Thanks to everyone who submitted their free Valentine's Day printables for me to show off. There are some really cool items here and great designs. Take a look...

Valentine's Day treat boxes from Sweet Pop Studio

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was recently sent a Cricut Expression 2 by the nice folks at Cricut, and I've been busy.

I have to say, there is a learning curve to using your Cricut, so don't be surprised if it takes a little while to get the hang of it. That's what I discovered for myself, and is also why I recommend starting with some easy projects, like those found on the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge. (Perfect cartridge for party people, btw.)

Meredith at MJ Paperie created this collection of "Preppy Plaid" St. Patrick's Day printables, and we must have the luck of the Irish because we get to give them away! Thank you, Meredith!

The collection includes: cupcake wrappers, drink flags, cute food tents, rectangle bottle labels, round bottle labels, and pinch charms.

Tali from A Party Studio designed these sweet baby shower wishing tree cards and was kind enough to offer them to our readers. Thank you, Tali!

I love the whole idea of wishing trees because they let your guests write special messages to the mommy-to-be and baby that can be displayed during the shower on a branch, small tree, or even curly willow from the craft store, then saved forever.

I just discovered that you can tint mason jars and make them look like this, and all it takes is a little Modge Podge and food coloring. I found this easy tutorial put together by Heidi of My Beautiful Mess.

What I like about this tutorial is that Heidi paints the jars on the outside instead of the inside like most tutorials I've seen. This way, if you want to use them as floating candle votives or as flower vases you can. Personally, I think I'm going to use them to store odds and ends.

My daughter, Lainey, will be finishing preschool in June and heading to kindergarten in the fall. This is the first time I'm starting to feel nostalgic. It really is true what they say about being a parent: the days are slow, but the years are fast. Where have these five years gone?

I'm not usually sentimental, but I must confess that when I see people display monthly photos of their babies during their first year at their first birthdays, I wish I had done that. I think I was just too busy and overwhelmed (and sleep deprived) to even think about it.
