Valentine's Banners

Friends. I don't have too many close friends, as I once so naively believed, but the ones I do have are amazing! I'm so thankful for these Godly women and the time they invest in our friendships! We had so much fun today crafting and playing games.

The gals sewed felt Valentine banners
Rochelle & Megs made a great team
Holly got creative with fabric & felt
Anne's was LONG and had amazing details!
Molly was last to arrive and first one done!
My tiny birdie banner
The guys played Runebound
The girls were creative with their own games
And Elam was a joy!
Bexar also loved being included.
I felt so very blessed to share this day with them!

I'm delighted to join Ann Voskamp and many others in giving thanks to the Giver of all things.

It's all about the bling!

What can I say?! Liessa's boot needed a little bling!

Front: I hand-sewed the pink polka dots onto the inside liner (in case she needed to wash it).

Outside: Pink rhinestones were added to the shell and velcro tabs with hot glue.

Inside: Nothing really on the inside except the butterfly on the top. Butterflies were iron-on transfers that I taped on with ultra-sticky tape.

Back: Found some cute crown brads with pink rhinestones and tied on some ribbon through the holes in the back.

All in all, we loved it and thought it turned out pretty cute...much cuter than the plain-ol' black!
