Valentine's Mailbox/Treat Box Blog Hop

Valentine's Mailbox/Treat Box Blog Hop

                                   Valentine's Day is just two weeks away and we wanted to see what kinds of mailboxes, boxes, and bags you make to give those special people in your lives. Join us for some amazing Valentine's inspiration in plenty of time for that special day and those special treats.

This hop has two hostesses today: Jearise from Lorby's World (http://lorbysworld....blogspot.com) and  Tee (http://tee-myspot.blogspot.com/). Make sure you visit their blogs because they have some special treats of their own to give away. They'll tell you more on their blogs.

Now on with the inspiration...
      We have always made bags,boxes or some type of holder with our children for Valentines Day. A crafty little project to hold the cards and goodies we exchange.You know the kind decorated kleenex boxes,shoes boxes, bags with open mouths to deposit all the sweet little notes and candy. But now that my kids are older thats just another tradition that kind of gets dropped by the holiday wayside. So this year I decided to make them little Valentine bags and fill them with love, treats and a homemade card of coarse. 

Here are the little gift bags I started decorating for My Hubby and kids.The Little bags I bought at walmart, 2 / $1.00 -I used  the Love Letter Bears from Scrapping with Lisa's Designs svg files. . I sized and cut these files using Make the Cut. Then pieced and glued them and attached them to the bag... I will probably embelish alot more before they are given. due to a trip to ER yesterday I'm lacking in the embelishing so far.  I hope you like these lil bags so far.
 
NOW ON THE BLOG CANDY... $15 in free files from Scrapping With Lisa's Designs. Here's what you need to do to win those files...One random winner will be chosen among everyone who goes to ...Scrapping with Lisa's Designs and become a follower and to Scrapping with Lisa's Designs Fan page  "like" her page And Tell her Jackie Sent you. I know your gonna love those files.

                                          ~Love Letters~

Blowing in The wind


Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


Today's craft challenge for Her Craft Krea8tions was to make something that "blows in the wind". Each design team member received beads, chimes, nightmare fishing line, a jingle bell, and a twirly thingie dooie (that's a technical term!). Everyone was encouraged to add things from their stash to make it their own and to go "green" without buying anything additional!!!!

With this all being said, everyone and the fishing line were not on "speaking terms". Lynne Kirsh had knots galore and would give up and pitch it and her one cat would return it expecting her either to throw again or finish ... your guess is as good as her's! Several never ever want to see fishing line again!!!!! Thus, the grand prize will be 100 yards of fishing line .... ha ha, just kidding!!!! It will be a surprise package to one lucky recipient that remarks on everyone's stop along the way!
    
I would love to show you beautiful wind chimes hanging from a tall weeping willow tree in the middle of a peaceful lush green landscape....Yep I'd love to but it's not gonna happen, because first of all I dont live near anything like that and second my wind chimes project was anything but beautiful. But as fate would have it, my mangled , knotted, tangled mess had tangles and knots in the the wrong places. My disaster of a project met its death as the end knots released and the beads fell and rolled into the darkness between my front porch slats never to be seen again.
      Since I feel like I cheated you out of a pic and a project due to a hungry front porch...How 'bout some blog Candy ??
Leave a comment on ALL my DT Sisters blogs , of course our DT Blog as well as this one, leave a way for me to contact you and one randon winner will be chosen for a Sweet Little Treat...Have a Great Day!!

The Design Team's project was to create a project as a Home Decor using at least two (2) of the files.

 ...Here's my project. Since we will be outside at the picnic table, I created a utensil & napkin holder. This is made from 3 cardboard tubes covered in cardstock in the holiday colors .These bears are just adorable and available in the digital stamps as well as SVG files.Either way they are just darlin'.
