Quick Post

Happy Monday all! Sorry for the lack of shares on my blog. Between my son getting sick, my Birthday last Wednesday and TBall stuff..let's just say things have been crazy. Did I mention my son was home 2 weeks for Break??? YIKES!!! Oh, and I lost all my photos so I need to take them all over again. UGH! Oh, and I have been in Big Bear with Hubby. My Birthday gift from him! Let me show you what we woke up to this morning!  I do have to say it is absolutely beautiful.

When we opened our front door this morning this is what we saw. OMG!!! And the snow was falling outside. I  have never been in the snow like this. I have never seen it falling as it is right now!  It is cold but it is beautiful!  The next photo is from across our cabin which is really nice.

 

 

DSC03232 LOVE that house! We are staying at the Timber Haven Lodge in Big Bear. Really nice.  Cold but nice. So we'll be staying in doors and ordering food! LOL!!! Pizza anywhere???? Anyway, will be back home tomorrow and will get photos retaken and get to Blogging and sharing.

Sorry to have been MIA yet again! Had lots going on last week preparing for projects for my Son's Kindergarten Class. Then he ended up getting sick on Wednesday and wasn't even able to make it on the last day to Easter Egg hunt! ; ( He was so bummed. But he ended up with an Ear Infection and on top of that with the stomach flu. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week he was up getting sick! UGH! But he is much better now lots more energy so am trying to get caught up! Will post a special tomorrow!

Happy Stampin',

Late Valentine Box Share

Valentine Box Front This was the gift I gave to my Son's Kindergarten Teacher! I hope she liked it! I've made this box before but I changed up the measurements to the bottom of the box.

Again this idea came from "Margaret Gruse". It was a Make 'n' Take I went to! Super easy box. I am taking photos to post a little later or early tomorrow morning so you can see where I cut the bottom of the box. So stay tuned!

Here goes the recipe:
Stamp Set: I {Heart} Heart set, Holiday Best (Hostess set)
Card Stock: Real Red, Whisper White, Brushed Silver
Ink: Real Red, Silver Encore
Accessories: Silver eyelets, White Organza Ribbon, Dazzling Diamond Glitter, Dimensionals

Valentine Box side 
Measurements: Lid & Box both measure
8 1/2 x 5 1/2

Score the Lid at 3 1/2 and at 5

Score the Box on the 5 1/2 inch side at 1 3/8 and 4 1/8
Score the 8 1/2 inch side at 2 and 6 1/2

Happy Stampin',

Valentine Box Open 
The inside of the box is pretty big and holds a "generous" amount of choclates. This was just for the photo I ended up putting the Peanut Butter Hearts in there about 6 or 8 fit maybe more. YUMMY! LOL!

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask! 

 

Hello All! Ok, first I have to apologize for the lack of posting. I had gotten an order for some invitations and THOUGHT I had set all my posts and realized last night that I never set them! UGH! I am still going to share some cards with you all. Hope you all had a Happy Valentines Day!

Thank for stopping by and be prepared to be bombarded starting tonight! LOL! Also Video is in the works!!!
