MATE • Valentine's Day Word Search for Your Perfect Match

Perfect Match Anniversary Word Search
Gift I gave the Boyfriend about 15 years ago
About 15 years ago, before chalkboards were hip, I made an Anniversary Chalkboard Word Search for my Perfect Match. It took a couple of versions before I got it right and was a lot of work. This Valentine's Day I decided to offer an easy version to download. Print, cut, frame, and give. Way less work than I originally went through. You can find it here. Our shop is here.
Valentine's Day Project • DIY Word Search • Perfect Match (Print • Cut • Frame • Give)
8"x 8" and 5"x 5" Download Found in our Etsy Shop
If framed with glass then it can be used with a dry erase marker and reused. 
Valentine's Day Project • DIY Word Search • Perfect Match (Print • Cut • Frame • Give)
For your Perfect Match get our download or make one of your own. 
Happy Love Month.

ME • After Mother's Day Private Celebration

5/13/2014

2 Comments

 
Here's a cupcake Leila custom made last year for our Newsletter Subscribers. I didn't post it beforehand mostly because I've been busy (like you) and forgot (probably unlike you). But.... that doesn't mean you still can't have your own little private after Mother's day celebration with it. If you knew her you know she made THE BEST CUPCAKES EVER. She was the Queen of Cupcakes. So even if you don't use it for a Mother's Day you ought to make it some time. Even if only for yourself.

Love & kisses and Valentine's day all go together so well!

Here's my gift to the Boyfriend. This was so easy to do - red lipstick, pucker up, put it to paper, sign. Bam! Done. Well, except the framing part. But still pretty easy. So I thought I'd share.

Then I thought to myself, self, how easy it would be to make it into a downloadable. If you aren't inclined to do your own, then just - print, sign, frame. Wham Bam!

PROJECT • DIY Thanksgiving Sign

11/21/2013

4 Comments

 
I know Thanksgiving is a week away and it may seem pointless to post a DIY Thanksgiving project but this is so super easy that you can get it done in about an hour after printing. That includes drying time. So, no fear, you can do the sign this weekend.

I wanted to make our Thanksgiving celebration more important, make it a little more meaningful. I went to read the Declaration and realized I hadn't ever read it or at least didn't remember it. I thought this would be a good place to start. I made this 11" x 36" framed sign. The content is condensed from the actual Thanksgiving Proclamation. It's my summary. Meaning that it's my point of view of what's important so you might want to read through it before you print it.

Or...... you can skip the coffee dying process and put the white print in a silver or colorful frame. This project just got easier.
