lovely things 2012

**note- i wrote and scheduled this post a LONG time ago...but i have to add something. thank you so much for the comments you all left on my post yesterday. i don't even know what to say. i'm astounded at the response, and very humbled. i'm trying to find a way to respond to each and every comment, but it might take me all year. :) thank you,thank you,thank you!!**

well hello february!

and hello to all of you! today is the start of something fun...

*love*ly things is well...just what it sounds like!

all the things i love.from craft projects, to photos, to shopping, to guest posts to some of my favorite women. oh...and fun giveaways too!

from romantic love to crafty love, photo only posts to longer posts...well there's a little bit of everything.

because,after all, this month is all about love.

i love february. i love love. and pink and red and lace and flowers and...okay.i think you get the picture. :)

i wanted to celebrate my favorite month with something special.

here's the first project i'm sharing...

love jars.

one for each of the bigs. and one day there will be one for all four girls!

here's a closeup of each jar.

miss sadie's love jar:

and miss harper's love jar:

inside each jar are 14 slips of paper. one for each girl to choose on every day through valentine's day.

each slip of paper has one thing i love about each girl.

"i love your big brown eyes" and "i am so proud of your kind heart" are a couple of harper's slips.

"i love your silly jokes" and "i love your snuggles" are two of sadie's slips.

simple and easy...but i can guarantee that each day these slips will bring huge grins to two pretty faces. :) sometimes the bigs have a hard time in the morning. they are tired and grumpy and i'm thinking this will bring some much needed happiness and encouragement to our morning routine.

supplies for each jar:

ball jar

twine

doilies
