The Last of the Valentines Goodies for 2012

Good Saturday evening, Prim Friends! I hope everyone is relaxing and enjoying it to the fullest! :)  I imagine many of you are excited about the BIG Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow.  I'm not so much into the whole Super Bowl scene, so I'll be busy doing other things, but wish you each a fab "game day" and here's to your favorite team!  :D

Well, I've come in the middle of making supper again, so I'll have to keep this "short & sweet."  These are the last of the Valentines Goodies for this year.  Starting tomorrow, I'll be moving on to "Everyday Prims" and planning for the next Holiday, as well.

The first photos are of those Valentines Rag Ball Baskets I showed you in the last post.  At the time, they weren't complete, and though I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do to "finish them off," I did manage to come up with something I was happy with.  Here they are : 

  

*Don't forget to "click the pic" to enlarge*

Next up, I have three vintage decanters that I decked out all "In the Name of L♥ve."  *giggle*  These are filled with pink tinted epsom salts and silver glitter.  The heart picks and cupid labels are dipped/brushed in the same epsom salt/glitter mix.  I've had these decanters for years, and finally decided to let someone else enjoy them... I hope *someone* will, anyway.  :)

"Rear View"

And finally, for the last of the Valentines crafts, here are two recycled olive jars I "transformed."  I stuffed them with pink crinkled raffia, added a couple of vintage Valentine images as labels, tied off with a strip of scrap fabric, then diamond dusted everything all up!

And, once again, that's all for now!

As always, thank you so, so much for stopping by!

Valentines Hearts Salt-Dough Ornies (and more) ~Part Two~

Good eve'nin' everyone! 

~QUICK POST~

Here are a few of the Valentines Day things I've been working on over the past couple of days, and I wanted to be sure to share with you, as I'm not sure when I'll make it back this week.  In case you didn't know, a close friend of mine is finally going to give birth to her baby girl tomorrow (we are going in to have her labor induced tomorrow morning, sometime), and I am her "coach'" as her hubby is working out of the country.  Her other children will be staying with us until she returns home from the hospital.

And on to the share...

The baskets of rag balls are incomplete, as I am going to add a few finishing touches to them, but just haven't had time yet today.  I will be sure to get a couple of pics of those when they are complete, though.

Hope everyone is having a FAB new week, thus far.  

Here's what's ready for the shoppe...

  

These Valentines Heart Salt-Dough Ornies are the end product of the photos I shared in my last post...

  

These are packaged Faux Valentines "Sugar Cookies"...

  

Aren't they cute?!  I love them!!!

  

Plain and simple spiced-dough ornies (with sentiments) that I made last year, and finally decided to do something with...

  

I even tried my hand at some handmade gift tags for the first time.  I made just six of each (white/red and stained/black) just to see if they might do well... we shall see.  I love these, too!  :)

 Well, that's about it!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya soon!

♥Blessings♥

 

Valentines Hearts Salt-Dough Ornies ~Part One~

Sure hope they'll be a "Part Two" to this!  LOL  Say a lil' prayer! Valentines Salt Dough Ornies are now in the oven thanks to Tina over at Tattered Sisters Primitives!   Tina shared a tutorial yesterday for Primitive Hearts Dough Ornies, and though it was something already "in the plans" for me, she inspired me to get up and JUST DEWIT!  Thanks, Tina!  :D

I do have a "vision" so I sure hope they come out okay!

*fingers crossed*

I just used a simple salt-dough recipe, and kneaded in regular ole' red food coloring to this batch, but Tina's Primitive Dough Recipe sounds YUMMY!   I can't wait to try it!  :) 

Next, I think I will try my hand at some more [faux] "Frosted Sugar Cookies" that I did make last year, but never shared, as I never made enough to take down to the shoppe... and they were simply an "experiment."  After pulling them out a few days ago, I loved them so much (don't know WHY I didn't make more last year!?) I decided to definitely do some up for sell this time around.  When they're finished, I'll surely share!  ;) 

Happy Day!

PIT STOP! Sharing Finished Magents...

Good afternoon friends! 

Much has been going on in my world, so this is going to be a fairly quick post.  I am on a mission to share these photos with you BEFORE the power goes out again.  I've no crystal ball or anything, BUT with the weather, and two power outages over the past two days (or has it been three?), it certainly wouldn't surprise me! 

To find out more about all that, you can visit The Prim ~n~ Proper Shoppe's facebook page, if you get a moment and are feelin' froggy!  ;)

I pray everyone has been safe, sound, and warm!  For all of you dealing with severe winter weather conditions, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  ♥  

Here are the Valentines Magnets I was able to finish up.  Photos show this years "new version" and also some from last year, so you could "compare."  This year, I used brown paper sacks for the background.  I crinkled it all up, laid it flat, stamped it all up with a "Be Mine" stamp, then added all the "sentiments."  I'm also including some others in celebration of Christ's Resurrection.  They are made from children's stickers I picked up at the Dollar Tree last summer.  I really love them, but had a hard time capturing them on camera.  I suppose it may have helped if I'd have wiped them down first...  they still have mod podge spots on them -oops!  ANYWAY- When I get some more made up, hopefully I can get some better pics for you.  :)  

Okay, here goes...

Valentines Magnets

This year's version.

Close-up.

These are leftovers from last year.  No "stamping" on the brown background, and I can't recall what kind of paper background it was, but it wasn't from brown paper sacks.

"Comparison"

All of them "mixed" together.

Christ's Resurrection Magnets

Okay, back to Life!  Thanks for having a looky-loo, and have a FANTASTIC weekend!
