Since Valentines Day Is only a few Days away I wanted to do a Home made Valentines Day Craft Blog :) 

What You Will Need:

8.5 x 11 construction paper or card stock in various colours and/or patterns
Valentine and/or heart stickers
Scissors
Pinking shears (optional)
Glue stick or white craft or school glue
Glitter (pink, red, white)

How You Make It:

1. Begin by cutting a piece of construction paper or card stock into four equal pieces. Fold quartered paper in half to make a card.

2. For the easiest version, appropriate for preschoolers, use stickers to decorate or cut out hearts from a different colour of construction paper or card stock to glue onto your cards. Experiment with different patterns, floral look great contrasted with stripes on a solid background.

3.Younger children love glitter! Use a bottle of glue to “draw” on a heart or phrase (such as “Be Mine”). Sprinkle glue generously with pink, red or white glitter and let dry over night. Tap off excess glitter when completely dry.

4.For the older set, let them use pinking sheers to cut out heart shapes and glue onto cards. Again, use contrasting patterns and colours to create a charming design.

5.Once glue is dry, cards may curl up a little. Place cards between the pages of a heavy cookbook or phone book and leave over night.

Wedding Update? Kinda.

So, I've been getting a ton of inbox messages about doing a wedding update.

I'm going to disappoint you all and say that I am going to wait to make wedding blogs because I'm going to do them separate from my daily blogs.

This doesn't mean that I dont want to talk about it.

So instead I'm going to share some of my favourite websites with you.

Sorry guys I've been so busy with trying to get things together for Tayes birthday, and making time for ourselves as a family. 

I really haven't had any time to make blogs so they have defiantly been lacking. I know I get disappointed to hear people say they are to busy to take ten minutes out of there day to make a blog, BUT I will addmit although i may have ten minutes to write a blog, I would much rather do the things around the house that need to be done, and also spend time with Dustin.

I promise I will try to get better just bare with me until after Tayes Birthday.

Wow I cannot believe its Feb 1 already!! Only 13 More Days to go until Tayes birthday!

 I got to watch my handsome little nephew again today! Such a nice little treat to have him around for Fayth to play with! Not to mention hes a total sweet heart! 

 Were really starting to think about Tayes party and what were going to do, and we defiantly need to go grab his birthday stuff :) I cannot believe he's going to be four, and I cannot believe that Fayth is already going to be 13 months old so soon! Where has the time gone.

 Fayth has been dealing with her cousin being over allot better than i thought, she isnt showing any sort of jealousy or any anger about me watching him.

 Taye and Fayth are so cute together, they are honestly the cutest kids ever (yes I know im bias)
