Give these girls some craft materials and they are happy as clams! I think they could have spent another hour making cards.
Aren't these cards just adorable?
Today was church and then off to my sweet mother-in-laws home to have a valentine ice-cream sundae party with the family! It was only about 4 degrees here today and the wind chill was about 20 below so we all had a good laugh about the appropriateness of an ice cream party this time of year but that didn't stop us from digging in and making some great concoctions and sharing old family stories and some really old photos that Earls uncle had unearthed and given to mom. I hope to get my hands on them and scan some to show you because they are the sweetest old things. So old that nobody in the family has a clue who they are! I am sure that is how so many end up being sold in antique shops and flea markets.
On another note, I want to say thanks to everyone for all the love sent my way for the last post. I assure you I am not going away and will visit as often as possible. I have missed you this week but have a couple days off next week so hopefully I will get around to say hello. I have a few ideas for posts rolling around in my head and I will have them posted this week. In the meantime, I hope everyone has a great week! I plan to celebrate Valentines day every day this week:>)
Good morning Kathy! We agree, icecream knows no boundaries, Summer, Winter, anytime! Sounds like you had a lovely day, it is so sweet to see the girls creating, very creative little ladies. You have a lovely week ahead too :) Jenn and Jacqui
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of making hearts! I have bits and pieces of fabric and vintage notions I've been collecting for awhile now... and I feel a crafty project coming on!

How fun to sit and create with those little ladies! Cute cards!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I love my pillow - did you see it on my blog? It is perfect!
You do such great work!
Hoping you have a great week and not worries about visiting. I know what it is like when you get busy. Only so many hours in the day and then there is this thing we need called sleep. ha.

It is crazy,but when it gets cold I crave icecream. I bet you all had a good time.
ReplyDeleteThe girls art is awsome. I love to watch a young girl start to show the talent that we know God gace females to create.
Have a great week, Brenda
Hi Kathleen...I guess I missed out again on the new hearts...there's no more left in your etsy store! I'll keep checking. The card making session looks fabulous and fun...and who couldn't do with an ice cream valentine social! Take care and I'll be checking back.
ReplyDeleteYour friend...Alice
Kathy, what a wonderful post! I love this. Those cookies look so good! Can I come over and craft with you?!? :)

kathleen, Precious post! So sorry to hear how things are going in your last post. It saddens me how things are in MI . I really love visitng there rather then in my state of IN. People here are somewhat snobby! MI's are much friendlier! Take care friend, hope things look up soon! Lori
ReplyDeletewhat a nice way to spend a weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad everything is going well for you! Love it that the girls had such a great time crafting their valentine cards. Time well spent with those young girls! Have a great week!

This post is just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteJust to say hello, friend.
ReplyDeleteI am saving monies to buy more of your precious hearts. You are selling them faster than you can make them! WONDERFUL
hugs, bj
Oh, dear Kathy...I am needing one of your black hearts with the lovely flowers on it....like some you have sold in your shop. If you will let me know when you start to make one, I will send $'s....
ReplyDeletehugs, bj
Good Morning!
ReplyDeletePlease let me know when you have more hearts up on your Etsy shop! I would LOVE to have one for my new collection - come share your link to your hearts/shop on my post today, if you'd like!

Kim
What fun! I think these times make the best memories for kids.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mail that check yesterday...it will be mailed today though!
Hiya Sweets. You're so strong! I'm catching up (again!) and just read your last post. It's hard to imagine but everyone goes through these times of more stress/less stress and we come out of the stressful times with such a greater appreciation for the grace of God. Surely His blessings follow our sacrifices! On a separate note, the cards the girls made are wonderful! I have to get my son making a box for his cards (that, of course, I don't have yet). Blessings... Polly
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, your weekend sounds very happy.
ReplyDeleteI love cards created from the heart they are the most special, and cookies and a tea party...I love.
I think an ice cream party is yummy any time. Hugs Linda
Hi Kathy, just love looking at your posts and photos! Blessings, Kathleen
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteAny weekend with ice cream is a wonderful weekend, as far as I'm concerned! LOL
Stay warm, sweetie!
xoxo,
Mary
