"Petite Inspiration Box" Swap Revealed

Here they are...... Aren't they just wonderful?!!!
I just can't even express how much I love this swap. I love everything little so this is perfect for me. I also feel like you can splurge with some really nice things because you only have to use up a small amount of your favorite supplies.This is the first one I received from the lovely Natalea from Kandeland she filled this fabulous creation with tons of inspiring bits for Valentines Day. Next, I received this little beauty from Maria at the Junkkdrawer. She was so generous and thoughtful with the inspiration she sent me. Look at all of those bingo markers.
And, Last but not least, I received this sweet thing from Connie at Constantlyvintage.
I love, love, love the ballerina and the pink fan. Now, I just have to keep them away from my daughters. LOL!!
Thank you lovely ladies, I am indeed inspired.

Sneak Peek!!

Spoiler Alert!!
Sneak peek at my "Petite Inspiration Box" swap.
This is one of my all time favorite swaps. It's so much fun to get three little adorable packages filled with all kinds of creative bits and bobs.
It's almost as fun as making and filling three little boxes.
This year the theme was Valentines Day.
Makes sense :-)
I didn't think I was going to get these beauties done on time.
Well, their kinda on time....
Have a wonderful weekend.

I'm still here

Wow!! What a week.
First, super duper busy making flowers for a really large order. A super talented artist ordered a ton of flowers and I can't wait to see her finished creations. I feel so lucky.
Second, the flu!!! ugh. 3 of my 4 babies have had the flu this week. They've spaced it out. One every other night.
I mean middle of the night. So, no sleep for me 2 nights this week. All the while praying that I can finish my big order without getting sick myself.
Yeah, I made it.
Now that I'm finally back on the computer, I found this sweet little Valentine Card Party on, of course, Valentines Day.
You should all join in if you can.
Finally, tonight I want to thank all of the wonderful and supportive blogger artists out there who are so generous and kind and have featured my little shop on your blog. You mean so much to me and I truly appreciate all of the kindness.
Have a fabulous weekend.
xoxo

I'm addicted

I have an addiction.
It's a newly acquired addiction.
I don't think it's all that healthy(i guess most addictions aren't)
I have been making millions of these little sweeties.
Seriously, I even dream that I'm making them when I'm asleep

I should be doing other things like: undecorating my really dead Christmas tree, or laundry, or 2,000 other things around the house.

Instead, I'm making these. But, they are sooooo cute, and I keep coming up with different combinations and color ideas........ well, you get it!

I did find time to make this adorable Valentines craft kit. Now, I've got to stop. The kiddos are driving each other crazy and need some mommy time.

But.....

I've got of sweetheart locket necklace ideas and vintage cameo pendant ideas...Maybe I can just do a little work when the kids go to sleep tonight. That wouldn't be too bad right???

I'll be back to show you what else I can sneak in.
