Went to a fun Musical / Play Crafts for Fun

I went last night with a friend to the La Mirada Theater to see "The Marvelous Wonderettes" it was hilarious and the singing was fantastic. If you have not heard of this musical it is a Broasway Musical Play written by Roger Bean. Lots of fun...we had a wonderful time... :) The gals start off at the prom and then after intermission they jump forward to 10 years later...truely lots of talent and humor for a very relaxing and fun evening. It was opening day too.... :)

Some Fun Valentine Crafts for Any Age

I was upstairs sorting out more patterns in my craft room and looked around the rooms and thought I would share...The picture here is my favorite reading and writing spot in my house. The light is bright and the chair is really comforable and I like the "shabby chic" appeal. :)

The secretary desk is what I inherited from my mom. It is so pretty and unique and something I will cherish. It has a pull down desk area for writing with little slots for envelopes and other items. :)

I like this quaint little china tea coaster set, it goes well with my pink hurricane lamp, :) The colors are pastel and they match with the wicker...

The pink lace hat wall hanging I got at an estate sale a few years ago and it fits well with the decor

Another favorite is a shabby chic wall hanging I found awhile back that is so pretty. I know it looks a little messy but this area is where I hung my plate collection and have a lot of my fat 1/4s and as you can see where my patterns are being sorted...sorry for the messiness...Another estate sale find is this Home Sweet Home heart hanging. I hung it bedie my music box collection that is in my built in curio cabinet. :)

And a pink crocheted hat I made last year. It is really comfortable...

i was surfing for Valentine crafts and ran across a few really great ones....I love easy crafts to whip up and my favorites are paper plate crafts, sock crafts, and over at PS they had the cutest foxy  pocketbook favor box  craft it is adorable and not too difficult, One of my favorite for any holiday is of course the very simple paper chain...this one is for Valentine's Day and stamped with heart designs. Its easy and all kids young and old have fun making them. :) then I saw this cute Valentine Garland that was made over at One Hour Craft that is so easy to do. She has a tutorial for it that is easy to follow and sew up in no time. They are so pretty. Lastly I thought I would post a little video on a Valentine Puffy. Enjoy!

Valentine Surprises

Ok here are two Valentine surprises from my DH when we first were dating. I met him at a Halloween party where I was Cleopatra and he was Don Johnson....the other is my car at my work parking lot. He came and wrapped it in paper towels and decorated it with hearts and balloons, then inside had tons of kids Valentine's stuck all over with a huge pink velvet heart bax filled with chocolates and a beautiful and romantic card. He is such a romantic guy....what fun.... 22 years later and he is still the romantic man...this Christmas he surprised me with a G-father clock that I have wanted for years....what isn't more romantic than an heirloom G-father clock... :)
