Love is in the Air...

Wow...another Valentines Day is quickly approaching!  Every year I have big ambitions of creating all of these cute little handmade gifts and cards for everyone...but like most things in my life, I never get to them!  There always seems to be something else to do or something else catches my attention.  The main thing that always seems to be in my way is the TV.  I have got to stop watching that thing or I just need to get one in my office...well maybe someday!  The more and more TV I watch the more and more I just want to sleep and that is making me LAZY.  So starting on the weekends I will no longer be watching any television, unless there is something that I really really want to watch!  Or, I can just record it!  I have been blessed with this amazing house that has an amazing craft room/office for me and I need to use it!  So yesterday and today I got inspired!  

Yesterday I went with my mother-in-law to an AMAZING scrapbook store and found lots of cute Valentines ideas.  While they won't be done for this year, who says I can't spread the love throughout the year!  So my plan is to give my wonderful husband a little bit of Valentines Day throughout the year! 

I spent last over at my friend Cindi's house and along with a really great group of women we crafted in our PJs.  It was tons of fun and I was actually finishing different projects and starting more than I probably should of!  I did make these little paper bags that are super cute and small.  They are the perfect size to put different Mary Kay samples in to give to different customers and other amazing women that I meet throughout my day.  This particular bag that I made is for a Valentines theme but I will have different styles for different times of the year.  I was given the idea for the bag from my friend Cindi, who showed us during one of her workshops how to make a purse out of paper.  I took that idea and scaled it down and played with different measurements to come up with my "Mini Sample Bag".   It is cute and it incorporates 2 different things that I love in my life, crafting and make up.

I am going to spend this next week getting all of my ideas onto paper so that I don't have tons of unfinished projects started.  Look for more creative ideas and pictures to come!!  

Happy Crafting!
