I am quite proud of my simple $5 Valentine’s Day Dress. It started out as an after Christmas find at Walmart. (one of those compulsive buys… went to get TP and got sucked into the sale racks) And customizing it was fun and simple!
To take it from Christmas to Valentines was simple.

Valentines is NOT one of favorite holidays. Probably because, I have not had a Valentine for almost a decade. No matter… my little divas are always fun to shop and decorate for. And as a velentines treat to my readers, leave a comment on any of the posts this weekend and on Monday a lucky winner will get a fun CHA prize package including – Papers from Echo Park, Making Memories Bravissimo, and more!
Hanging in our entrance hall are these big hearts. Each heart is a little umder 12″ and decorated in its own special way. Keep reading for a close up and instructions for each one. I am thinking about cutting some vinyl saying to go right above it…we’ll see.

What a trip… I love reading all the recaps, and here is mine. This is long… so grab a cup of cocoa and relax. (and skip down to the end if you want to win some fun prizes!)
Our trip started Friday. Mama (my mother) and I decided to drive to LA from our home in UT – by way of Vegas of course. A quick stop turned into an awesome dinner…
and some major shopping!
If you have not seen the giant H&M in Ceasars, go. Go Now! Needless to say we ended up getting into LA pretty late.
Day 1 started at an 8 am Making Memories VIP event to showcase the new Bravissimo line. Gave my stamp of approval and shared how much I love this line.. then off to the show floor. Followed by a fun Cricut party to celebrate 5 years of the Cricut and then off to dinner with the wonderful ladies of Big Picture Classes. (and if that isnt enough… from there we ended up going to a party where my “uncle” was playing for some live band Karaoke) And meeting up with my dear friend Paolo.
The rest of the week was pretty close to the same relentless schedule.
Day 2 highlight was the Paperclipping Roundtable for sure. I always love being on the show.. but there is something exta special fun and fabulous about getting to actually be sitting with these fantastic ladies. And well, it was cool for my mama to see what it is we do at “CHA”.
Day 3 more make and takes for mama on the show floor, a few more meetings and then off to Vegas. (or we thought)
On the way home, we got a call that my youngest little diva was really ill – throwing up every hour, and asking for me. So I decided that we would skip Sin City and power through and drive straight home. If all goes well… we would be home at about 4 am. IF all goes well. Unfortunately things didnt quite go as planned. In the mountain pass just beyond St. George we got hit by a pretty big snow storm. Hoping to still trudge through… we went on. We only got as far as Beaver before we had to pull into a creepy motel and call it night.
We FINALLY made it home the next day. Since I got home, we have been pass the virus… and now. I am officially butt kicked, totally inspired, and completely exhausted! But I would do it again, and in fact will… CHA Summer will be here before we know it! lol.
As for my favorite product picks? Download “Almost live from CHA” episode of the Paperclipping Roundtable. And be sure to check out the blog all weekend long and I will share more of my favorite finds and inspiration from the show! Wanna win some? Come back to the blog tomorrow (Friday) for an all new weekender giveaway!
