Happy Hip HEART Hop!

Hello THURSDAY!

time to get down with some

HIP.

HOP.

& 

HEARTS!

It is ALL about VALENTINES DAY

here at the Lien Ranch...

LOTS

of cards in the making

for all those

school parties.

I had a lovely little person

helping me create...

We spent the afternoon crafting her

Valentines

and baking cupcakes to surprise
the big kids when they arrived home from school.
Here are the results of both activities...

 Sofia's Valentine Tags
she did all the counting, made sure each tag had a heart,
put zap dots foam squares on each heart, then stuck the hearts on.
and put staples in the stapler. ;)

They will be tied onto a treat for each friend.  
We used:
My all time FAVORITE HEART from Donna Downey's
Create Today kit, 'have a happy day' sentiment from
Could I Be Any Cuter kit, and 'do all things with love'
sentiment from Wishes & Kisses Stampin' Store kit
Bella Blvd paper, denim, jute, staples, crop-a-dile

my SWEET assistant, Sofia

After school Cupcakes...

We used: 1 white cake mix, 1/2 Tinkerbell and 1/2 Birthday

muffin cups, Chocolate & Vanilla frosting,

Valentine M&M's, white chocolate chips,

conversation hearts, Red & Pink sprinkles

and the MAIN ingredient.... LOVE.

Every day of your life is a special occasion."

Good Morning

and

Happy Hip Hop Thursday!

Feelin' the LOVE.

yes.

indeed.

I have great FRIENDS in my life.

I could go on for pages,

explaining every little thing I love about each of my friends... 

BUT..

I will keep it short and sweet.. sum it up by saying...

they are

PHENOMENAL.

every. single. one.

I hope they know that I think so.

I tell them I love them.. every chance I get.

It is nice to be reminded from time to time...

so I made up some little 'Friend' notecards

using the

 January Kit of the Month

{to the moon & back}

 

good friends...

4X4 notecard
I used Jimmi's Sketch Challenge

HHSC41 as a starting point (even though my card isn't round)

Love this quote.

"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-

and especially to feel, or not feel.

Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them.

That's what real love amounts to

- letting a person be what he really is."

— Jim Morrison
