    Good Morning, These are so cute!
    I don't think I have any Spanish moss, will prairie grass work? Hee Hee! I want one of those for my Pink Room.
    It's going to be a great day!!

    Mom, this brings back my earliest memories! I remember these when I was so little. I love them and I love the effect they have for Valentine's Day.

    I am so glad you did this tutorial for me. You remember you helped me with these when I lived in Ohio? We made these for my Valentine's Tea Party craft. And they were such a success!

    LOVE YOU!
    Marie

    Love this Pam! It has been a while since I did some crafting. Might be something I could do with my twins this week as I know they would be giddy with delight if I showed them and would beg me to make them with them... might need to find some moss and some pretty card. Have lots of lace though. Still have not found time for another blog post and unlikely to do so with a wedding approaching which I am styling.... preparing myself to wash and pack over 90 plates, bowls, teacups and polish cutlery, teapots and lots more. But determined to stay in touch with my blog friends so will do my best to leave comments when I have a spare moment. Renamed my business too to reflect more accurately what I do .. It's now called Grace My Table. I suspect that you will like that name!

    What a beautiful door display. Like I mentioned before I love any and all hearts! You are just so crafty, Pam! I haven't felt very crafty this year, it seems to me that I need to slow down a bit and get my glue out... HA! Thanks for inspiring me!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM!

    PS... See you on Friday :)

    Love ya,
    Amy
