X's and O's

I'm really out of control with all of the V-day crafts I'm making! haha...but I love it, so that's all that matters! So here I've made some x's and o's to display around the house. Very easy!

Supplies:

- 2 "x" and 2 "o" chip board letters

- scrapbook paper

- any embellishments that you want

- Mod Podge

- glue gun

- scissors

First I traced each letter on whatever paper I wanted to use for that particular one. Then cut out.

Next, I used Mod Podge to glue it on.


Then, I added some embellishments. That's it...simple! All I had to buy were the letters and they were 2 for $ 1.00 at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago. I love them! =]


I switched this one up a bit and used two different papers.



I'll be linking this up to these spectacular blogs:

Hoo are you?

1. Are you fond of cooking?
I love to cook, but hate cleaning up dishes! So, we tend to eat out quite a bit. My husband and I both are terrible about washing dishes! =/

2. What kind of food do you prefer eating when you are out?
It seems that we usually lean towards steak or somewhere like Chili's/Applebee's. But I love Italian and Mexican food!

3. Which do you prefer, sweet or salty?
I have an absolute terrible sweet tooth!

4. Where is the last place you ate out at?
The last place we actually went to eat was Outback, I believe. However, we ordered pizza last night!

5. What's for dinner tonight?
Well, I broke down and made dinner, because we got about 6 inches of snow today and hubby didn't want to go get anything. I made something along the lines of an enchilada lasagna. I don't really know what it's called, but it was yummy. And we also had Mexican rice! =]

Epsom salt V-day candle

Check out my new weekend link party "wonderful weekend" going on now until Sunday night! Let's get the word out and get some more link ups! =]

Here's another easy Valentine's idea that anyone can do!

Supplies:

- candle

- Epsom salt

- glitter (optional)

- Mod Podge or glue

- ribbon, decals (optional)

- clear coat

I added about 3-4 tablespoons of Epsom salt into a bowl and added some pink glitter to jazz it up a bit. I started painting on the Mod Podge to the desired height of the candle. Then sprinkle your salt/glitter mix onto the candle. Keep doing this all around the candle.

Next, I added some pink, fuzzy string that I had to jazz it up a little more.



Finally, I sprayed the salt/glitter with a clear coat, I'm hoping this will help it stay on longer. Then I added a single white heart to give it even more jazz! This is extremely easy and cheap! I already had the candle and string from about 8 Valentines ago. All I had to buy was the salt. Simple and cute. Enjoy!

I'll be posting this tutorial at these fine blogs:
