It was that time of year....the infamous Valentine's craft swap party with the ladies! This is the best party theme ever, you make a craft for all the people there (as well as everyone else) and give and receive crafts. So I made 13 pillows and received 13 different handmade crafts. I had so much fun chatting way past my bedtime, we all shared past secrets (like one lady is a secret chronic skinny dipper...I won't name names). It was seriously a blast.
I made the strawberry trifle cake....it was a struggle. But loving who brought the mini cupcakes.
Freezer papered pillow my buddy Brenna made. SO DARLING.
Mmmmm....healthy.
Kim (the lady in the last photo) has the cutest house, she is a queen crafter. She is amazing.
Awesome crafters.
What I made..tutorial coming soon.
Linen wreath cut with a scalloped rotary cutter. BEAUTIFUL.
Mini Valentine's banner, want to make one for a different holiday. Seriously cute.
The loot! Check out all the bags full of craft goodies!
Happy Birthday Kim!
these are great photos! looks like a great time!

I've just found your blog and now all I want to do is go make things. My fiance is going to be really upset. I love all the pretty Valentine's inspirations in this post and feel like I should probably spruce up my house a bit. Seriously loving that "Love" pillow. I'm now following you so that I don't miss anything else. Looking forward to reading through your archives :)
