Host a Valentine Making Party!

Jan 28

So guys, Valentines Day is just around the corner! I know it’s not the biggest holiday, but perhaps it’s the cutest?  So until February 14th, that’s what’s going to be happening here.

Today I have a super simple valentine card making party for you! It’s quick and easy to throw together, and was so much fun to get together as friends and craft like kids again. Plus… glitter. And lots of it.

This also solved one of my frustrations: I love sending cards and mail for every occasion… but we’ve covered that. Since the babes, I’ve been really awful at actually sending mail. I’ve pulled out lots of cards… even written in some. I’ve bought stamps. But do you think I could get that mail out the door? If I’m going to get anything done around here, I need to include someone else in my plan.

So here’s the details: Gather up your crafting supplies. I think it’s best to keep it basic, just have one type of card to make so you can enjoy the conversation. I picked up some ready to craft cards with envelopes, glue pens, and coordinating glitters. I put the glitters in mini cupcake liners to make it easy to shake over the glue.

I knew things would get messy so dressed up some paper with guests’ names to use to gather the glitter. I served some festive drinks and snacks (not in this picture) and pulled it together with a carnation centerpiece (I’ll be showing you how to make that later this week!).

I had so much fun crafting like kiddos- so much, that I don’t even mind showing you how much some of my valentines look like they were made by a 9 year old!

We joked that now we just need to make enough friends to send them all to. Pen-pals… you know what to expect!

Any reason to get together is a good one and Valentines Day is a great one. Now grab some friends and glitter like you’ve never seen the stuff before!

      Guilty… I’m watching it too! This would be a great Bachelor night activity… maybe wine instead of juice though!

Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ry Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ryobi_canada and I want to help you start knocking those projects off your list by giving away a new nailer and battery set! #ad 
This tool is what we used for this accent wall and all the trim in our home. It’s the one I used to trim out my built in shelving and add the decorative moulding to my geometric barn door. What I’m saying is this thing is a workhorse and I want you to have one too 😉

Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘st Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘station’ and the second photo is my dads! I’m talking aaaall about them over on YT today!
Also... see how nice that fresh silicone looks?! 😉 IYKYK
The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰

This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃 
My #holidayhometour is on the blog and YouTube (I’ll put links in my stories) as part of the #seasonalsimplicity holiday home tour series. I’ll share those too so you don’t miss any!
