Upcyled Paper Valentine's Day Decor

I am very bad at decorating for Valentine's Day.  Matter of fact try never.  So, I decided since I am trying to get my daughter more enthused about Artsy stuff we would do some Valentine's Day decorations.  If  you are like me you have a ton of books, magazines maybe even newspaper lying around.  This cool lady shared some easy Shabby Chic ideas using old paper.  We are definitely going to try this.  I will share our results after we get them done.  This holiday will be here soon, so if you want to join in better get going.  If you join in, share a pic in the comments.  I would love to see what everyone else comes up with.

25 Days of Christmas Sale: Day One Amethyst Ring

There will be two links for the same ring, one for my Ecrater store, and one for my Etsy store.  Some people choose not to get an account on Etsy, so I offer Ecrater as well.  I am new to Ecrater selling.  The price is the same, and I only have one available.  This beautiful Amethyst ring will be at the 10 dollar sale price until 9 PM Eastern time on Nov 29th, 2013.  Get it while you can.  A piece of jewelry gift for only 10 dollars.  Click the links to see and purchase.  Don't miss this great opportunity!
