I've decided since I don't have as much time anymore (because I am working and trying to take care of my kids) that I am going to post things I want to make, and when I get around to making my own I will post pictures!

I saw these cute little blocks and I think they would make a great Valentines decoration!

I saw them here at Brown Paper Packages.

Joy Blocks!

So this year I had a bunch of crafts I wanted to do before Christmas! This is one that I didn't get done until after Christmas, but it is going to be really cute for next year! :)
