XOXO Pennant Banner


 The supplies we used:
Crate Paper Valentine Pad for the pennants
Cricut Art Philosophy to cut the pennant
Cricut Classic font for the XOXO
Chevron washi tape
Silver glitter tape (for the clothes pins)
Clothes pins
Black and white twine
 This was so simple to make, if you don't have a Cricut you could easily hand cut the pennant and use stickers for the XOXOXO!

Thanks for flying by xoxo!

Valentine Arrows

How can you pass up making arrows for Valentines?
We have seen some pretty cute ideas, but thought how can we make these
just plane cuter? 
So we hit up Hobby Lobby for felt (4/$1),
 then went out into the yard shook the snow off some branches from our trees
and brought several just what we needed inside.
 Easy enough right?! With a little hot glue these were done in no time!
Who doesn't want these included in their Valentines decor?
Think of a whole vase full of them.
We love projects that turn out as stinkin cute as these, and are as
simple to make as these also.
Felt Heart Arrows.
Cut multiple sizes and colors of hearts.
 
Any color combination will work.
Let your imaginations run wild.
  #PinterestWin

Arrows are all the rage right now.
And could this project be any easier?
Sticks, felt, twine and some hot glue and you got it.
We think the more random and imperfect the twig the better.
We can't display a whole bunch of these during the whole
month of February.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

After seeing a friend's Instgram who had made these
completely yummy lemon cookies we just had to
make them. They are soft, chewy and perfectly
"lemony" a sugary sweet lemon, just the perfect amount
of lemon not too overpowering.
Get ready for the ingredients....all 5 of them!
A lemon cake mix, 1/3 C vegetable oil, 2 eggs,
lemon extract and powdered sugar.
{recipe to follow}


 I sprinkled mine with more powdered sugar after baking.
It seemed to blend into the cookie while in the oven.
 
 Are you drooling yet?
Did we mention easy?  These babies can be whipped up in minutes.
Like the times you need to take dinner to a neighbor.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

1 Lemon box cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp lemon extract
{use vanilla if don't have lemon}
2 eggs
powdered sugar to roll cookies in

Mix first 4 ingredients with mixer.
Roll into balls in the palm of your hand,
about 1 T scoop size.
Then roll ball in powdered sugar.

Drop onto cookie sprayed cooked sheet,
or parchment paper.
Bake 375 degrees for 9 minutes
No need to flatten then will do that while baking.

Enjoy!
