I love valentines (as in cards sent for Valentine's Day) I also love making my valentines, which I did today. Lastly, I love getting things done ahead of time- so the fact that it is still January and I've made my cards for Valentine's Day is a very good thing!

It shouldn't be a surprise that I love any excuse to tell my family & friends that I love them....and cute cards are a nice way to do it.

It does look like I used 2 different envelopes....I didn't....I just took a terrible photo of the front!

And- no- I didn't do the cool design on the front of the card....I only wish I knew how to do that! The cards came with the pattern on them :)

Just because gift

I love baking. I love being a little bit crafty. I love to give gifts.

(I guess it is fair to say....I also love blue and brown together!)

I made this gift for my big brother, just because.

I put homemade chocolate orange scones & homemade cherry walnut scones in a Ball jar with a hand stamped "keep smiling" lid. I made the gift tag a little better by adding the blue & brown paper strips to the bottom.
