TTUT - Do you get excited about VD?

 I got a text from a funny girl this morning.  It said "Happy VD" - totally made my morning!  What?  You don't joke incessantly about VD with your friends?  Whatever.

So is the big V-day a big deal around your house?  Here - not so much.  I mean we always get a little something for the kids, and help them get valentines prepared for their friends.  But really it's just another day around here - and I'm okay with that.  I'd rather my husband save his money to take me to soccer games.  And I KNOW he feels the same.  I probably will make him take me out to breakfast after I finish writing this post.  But that's more of a "craving Eggs Benedict" thing than a Valentine's Day thing.

Speaking of the kids' valentines.  Remember when I posted here about the last minute valentines that the kids and I put together?  Here's a reminder shot:




Well, we needed to come up with something for our really good friends who go to a different school as well.  And I wanted to do something a little more special than what the kids gave to their classmates.  I decided that we could give each of the kids a whole package of the cute Valentine's pencils with the cute little heart attached to it.  But as I went down the (extremely crowded) Valentine's aisle, I saw something even BETTER!  So here's what we did:



Don't you just love giant pencils??

Here's a size comparison:

I hope they like them!  And I hope Tanielle doesn't read my blog before we get a chance to deliver them!

In other news...I do have a Tackle It Tuesday I have been working on since LAST Tuesday - it's a biggie.  You'll have to wait until next week (I hope) for the reveal.

I'm linking up with the ever fabulous Shawn and IA for TTUT.

Seriously giant anything is better. And that definitely includes bars of chocolate...which I'm suddenly craving. Damn me for being so good at the grocery store last night.

Hope the kids love the VD gifts. And hope no one needs an antibiotic after VD day.

I am not a fan of the VD myself ;) I cannot stop saying it. Seriously...I'll stop.
I totally love to say Happy VD! And in high school, I really wished VD's on some skanky bitches.

I LOVED to write with ginormous pencils in school! That is a fabulous idea! I'm sure her friends will adore them!

Thanks for linking up with us Sweetness! xoxo

Oh I'd so be in. I love office supply type things, and pencils are included in that. Super cute. In fact I buy the giant ones for my step-daughter every time I find them.

VD...*snicker*

Valentine's is not a huge deal at our house, either. Usually keep it fairly simple.

And...you won my giveaway! Check your email~ I sent you info about how to get your "prize". :)

So cute, Xazmin!! I love big pencils...they're so fun to write with.

I was going to go all "mind-in-the-gutter" on this comment, but decided to keep it clean. ;)

Happy VD!

Happy VD! Spread the love!

See what I did there?

I'm a dork.

Darn it! jennykate77 beat me to the joke I was going to write. Glad I have a fellow dork around here. ;)

LOVE the giant pencils! And a great idea - I think I'll have to adopt that great idea for Princess Nagger next year. :)

Happy VD!

Valentine’s Day, (Possible) Near-Sighted Princess, The End of a Crappy Schedule

Those giant pencils are awesome! And I love the little quote that you attached to the gifts!!! Cute!!
I love the gint pencils AND the cute little heart quote! So precious! I didn't have time to do anything creative.

VD isn't a huge day around here either. I do not require presents. Although, I did get up and cook a good breakfast for them.

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t

Friend Makin' Monday and 100th post giveaway!

I just love Mondays! If you've never heard of Friend Makin' Monday , go to Kasey's to read all the rules and join in! I have met some of my best bloggy friends through FMM ! This week's task is to complete the following tag: 5 Senses Tag We are to list 4 things we love, and one thing we dislike, for each sense. Smell Like: 1. Pot roast in the oven! 2. Sunkissed Citrus Scentsy, and Melon Medley from the Walmart knock-off scents! 3. rubbing alcohol (I know, I need help) 4. along those same lines...nail polish and nail polish remover. Dislike: coffee Touch Like: 1. The click, click of the keyboard beneath my fingers! 2. back massage from my husband - he has magic hands! 3. an ice cold soda can on the back of my neck on a hot summer day! 4.Hot showers Dislike: Hot glue on my fingertips! Occupational hazard for me! Sound 1. My baby (okay she's 2 now!) whispering "secrets" in my ear. 2. My kiddo's giggles. 3. My husband's singing. He has a very nice si

What would a party be without us BOTH?

Y'all didn't really think we were gonna party seperately did you? Not when we have so much fun TOGETHER! And it's better this way, because it means you have TWO chances to win an awesome Blogiversary giveaway! One year ago today, Tanielle and I both started blogging. For me, I thought it might be a good way to promote our hairbow busines. But I quickly learned that the true value of my blog was in the wonderful women I've met and the wonderful friends I've made - some who have even become close friends outside of Bloggerville. I've laughed, cried, been inspired, and received the best comments from some of the smartest, funniest, kindest ladies I've ever known. Thank you all for all of it! And thank you Tanielle for partying with me, and for being one of the people I've had the most fun with in my life. Ever. 10 things I love about Tanielle 1. I love that she shares a maturity level equivalent to mine (in it's near non-existence!) 2. I love that s
