Show Me The Love

I'm having an affair.

With my glue gun.
After putting away 6 Tupperware boxes full
of Christmas decorations,
I had Larry take advantage of being
up in the attic and asked him to
bring down the Valentine's Day decorations.

All 1 of them.

After scouring handfuls of crafting blogs,
convincing friends to join me in a craft night
and warming up my handsome BEAU glue gun
I'm proud of my new decorations.

A friend suggested these easy-peesy
flowers for an upcoming spring wreath.
But I couldn't wait.
I had to try it.


I added them to this board I stenciled.


Since Mr. Hot was all warmed up
I made a banner, too.


Added a flower in the family sign.


Although I am cheating on my glue gun,
with the E600.
It's got a scent that could make you
goofy in the head!
The XO frames were done in 30 mins
(but if you add in 60 mins of girlfriend
chatting it does take a bit longer!)


This masterpiece is my pride & joy!
Not because it used up the most
Hot Glue,
but it is different.
Not the usual red/pink valentine's decorations.
And I got to make it for $7.

Last night I told Larry that
doing crafts makes me happy.
It has helped me feel like Rachel
and not just mom.
