This is a small inspiration board that I put together for holidays. It is made from cork board covered with a vintage linen and it hangs nicely next to the stair well in the kitchen. each day it reminds the kids that they are as special to me as any other member of the family. I have valentines cards from their friends to my husband and I, pictures of fun times past, gifts given by some of my kids and a few handmade mementos. sometimes, a favorite childhood book or toy, and most of the time a quote to inspire their thoughts. I like to think my efforts make them better people as if that would be possible with just a little board....perhaps.... we will never know.
These were designed by
I was so disappointed when she discontinued her publication of the Home Companion a few years back. I saved these on my computer because the kids love to print them in black and white and make their own art by coloring them with colored pencils and then adding glitter embellishments.
A FEW THINGS AROUND OUR HOME
These little mosaic works of art are super easy to make and fun for all with a little glue, grout, and mosaic glass on a vintage lacework plate, add a hanger to the back and you have a terrific valentine's gift in a heartbeat.

Metal music boxes are fun! This one plays "Ode To Joy"
When you open this brushed aluminum box, you see the sweetest little pink powder pouf full of talc.
Hand painted porcelain is another fine art i would like to try my hand in.
A local artist painted these items, I envy the talent!
Another product that I enjoy is the "Stamping Up!" line of stamps and scrap booking supplies sold through local representatives. It is always fun to have card parties and to see the different designs and combination of colors that people come up with. These were the valentines that I made last year.
