Ballerina Keepsake Box

Wouldn't some special little girl just love this pretty ballerina keepsake box? Surprise her with her first jewelry piece all tucked inside! A sweet Valentine gift all on it's own!

Aren't these adorable? There's such a sweet look to vintage planters!

Valentine Crafting

I have to admit that Holiday crafting is one of my favorite reasons to craft! I have gotten a late start for Valentine's crafting this year, but hopefully not too late! These are in my Etsy shop and there will be more to come!!

I also have a couple of tussie mussies that are great to use for treat cups or to present to your valentine along with their gift or just to hang around the house!

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Lots of love,
