Valentine's Day 2013

Cyrus & Craig had some beautiful flowers delivered on Valentine's Day-Cyrus told Craig he HAD to give his "Mama" some flowers! Sweet-Sweet-Boys! 

My little buddy Cam testing out my Valentine's Day strawberry cupcakes! 

Cyrus showing off the goodies he got me! 

p.s. Check out the stuffed dog-he talked Craig into 

getting this for me and promptly told me it was for himself! 

Lavender & Pink Strawberry Valentine's Day Cupcakes! 

Craig & I finally got to have a "date night" & enjoyed dinner together at Ruby Tuesdays'. 

Cy snapped a photo of us once we got home. 

Things I've found on Pinterest

So, my new addiction is Pinterest. 

If you haven't heard of it, you're missing out! 

It's an online cork-board type website that allows people to post links from their blogs or other websites.

It's FULL of good DIY-ideas, craft ideas, kids/parenting/life tips, etc etc. 

I love it & have found so much good information. 

I have made/tried/created a few things from Pinterest...

For Dr. Suess's Birthday we made "Cat In The Hat" Marshmallow  Pops

Here's the link to where I found it.

These were super easy to make & lots of fun! 

Just marshmallows, red fruit roll-ups & wooden skewers. 

At Christmas time we made paint swirled ornaments.

I purchased clear glass ornaments from the craft store & assorted colors of acrylic paint. 

Basically just squirt paint inside randomly, swirl it around & let it sit upside down to dry. 

Here's the link to the original idea.

For Valentine's Day this year, Cyrus's teacher asked if I would 

come help the class make a craft at their Valentine's Day party. 

I found this on Pinterest & it was a big hit. 

The kids had a blast, got a bit' messy & had something to bring home to Mom & Dad. 

Here's the link to the original idea.

And...I learned an EASY trick for heart nail art!

If I can do this...anyone can! 

SO, there have been a few other things I have tried that I discovered on Pinterest but I'll save those for another day. 

If you haven't seen Pinterest...Go check it out! NOW! 

You will love it! 

P.S. Just to clarify-NONE of these were my original ideas.

 All ideas came from other SMART & CRAFTY women who posted these ideas on pinterest. 

These are my photos, but not my ideas.
