it seems all holidays are going to roll into celebrating all month long. that's the way it goes with a 2 month little r :) yesterday we went to visit mr.handsome and his wonderful co-workers for lunch. we brought sweet presents for our dear friends. a little late valentine's love is always better late than never :P
I made french vanilla cupcakes in gold liners. I dyed the mix a soft petal pink. I bit into the cupcake to take a picture after snapping this shot... i wanted to show the pink cake under all that frosting... but somehow didn't put the cupcake down and just scarfed it down.
oops.
;)
i swirled caramel sauce over the frosting and added a dash of salt ( mr.handsome's idea :) and finished them off with pretty mini pink heart sprinkles ( from jo-ann's ). they were pretty darn good. i wish i could send you one. all i got to share is a pretty picture. alas. xo
we also gave each of our friends a little chevron baggie with 2 dove chocolates inside. i LOVE dove anything. i especially love that little message inside each one :)
these pretty little bags will be making there way into the shop tomorrow. i love. i adore and i really can't stop filling them with everything and sewing them up. :)
i added a few tags i designed especially for valentines. sweet love indeed.
i added a bit of sequin love ( also from Inspire Lovely ) for some extra sparkle and shine. love the glam.
we only used the red and pink bags this time but the shop will also be stocked with yellow, black, aqua, green & note book bags. i love color. i also LOVE cute bags. but i love giving lovely packages the most :)
i can't wait. the shop will go live tomorrow, Saturday and i hope you will come and swing by to wander the shop once again. and just for fun, i would love to give a $10.00 credit to 2 lovelies to our Inspire Lovely shop ( Excludes shipping cost. International entries always welcome. :)
So you could be a winner! it might be you. you never know, you could win something this time :P
( i always say i never win anything but i actually did one time! yay for free stuff :)
so with that excitement please leave a comment just saying hi, tell me something fun you've done or share a link to your site to show me something you've made. i love sharing and i would love to see what's going on in your little corner of the world. :) Oh and leave your name and where you are from. i hope to pick one international & one domestic winner. I will pick a winner soon!

hi there- so glad your shop is open again. found you site from a link to the journaling tags on a project life post. love them and got to have some, but there are so many colors to choose from...
haven't updated my blog recently but i will share something fun. we just had an angry bird birthday party for my just turned 7 year old. I made two pinatas one red bird and one green pig, I couldn't bear to see them both smashed so we just let the kids have at the pig, and they had a great time! the red bird is noe sitting on my sons dresser in its grapevine wreath bird nest. It was alot of work but I had a blast in the party prep!

Debee I think of you often and just want to say I remember this time when my babies were young like it was yesterday. enjoy it. it goes by so quickly. all your talents will be even more as you grow as a mother. It just doesn't always look the same. sending you love and a prayer tonight.
