Love and Other Indoor Sports

Published on by YvetteLeave a comment

I remember being a kid and discovering Judy Blume in my Catholic school library.  I seriously thought I was getting away with something by reading her books!  One that stands out in particular is Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself.  In the book, Sally comes across her babysitter’s love letters signed “Love and other indoor sports” and starts signing her letters the same way.  I’m pretty sure I was tempted to do the same thing, but a part of me knew there was an underlying dirty message in that signature, so I didn’t even risk it.

My newest piece in my Charm Necklace collection reminds me of Sally J. Freedman.  I shall call it “Love and other indoor sports.”

DIY Valentine’s Day Cards

Published on by Yvette4 Comments

My little mama wanted to make some special Valentine’s Day cards for her new classmates this year.  We came up with a super fun tutorial, so easy a 9-year-old could (and did!) follow!


Here are the materials we used:

  • Plain white card stock
  • Colorful patterned card stock
  • Funky edge scrapbook scissors
  • Sewing machine
  • LOVE stamp
  • Pink stamp pad
  • Aqua colored pen/marker

Step 1: Trace a heart shape on the back of the patterned card stock
Step 2: Cut out the heart using the funky edge scrapbook scissors

It should look like this!
Step 3: Sew (or have Mom sew) along the edge of the heart
to the piece of white card stock.
Step 4:  Add a fun stamp to the card.
Step 5: Add your friend’s name on top and your name along the bottom.

Easy peasy and too cute for words!
