Be My Valentine



I have been having fun with the Valentine's Day theme. 
I save all of those sticks that come with scented oil.  
Here I used one to make the bow  and one to make the arrow. 
They smell good, too:)
***********



Everyone that follows my blog,
 knows that I love using sheet music.
***********



Here I covered a piece of foam core board with sheet music 
to make the canvas for my collage.
***********


All We Need Is Love
***********


A Closer Look.

This was so much fun to make,
notice John's glasses.
I've been enjoying Steam-punk 
and wanted to experiment.
***********



Here's my top hat, with a new hat band.
***********



Some of you may remember this garland. 
I have it in my pink bedroom.  
It was a goodwill find :)
***********

My intention with this post,
was to spread a little love.
I hope I succeeded:)

I love you all,
you sweetie pie blogging sisters.
Connie

  7. Hello Connie, Thank you for coming to my blog.I had the pleasure of looking at your blog home and WOW, it was fun. I look forward to knowing you. Our little Finley is about 10 pounds of love, and he is doing just fine. He goes to the Vet this morning and I am sure it will be good news. I haven't been doing a lot of crafts, but it is something I love. We have been working on our house this past few months and it takes up a lot of my time. I live in a 1906 cottage farm house that we continue to give TLC. I live in Nampa, Idaho and love our little farm. Welcome to my world, it may be small, but filled with love, again thank you for coming to see me. Mary

    1. Hi Barb, it is lovely to have you visit. I'm happy that you like my collage and my top hat. That top hat was a paper project that I thought about for a long while before deciding how I was going to create it. That is the fun of trying something new . . . for me the first time I try something new, is also the most exciting. New techniques may become more honed with time, but the first time is always the most adventurous :) Thank you again for visiting and do come again :)
