Craft-Valentine's Day

I thought it would be fun to show some of the projects I've done over the last couple of months. [Actually they will probably be out of order, so it's up to you to save them to your memory bank for when you want to try something new].

We decided to work on a few VD themed items to create a VD Center for our mantels. Much to Kerry's delight, the Joann's Store Headquarters are located less than two miles from The Drayer. [I'm pretty sure Sweet Sarah and Kerry's husband, Mark, aren't as delighted as we are about this!]

So we headed out and got a bunch of supplies. What started out as one project, turned in to three. We actually had to finish two of the projects on our own after the weekend was over. Here's what we came up with....
