The simple things

Yesterday was Valentines day.  It most definately was a great one too!  This year Matt nailed what to get me for my gift.  It was so simple and perfect and made my day.  He didn't spend a huge amount and give me an anxiety attack, he spent at most $5!  If he would do these kinds of things for me here and there the small simple things life would be better for everyone! =)  Anyways he got me some beef jerky, and a card! :

The card was a sound card, so when you opened it up a smoke detector sound started going off, and then a fire engine siren went off.  What a fun cute card!  Way to hit it spot on Matt, and make me feel good about myself!  Love you!

Getting Crafty- Big flower clips!

McKenzie wanted some pretty Big flower clips for Christmas.  I was just planning on asking a friend to make them for me.  Well because it's me, i waited until the last minute, like 2 days before Christmas.  Anyways I remembered my sister Kate had made them before.  I gave her a call to see what I needed and if she would help me.  She is an awesome sister for helping me in such short notice.  I love her!  Anyways I went to Michaels and bought some very big pretty different colored daisies.  They had just arrived at the store.  They were pricey, but oh so worth it.  I can't believe how easy they are to make!  I will definately be making more.  Oh and lesson learned make them with lot's of light!  Kate and I were making them in her bedroom that didn't have the best lighting, which doesn't help when it's dark outside.  So with that said a couple of my first ones are crooked, but still turned out really cute.

Here are McKenzie and Madisynn Sporting their lovely Big Flower Clips:

I have to say the one McKenzie is wearing is my favorite one out of the bunch.  Madisynn was excited to have the big flower clips, but not on the day I took this picture.  Poor thing wasn't feeling the greatest.  They both look so stinking cute with these huge flowers in their hair though!

So now I need to make a big hair bow board to hang them on.  Does anybody know how to do that?
