    Valentines Day
    is round the corner (29 Days Away)


    So what can you make???
    :heartsmilwithout buying anything:heartsmil




    (Not a thing...come on girls we all have a craft stash)



    You can make anything with a Valentine’s theme, for anyone, your OH, your Kids, even the postman…..;) Anyone!


    :kisses:



    But you can’t buy anything remember, so it’s a bit like Ready Steady Cook….
    Use what you have and see what we can all come up with!!




    Thought this was a nice way for us to come up with some crafty, thrifty ideas to share!!



    Please post Photo’s and or description with simple instructions of what you have made if you want too.


    :lovethoug



    Good Luck!!!
    :D:D:D:D:D

    Went out today to wakefield, there was a shop called kitchen allsorts, they were selling mini hot water bottles, mug , chocolate and marshmallows in a clear box for £1.65 so I picked up a couple. Also a mug teapot for one and teabags for £1.25.
    Well worth a visit if you in the area
    Thanks to sarah for the mini challenge, I`m off to look out for ideas...x
