Sunday Blog Love - Linky Party

Welcome to another Sunday Blog Love!

It's going to be a cold weekend here.

We received our first snow yesterday, and it's going to be really windy today.

I'll be working on revamping my scrapbook/office and

staying inside where it's warm and dry.

Thank you to everyone who linked up last week

and also to those who left a comment.

Comments are so fun to read and I encourage

you to leave a comment whenever you read someone's blog.

Let me show you my top five favorites from last week.

Whenever I see a scrapbook space, I've got to check it out and see how they've

organized the space. Amy has also included a  super cute chalkboard table for her daughter

and her daughter has her own supplies...how fun!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and Terry from Forever Decorating shows us

her collection of Valentine hankies...super pretty!

I always love when a blogger shares projects that they've found and

Kimberly picks out some ideas for valentine gifts for teachers...

all without breaking the bank!

Suzanne whipped up these adorable placemats using images from Graphics Fairy and shares a fun story how she came to make them.  You'll want to check this out, lots of links and tutorials!

I'd never heard of lemon bark before and this sounds so yummy.
If you like Lemonheads, you'll want to check this out...easy and fast!

The most viewed link from last week was....

Keri shows us the Lovebird Specimen that she made..

the colors are spectular and she shares the link where she found these birdies..

I predict many of these to be in bloggy world very soon!

Adore Mini Album

Have you ever ordered anything from Scrapbook Steals? 

If you're a papercrafter they offer two great deals every day at discounted prices.
The thing, is you have to be fast because they can sell out quickly.



I recently bought the deal of the day -  the Teresa Collins Freestye mini album package.

This paper line was so pretty with the mixture of pinks and oranges...very girly..

My youngest daughter is living in South Korea and has yet to meet her

niece, Macie. I decided to make a mini album for her with pictures of Macie.

I especially love the weathered, shabby look of this paper line..

and how the chipboard pieces fit in so nicely...

Holding Macie for the first time was pretty special for my son, Michael..

he was a natural...

It was so cute how Bailey would come running to check out any sounds that

Macie made...

I added just a few embellishments because I wanted the mini to lay as

flat as possible....

Isn't this paper line just the cutest...love this pink zebra print...

My daughter loves Hello Kitty and I thought this fit in really nice...

The pink arrangement came from Andrea at The Cottage Market
and a giveaway that I won..super cute!!
Thanks Andrea!! :)



Macie is now two months old and growing so fast...so many smiles now too...

Yep, shes a keeper!

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday!

Hope you're staying warm, we are -6 as I write this and high of 2 degrees today...

Tuesday Treasure - My All Time Favorite Valentine Projects

Do you spend much time on Pinterest? I've been slowly going through my favorite list on my computer and moving them to my Pinterest boards...so much fun to see what I thought was a favorite.

And since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I wanted to show you some of my favorite Valentine projects off Pinterest.

I love this Valentine's tree  that's made with various scrapbook paper..

Then She Made

Seriously, who wouldn't love to receive one of these

organizers full of Valentine candy?

This free download Valentine printable is an easy way to show your love.

I love this love bird specimen picture...great way to use some of those

smaller pieces of scrapbook paper too!

Or how about making some chocolate covered pretzels?

I love all the sprinkles, so fun!



Peanut butter cookies are my favorite and adding a Dove chocolate....yummy!

I love the look of this vintage looking Valentine spool. All the color and the added Valentine would make this a fun gift to give.

You can find me here on Pinterest...

Now after looking at all of these idea, I need some chocolate....

Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday!
