lot of character for such a simple thing. And I love looking at it when I open my front door. It replaced the wreaths that I usually hang there.

Please knock

A lady I go to church with asked me to make her "knock" sign because her doorbell was broken. She told me she only wanted to spend $5. So I made a sign the size of my $5 crafts and when she came it pick it up she just thought it was so beautiful. She's given my kids a fisher price basketball hoop and numerous Dora movies so I couldn't charge her.

Personalized Valentine Family

This is my valentine twist to all the other personalized holiday family blocks. I used a coca cola font and think it's perfect. The boys are red and girls are pink. I like the way it turned out!! 

Be My Valentine

This one is super simple. I saw it on Pinterest and thought it was adorable! I like the tan paint with red vinyl. It breaks up all the red, white, and pink that I have out right now.

LOVE quote

A friend who has ordered several signs for herself and friends from me posted a picture of this on fb and suggested it for one of the Valentines crafts. I love when people give me ideas. I don't have to search or guess what people like. It's a good size. And I had a great spot for it. 

Valentine Yarn Wreath

I saw this one circulating Pinterest last year and made a different one instead. But this year I had tons of grey yarn left over from a previous wreath I made over the summer. Which meant I got to make this one since I has tons of felt scraps laying around too.

LOVE Board

I had the back of the "Santa clause is coming to town" board from Christmas and it was blank. I am all about saving on supplies and cost. So some white paint and giant red vinyl letters solved that problem. I really like the way it looks. I have it hanging between my hutch and big kitchen window. It's the perfect spot.

White Elephant Gift

Church had ended and my family and I were walking out and a friend grabbed me and said she had a white elephant party the following evening and wondered if I could make something for her to give. I told her as long as it was simple. She sent me a text later with a very simple statement. And it took me all of ten minutes to whip it up.
