Love is the Air...

Happy February 1st!

So, I know. Its taken me a about a week to get my butt in gear and get my crafts together! I have excuses...wanna hear them? tough potatoes. I feel like being whiney for a minute. Bear with me.  I've been sick with sinus-ness yuck-ness. That sinus stuff drives me bonkers. I can't breathe, I can't sleep, I'm tired. Need I go on? And then I had school stuff with the childrens....they take up lots of my crafting time....oh kids.  And then I was flooded with boxes and boxes and boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Need some cookies? I've got some...okay, I have lots of them.  I'm the official 'Cookie Mom' for the Frog's Junior troop. I don't know what I was thinking....

So, see? That wasn't too bad. I'm done whining. On with the show. ♥

I bought this unhappy birdhouse at JoAnn's---for 90% off!!  I know!!! It was only like $2.  Did I say one? I really have two. hehe!! One for me and one for my mom.  I knew I needed the birdhouses. Why? 'cuz 1) it was on a major sale and 2) I knew I was going to re-craft into a Valentine's decoration!!  I have plans.....oh so many plans....

Take a look at that!  Its not bad, but its not happy either. Can you believe the original tag said $40. Please!! Who is their right mind would pay that? Not me. And because the  Christmas season was over, the condition of the houses was suspect --couple of missing parts and chipped paint, staples showing, some wood was coming unglued, even a little crooked....I snapped them right up and made them happy again.

And this is what I made. A happy little house for some Valentine's LoveBirds!! ♥ I know I'm being bratty, but I really love them!! I made the house on the left for myself and the house on the right for my mom. But, I'm really loving them together. I might keep them.

And....remember my neighbors? oh boy! oh boy! they are sooooo peeved at me! I totally won the Valentines decorating on the street!! 

Mu-wahahahaha!!

Happy February 1st!!
