Valentine’s Day Cards
I made 4 cards this week, they are small and cute and can even be used as tags. At only 3x3 inches they will print very quickly and easily.

I also made a Subway Art Valentine Printable from 1 Corinthians 13 for you to print as well, if you'd like. … [Read more...]

Lady Bug Theme Birthday Party
My Princess loves lady bugs. So, instead of choosing a cartoon character this year for her birthday theme, we decided to let her dress up as a lady bug and throw her a lady bug theme birthday party. I made my own lady bug cupcakes, bought red handled bags (and put lady bug stickers on them), filled them with red and black toys and candy, and bought red and black plates, cups, and napkins. We had fun! The cupcakes were a hit, even if they were very time consuming to make. Thank you … [Read more...]
