Custom Wall Letter SALE

Hey everyone!  Its been awhile since I've been on to post anything.  I wish I could say it was because I was on some amazing vacation on a tropical island drinking margaritas and soaking in some much needed sun.  But unfortunately, I was stuck on the couch (with no sun or margaritas) cuddling with my sick son watching "Space Buddies"...over and over again.  The only plus out of the whole equation was the cuddling.  Luckily, he is a trooper and the lil man is recovering quickly.  And I'm thankful that I do not have to watch "Space Buddies" again. Between caring for the sick lil man and working on all my orders from the February Sale, its been pretty busy around here. 

As a reminder, the SALE on all custom wall letters is $18 plus shipping until the end of February.  The sale will end at midnight on Saturday, February 28th.  You can start by filling out the information on the ORDER FORM PAGE or if you just want to go straight to purchasing it go to MY ETSY SHOP.  You can purchase the "Custom Wall Letter" listing and we start from scratch on your design or you can purchase one of the popular designs. 

I hope everyone is doing well and that you are all HEALTHY!  More projects to come .... :)

Quote of the Week

Gotta Make It: Hugs & Kisses Gift Bag

"Hugs & Kisses"

 

We did it!  We got the Valentine's gifts in the mail in enough time for them to reach the grandparents on the other side of the U.S. before Valentine's Day (hopefully :)).    Since its hard for us to give real hugs and kisses to them every day, we decided to do a Hugs & Kisses theme.  The lil man decorated the bag with X's and O's and inside the bag are a few surprises.  We filled it with Hershey's Hugs & Kisses, some Valentine cards the lil man picked out, some decorated cookies and then some action photos we took of lil man blowing kisses and giving hugs.  We figured pictures of him giving hugs & kisses to them was the next best thing to the real ones :). 

If you are looking for some last minute ideas this is definitely quick and easy and something that will keep the little ones occupied.

Gotta Make It: No-Sew Felt Clutch

"May we always laugh together, cry together, and be there for each other...."

I bought some felt to make some little Valentine's for Lil Man's friends and somehow I ended up with a felt clutch!  Luckily, one of his girl friends loves to carry around purses so this became her Felt Clutch/Purse Valentine.  It will be the 'wrapping' to her little Valentine's gifts, but will also be the most useful 'wrapping' she's ever seen! 

MATERIALS:

1 - 8 1/2 X 11 piece of felt
Glue Gun and Glue sticks
Ribbon
Embellishments
Velcro

HOW -TO:

1.  Take your piece of felt and place it front of you, with 8 1/2 being the width and 11 being the length (vertical).  Gently fold it into thirds starting by folding the bottom third up and then the upper third down. 

2.  Glue the bottom third into place be gluing along both sides.  Do not glue the upper part because that is the space in your clutch.  When using the glue gun with the felt, be careful not to use too much because it will seep through the felt. 

3.  Add Velcro to the bottom third and the inside of the upper third (see pics for better description). 

4.  Add some ribbon, buttons, flowers, etc for embellishments.  I also cut a couple slits on the fold of the upper third and slid ribbon through the two slits to create an arm strap. I secured the ribbon on the inside with the glue and covered it with another piece of felt to cover my mess :).

Obviously, this would be really cute with stitches in it if you are good sewer, but if you are like me and want quick and easy the glue gun will do!  Now fill your Valentine clutch with some surprises and give it to your little princess.  Considering that felt is about 25 cents a piece your little girls who love to dress up can have one to match every outfit!
