Got Mail?

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays!! Love is in the air...everyone has decorated with red, pink, purple...the world has settled down from the Christmas scurry.. Bliss!!


I can't say the original part of the idea is mine...it's not. BUT I can tell you that my kids have had a lot of fun with this. They love racing down the stairs in the morning, checking their very own mail boxes, and reading why mom & dad love them OH so very much. 


I found these little boxes at Target, decorated them with vinyl from my Cricut, and voila! V-Day success.
I set them on top of Mason jars (save your spaghetti jars :) so the girls can place their love notes inside and read them whenever they'd like.

DIY Painted Glass. Grab your paint pens!

Painting glass is so easy and FUN for all (except those who have butterfingers and tend to drop things..heh)

All you need is:
Clean glass *you don't want to paint over anything old & funky*
Paint Pens
Embellishments
Adhesive if you use embellishments

Steps
1-Clean glass
2-Open Pens (keep pens away from clothes--I'm here to tell ya it will STAIN)
3-Create!!
4-Allow to dry

I have only done these for decorative purposes.. I've yet to find a good sealer that would allow me to paint and then (a) wash in the dishwasher (b) not cause a cloudy/smudgy look (c) totally ruin the creation I was so proud of. If y'all find something good, puh-LEASE let me know what you've used.

The link below shows some of the different things I've done.
Have fun & be creative!!
