Getting back to normal....

Or so I think....our tree is still up and so are the knick knacks...but by New years eve everything should find itself tucked away again till next year.  I hope that you all had a wonderous and magical holiday and were able to enjoy friends and family.   Ours was a quiet affair...but was lovely.  With three grandparents and one child it makes for a small gathering.  I am so glad though that we were able to be together another year.  It is especially important to me because my dh is working each week far away up by Portland and we only see him now on the weekend.  So thankful that he has a job though! 

 At this time of year I like to try to shoo away the Winter blues with the upcoming holiday Valentines Day. It has been nasty...wet and cold. So whipping up Valentine goodies are just what I need.  I think it is my most favorite to create for.  Something about the colors and the images that I adore.  Some might find it a silly "made up" holiday but I think it is sweet and nostalgic to give to someone you love.  Today I am sharing a few items I have been working on.   All done in soft pinks and blushes.   I recently bought some things directly from Maya Road...the heart bottlecaps and stitched tulle in bubblegum you see.  Love their stuff!  I recently had a birthday and decided to spoil myself a bit.  I will be back with some bright creations as well soon.  Well hope you enjoy and are keeping warm!  Hugs , cherry
