I'm so excited that Sarah invited me to share
a few of my Valentines Day crafts here today!
I have to admit that Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays,
even as a girl I loved making heart paper valentines and
taping little candies to them.
I love being able to tell those around me how much they mean to me.
It also gives me an opportunity to cover my house with
all things pink and red. Ha!
Pipe Cleaner Trees
These little mini trees are my favorite decoration in the house right now.
These little mini trees are my favorite decoration in the house right now.
Its like having a little pink and red forest at your fingertips!
Swoon!
You will need:
* Pipe cleaners
* Wine cork {cut in half}
* Scissors
1. You will need to cut some of your pipe cleaners in half and some in fourths.
2. Take one of your half size pipe cleaners and make a loop at the top,
this will make your heart on the top of your tree.
3. Take your pipe cleaners that are cut in fourths {the smallest ones}
and start wrapping them around your looped pipe cleaner,
this will be the "trunk" of your tree.
Repeat this with your pieces until half of your tree is full.
4. Then take your half sizes and start wrapping those around the trunk.
5. Poke a hole in your wine cork and stick the bottom of the trunk into the trunk.
6. Bend the top loop of your tree into a heart.
Heart Pipe Cleaner Glasses
My boys thought I was super goofy after we made these glasses
and I wore them around the house.
Don't they know me already?
These are super easy and fun!
1. Make two hearts
2. Connect hearts with small piece of pipe cleaner
3. Cut a long piece of pipe cleaner in half and make two ear pieces
{or whatever the real name for them is} ha!
Can you tell that I have some serious love for pipe cleaners?
They are just so fun and easy for little ones to create with.
Loves.
I hope Valentines Day is sweet for all of you friends!

"the girl behind the blog" video blog!
/ok so here goes!
I'm linking up
Just a way to "introduce" myself in a new way to all you bloggy friends!
(FYI i really don't like myself on tape, so be nice, mmmkay?)
ps. for some reason my voice and my mouth are off on the video...
SO frustrating but I cant figure out how to fix it! sorry!.
signing off.
over and out.
Yall have a blessed day!
and go watch more Vlogs here:
prayers and potties
/Potties and Prayers.
That's what I am committing my next three days to,
with an all-out focus
that I know the Lord will give me,
because He's asked it of me.
Yes, even about the potty part...
I am embarking this weekend on some
hard-core potty training
for my sweet little girl...
Ill share more about the method we're using in a different post.
(when did she get this big?!)
She's so ready. And so am I.
I'm proud of her already, I know she will do great.
I have prayed for the Lord to show me when the perfect time is to do this,
and I feel like He said now.
And I also feel like He has asked me to have
a renewed focus on prayer.
There's lots in my life that needs commitment to praying about,
that I have just gotten by with, crying out to Him in crisis,
rather than "being" with Him throughout every moment.
To be in His Presence, that's what I need.
So I will miss my blogging for a few days,
but will pick back up next week.
I look forward to reporting to you
about how things are going,
with the potty training, as well as with the time spent with the Lord.
I'm hopeful it will all be good.
I'm praying that this weekend of committing to the potty and to prayer,
will be a life-changing weekend for both of us. :)
