Super Easy Valentine's Day Wreath ~

As I was talking to my lovely Sister-in-Law last night, I began cutting out hearts. I don't know what it is about cutting out heart shapes, but it is like being a kid again. So after I had a pile of hearts, I began assembling a heart wreath. Here are the supplies I used.

Here is a wreath I picked up at Micheals awhile back that keeps transforming as the seasons change.


I attached it to my circular mirror in my kitchen and began inserting hearts. I just shoved the paper in between the grapevines - no tape or glue required here.

After I had all of my music hearts in, I inserted the red.

And after the red, I thought it needed just a bit more of "something". So I turned to my computer and printed out a few Valentine words and phrases.

So here was my kitchen corner before...

And after...

I posted over at A Soft Place to Land DIY Day...

I also added this project to a Valentine linky party over at Someday Crafts.

Monica's Amazing Kitchen ~

A few years ago, our dear family friends began remodeling
transforming their newly bought home into the most beautiful home I have ever stepped foot in! Ever room in their lovely home could and should be featured in a home magazine - truly every detail is stunning. Seattle Homes & Lifestyle Magazine has featured their kitchen in the latest issue. Here are the great images of La Cucina Dolci...try not to drool.

(Her kitchen was also featured in Distinctive Kitchen Solutions in the Summer/Fall 09 issue).

Monica has also started La Famiglia Design, a blog on decor and entertaining be sure to check it out!

A Little Hit of Spring ~

It is a rainy day in the Northwest today so I decided to pull these out. My Mom went to the Chelsea Flower Show in London last Spring and I have been meaning to post these amazing photos ever since. I hope you enjoy!

Aargh, Pirate Party Part 2 ~

So our pirate adventure continues...The invitations went out to the entire crew. I completely borrowed the idea from The Celebration Shoppe. They also have a blog full of great ideas!

After the shipmates grabbed their sword, hat and parrots, it was onto the kitchen or Good Ole Proctor's Galley matey.

Complete with Shiver me Timbers Bagels and Cream Cheese.

And Black Beards' PB & J.

Of course a pirates adventure isn't complete without cupcakes arr!

I got the idea for these cupcake tags from TomKat Studio - I am in love with her blog!

After the buccaneers grubbed on their cupcakes, they had to wash it down with Aye Pirates Hearty Ale (aka Lemonade).

And last but definitely not least, the pirate crew had the best matey to lead the adventure....my matey and darling hubby!
