To celebrate this awesome holiday, I thought it would be fun to have some highlights from my Valentine's Day linky party.

Michelle at Sweet Something Design made this lovely Carnation Rondure. Love how the red pops against the white dish. Rachel at Holy Craft made her husband a wedding band. How … continue reading

I thought it might be fun to take you "behind the post" to show you how an inspiration piece turns into a project/craft. Just a warning, I am very indecisive, as you will see....

I saw that and my heart started thumping like crazy. (does that happen to anyone else? please tell me I'm not the only … continue reading
