Recently, I was honored to be asked do a feature for
Simply the Sweet Life, which happens to be a FANTASTIC magazine, as well as a blog site. This was so much fun for me {thanks, Heather!!} and I couldn't have been more thrilled to take on the challenge of coming up with a fun, new project. I have to say, though, that I always sound like such an
idiot on someone else's blog!!! I can say anything I want here on my blog, and, well, it's fine--but on someone else's blog it's
so lame!!! What a nerd!
Aaaaaaannnd....as you are all aware, we've been so very sick for the entire month of February, so that makes it hard for me to post a Valentine project in a timely manner. However, I think this one is fairly easy and it doesn't take much time or resources. You could also start on these now and have some great end-of-year teacher gifts, or just something nice to have on hand for those spontaneous moments when you forget-then-suddenly-remember a friend's birthday! Then you'll feel
so amazing because you're
PREPARED.

My goal was to think of a fresh idea for a Valentine gift. We often give food items or flowers--but what about books?! Who doesn't love a good book? {
maybe even a romance novel...*wink*...but I think it would be awkward if you gave a romance novel to your kid's male teacher. Or your elderly neighbor lady who only comes outside to water her plants.} But anyway. These were fun! They're a great gift idea for the book lovers in your life.
Happy Stitching!!!
Ummm.... those are beautiful!!! I am insanely jealous at how creative you are. It's my one flaw in life. =) =)
