Before I put away the Christmas pine cones from last year, I decided to paint and add glitter to a few. I painted them with silver spray paint. After they were dry, I glued silver glitter on. I think they came out pretty good!
I need a craft for this coming weekend. My vintage photo book is almost done but on hold until I get some folks identified in the pictures.
So this weekend I will make handmade Valentine’s. I’m not sure what I’ll do exactly but I’ve got plenty of ideas on Pinterest. I plan to make them with things I already have. I can’t wait!
I have a box full of old black and white photographs of family. They go back in time to my grandmother as a girl (early 1900s) to as recent as me as a baby (1964). I plan to make a photo book with the best pictures and share names and things I remember about the family members. I plan to make one book for me and a copy each for my brother and sister for Christmas.
First I chose the pictures I wanted in the book. The next step is scanning the pictures. That is not my favorite step but it is highly important.
Next I will upload to Shutterfly, choose a book format, and arrange in a book.
I am excited about the project because it involves craft, history and family.
I made a book for my husband for Valentine’s Day. Luckily he doesn’t read this blog.
I started out with this idea I found on Pinterest.

I decided to make it in a photo book format even though I wasn’t going to use many photos. I made one on Shutterfly. If you’d like to see it, please do!

Now that Christmas is over, it’s all about Valentine’s Day in the grocery store and on Pinterest. I think I will bake these for my husband and give them to him in a red cardboard box. They are called Boyfriend Brownies and they are:
1 scoop brownie batter + 1 scoop chocolate chip cookie dough.
My husband is my husband not my boyfriend. But he’s my boyfriend too. This reminds me of a joke my husband tells:
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No, my wife won’t let me.”
