It's going to be a challenge to take a photo a day for 31 days, I hope I can do it.  Yummy berries!

Valentine for Dave.

I wanted to try and paint something for Dave but haven't come up with anything, I saw this box and decided to decorate it and put a Starbuck's gift card and a little love note inside. Used card stock and some pattern paper to decorate.  I wanted to keep the colors simple with a little pop of color. I'm happy with the way it came out.

We need to live in California !

                                                             Organic coffee and Tea

                                                                Organic green juice

Dave and I were guest speakers again for the Gersen Institute for Cancer in San Diego.  We were scheduled to speak on Sunday morning so on Saturday we went over to Little Italy and found out that every Saturday they have a farmer's market.   WOW and  WOW! We had the best time walking around and sampling all the goodies.  Everything was local and so yummy.  We loved the fresh juices that they had to offer.  I wish that I could buy everything organic in one place like a farmer's market.  It was so nice.   

My $3.00 Frame turned into a Valentine Mantel piece

I picked up this frame for $3.00 and I wanted to challenge myself to make something.  I painted the frame and then used burlap and made some paper flowers and it was that easy.
Over at www.rhonnadesigns.blogspot.com she shows how to make paper flowers and a free download.  I have been having lots of fun using The Kiss Me collection.  Still need to work on some Valentines.

Valentine Banner

We have lots of rain today so it was a good day to be inside crafting.  I love the way this Banner came out. I again used the Kiss Me Collection by Rhonna Designs,  all you have to do is print and cut and just add stuff. I wanted to go to my craft store today to see all the new stuff so I could add things to this Banner but instead I used what I had on hand and I'm happy with it.  I'm still working on more Ideas for my Mantel.

My Love Birds - Decorating for Valentines Day

I have the Spark to Decorate my Mantel - I have one ugly Mantel, no matter what I do it stays ugly.  This year I'm trying to make it look cute!  I was looking for some white Love Birds but couldn't find any so I used red birds instead.  I also used Rhonna Designs -Kiss me Collection for the cute hat and was Inspired by  Margie romney-aslett's Love, Love, Love class.  This project was pretty quick once you got the hat done.
Next I'm going to make a Banner using the same paper collection.

Happy Birthday Michelle

Today Michelle is 38!  This is one of my favorite pictures of us.  We were so young, I think Michelle was around 13 yrs old.  SO CUTE!
