Mini Valentine

**Don't forget to enter the giveaway. Ends Friday @ Midnight**

How cute are these cards?!?!?

I found the most adorable book of Valentine Love Notes from Hallmark last year. And they have been sitting in my craft room since then. :) I pulled them out this year during our "girls night in" crafting party. One of the ladies gave me a little bag of gift tag cards she hadn't used. So, i decided to use those papers to make cute little lunch bag love notes!

     

Something I have started doing (ok, am going to start! lol) is putting a little note of encouragement into the hubs lunch bag. (yes he takes a sack lunch to work every day and yes I get up every morning to make it) I really want to put a scripture reference in the card to see him through his day. I think he would appreciate that more than some sappy little marketed line. Just being honest. He is not a lovey dovey kinda guy. 

     

I hope this gives someone some inspiration to make cute mini Valentine's cards, or to send some extra love to their hubbies during the day. You know they deserve to be reminded of their value. And who doesn't like that extra boost?

        

Repurposing your items

I sometimes find that the best form of retail therapy is to shop my house. Ok, reeeally, it's my husbands best form for me :-) lol.

I do enjoy finding new purposes for items that I truly love, that are not being used to their full potential. It typically goes like this: I am at (the store) when I spy something I cannot live without. Where will it go? How will I use it? Hmmm, I have no clue, but it's coming home with me anyway! 

I know once I get it home inspiration will strike (who cares if it's a year later, right?) :) Case in point: I purchased this tiered desert stand from a blogger. I was In Love with it, but had no "home" for it. The price was Amazing so I just could not resist. It sat on top of my hutch for about 3 months. Then, about a week ago, I had an amazing idea! 

I have been on the hunt for a smaller jewellery box but could not find one that suited the style in my room, or personal taste. As I was rearranging my room (per the nester's instructions) I thought, how would that tiered do-dad work?

I love it so much and I can not believe it took me that long to think of it! (please don't mind the dresser-that is an "I am refinishing this thing!" project taking place this spring!) :-)

So go see what you can find. Shop your house (or your sisters, mothers, brothers, neighbors, friends) and see what fun exciting things you can find (or steal from others-jk :) to repurpose. Be sure to send me a photo! I love to see how you reuse those "old" items.

The Letter 'B'

Marci over at All Things Wonderful is hosting a game, which was passed by another blogger.

SO...here is goes:

2. bottles - the vintage type

3. Books! I love me a good book, the kind I can't put down
