How's that for a random title? :)
For the first time in my kids' entire school career I had to help my littlest make a Valentine box. Weird. I don't know how we've never had to to this before - I guess they made them in class or something. I was a little intimidated and was just going to buy a pre-made one. But what kind of crafter would I be if I didn't do it myself. Here is what I came up with.
It was actually quite simple. I covered a frozen waffle box with red polka dot wrapping paper, then used a heart shaped doily and letter stickers. (He later covered it with Star Wars, soccer ball, monster truck and guitar stickers). When my biggest saw his brother's box, he declared that I needed one and made one for me just like it. So sweet!!
For the valentines to hand out to his class mates we made these. They are inspired by something I saw on pinterest.

I have received a few questions lately about past projects and so I'm going to answer them all here.
I was asked how the fabric in my office chair makeover is holding up. It is holding up perfectly. It looks as good now as it did when I recovered the chair almost 6 months ago. I'm not super careful and my kids love to plop down in my chair and I have not had any problems!!
I was asked what size jar I used in my memory jar. It is a vintage jar from a flea market. I bought it for it's really interesting shape- kind of flat. I think it would probably equate to today's quart sized jars.
I was asked where I got the shutters shown in last Spring. I got them at the flea market as well. They were a funky yellow color, so I just spray painted them red.
Here is where I am using them now...
