</div>Everybody loves getting a box of sweethearts at Valentine's Day! Why not make them extra special by adding some bling to them! These Sweetheart boxes are so fun to make! Use your imagination and have FUN, FUN, FUN!<br />
<br />
Here are the directions:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DTtJurQpI/AAAAAAAABak/AIKjVK7OGS8/s1600-h/IMG_5273.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DTtJurQpI/AAAAAAAABak/AIKjVK7OGS8/s320/IMG_5273.jpg" /></a><br />
</div>1. Cover your box with a base piece of background and texture paper. I cut mine 4" x 7".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUByvq7kI/AAAAAAAABa0/zKyqyY9YGuI/s1600-h/IMG_5272.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUByvq7kI/AAAAAAAABa0/zKyqyY9YGuI/s320/IMG_5272.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
2. I cut a coordinating piece of background and texture paper to 1" x 7". I used a punch to create an eyelet look. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUGHY1fuI/AAAAAAAABa8/53DtqNAOBBI/s1600-h/IMG_5274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUGHY1fuI/AAAAAAAABa8/53DtqNAOBBI/s320/IMG_5274.jpg" /></a><br />
</div>3. Cut a slit in front of the box. Wrap the ribbon around the box (between the box and b&t paper on the back and through the slit center in the front). See photo. This keeps the sweetheart box from coming out when you pull it up.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUPvKYYCI/AAAAAAAABbU/kjpDh-IgCyE/s1600-h/IMG_5275.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUPvKYYCI/AAAAAAAABbU/kjpDh-IgCyE/s320/IMG_5275.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. Cut coordinating cardstock to decorate the front of the box. Stamp your image on this cardstock. Glue on the front of the box, being careful not to get adhesive on the ribbon. I added it to 3 sides of the cardstock. (sides and bottom- leaving no adhesive in the middle or the top).<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUMpS4mBI/AAAAAAAABbM/KAsD1YWuZKc/s1600-h/IMG_5277.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KzgFHKq_sfM/S2DUMpS4mBI/AAAAAAAABbM/KAsD1YWuZKc/s320/IMG_5277.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. Carefully put the ribbon around the box and tie the box inbetween. SO CUTE.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">6. Give to a friend with big hugs and kisses!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Everyone loves heart shaped lollipops! Here is a fun and simple Valentine's Day Project that will put a smile on anyone's face- a lollipop holder. You can find heart shaped lollipops at any department store this time of year. Just make sure they are flat! The finished size of the lollipop holder is 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 . <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lollipop base- I used Tulip cardstock. Cut it by 2 1 /2" x 5 1/4". Score it ata 2 1/4" and 2 3/4". This makes a 1/4 gusset at the top.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cut a piece of white carstock 2 1/4" x 2 1/4". Decorate as desired. I used the A size stamp set - A love for my front. (What a steal- the entire stamp set costs only $7.95). Ink colors used are: Tulip, Blush and Chocolate.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Decorate the back with a To/From stamp.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Punch two holes at the bottom about 1 /2 inch apart. Thread with ribbon. Give to a special friend.<br />

<br />
Ok, I fell off the map during my trip to New Zealand. I had every intention of blogging every day but I could not get an internet connection from my room. I was too exhausted to go to the internet cafe or to the hotel lobby, so, I took a week off.<br />
<br />
I went to New Zealand knowing I would have fun, but with no other expectations. Wow... was I blown away! This trip was truly a trip of a lifetime. I can't begin to describe how beautiful it was. My description would be Hawaii (the tropical flair), Alaska (with the mountains and glaciers) and Ireland (with the green) all rolled into one exotic location. I can't believe that I was able to earn this trip for both Kent and myself. I am so lucky to work for such an awesome company.<br />
<br />
I am going to share my trip with you day by day! Enjoy.<br />

</div><br />
BUSTED! I am sure that I have confused all of my facebook friends with my previous posts. They know part of this story if they were facebooking last night.<br />
<br />
Before I tell my story, let me explain the previous post. If you are not a blogger- you may not know this... but Blogger allows you to compose posts ahead of time and schedule them to go live at your convenience. I thought I was being smart, and composed the previous post a few days ago. I was supposed to leave Pensacola at 5:20 this morning, that didn't happen. Let me tell you my story...<br />
<br />
Imagine this... it is Thursday afternoon, the afternoon before my trip to New Zealand. I have piles of clothes, both Kent's and mine, all over the house. 5 suitcases (hey... 2 are carry on's) in the midle of the floor. I just finished my Whataburger hamburger and I decide to log onto Delta.com to check in. Guess what... due to the snow storm, and the cold tempatures... my Friday morning flight was cancelled. I call Delta. It is too late to get a flight out today. There is nothing going out on Friday, so that leaves Saturday morning. We are shceuled to leave San Franciso Saturday evening. Looking iffey (not sure if , ifey is a word, but just go with it). I determined that I worked too hard this past year with CTMH, to chance missing my New Zealand Flight. <br />
<br />
I call ed Kent at work, and ttold him to get home immediately. (He works an hour away). I throw all the piles of clothes into the closest of the 5 suitcases. I call Avis. I rent a car. Kent gets home from work at around 3:30 p.m. We put the suitcaes in the car and my dear friend Debbie drives us to Pensacola to get a rent a car.<br />
<br />
We get the rent a car and start driving towards Atlanta, into the ice and snow. It is now 5:30 p.m. <br />
<br />
I check my iphone and find out that Delta has rescheduled us once again, this time to leave out of Pensacola on Saturday morning. We are about an hour into the drive. I call Delta and am on hold. We hit a no service part of the drive and the phone goes dead. No service for an hour. What to do... what to do...<br />
<br />
Finally 2, hours into the drive, I get my cell signal back. I call Delta. The agent is not sure why they switched our flight without asking. He puts us back on the Atlanta to San Francisco flight. We keep driving.<br />
<br />
At 11:30 p.m. we get to our hotel. Since we have to be at the Atlanta airport at 6 a.m., Kent decides to return the rent a car Thrusay night. The plan is for me is to stay in the hotel and try to organize the items I threw in the suitcase. <br />
<br />
An hour later, Kent calls and the rent a car agency is closed. 20 minutes later he finds an after hour drop off Whew!<br />
<br />
He gets back to the hotel at 1:15. We fall into bed. 4 a.m. this morning our alarm goes off. OMG!<br />
<br />
We made it to the airport. I found Casey, my superstar team member who also earned New Zealand. For all my CTMH friends, we found Amy and Stan too! They are on our flight. Amy and I check out the Brigthon store at 7:30 a .m. Life is good now. <br />
<br />
Kent and I were upgraded to first class. Kent gave up his seat and Casey is sitting beside me as I blog.(gotta love wi fi in the sky) Is it too early to have a glass of wine?<br />
<br />
Our next stop is San Francisco. Oh I wonder what adventures await us there...<br />
<br />
Time to take a nap....<br />
<br />
Dreaming of New Zealand,<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have I mentioned lately that I am going to New Zealand tomorrow :). I made this useful, and very simple travel too. (this is a 5 minute project). I went to Walmart and got a simple file folder. I took 5 minutes and decorated the outside of the folder, using Rockstar paper and the New Zealand stamp set. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the inside I stamped the names of the places that we will visit. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><br />
Each town has it's own folder. As I visit each town, I can collect memorbillia and put it in the appropriate pocket. Then, when I get ready to scrapbook, everything is in one place. Easy Peasy!

</div>Chocolate and France make me happy. That is why I loved this holiday gift that my friend Maryanne gave me. I have had this in my stamp room at my creation station during the holiday season. Every time I see it, I smile. It has made creating even more fun! I wanted to share it on my blog. Thank you Maryanne! I don't think I will ever be able to eat it!<br />

</div>I finished my cookie exchange album this morning. I finally got my photos developed and put where they belong. The album is from my Scattered Hearts annual Christmas cookie exchange. I used CTMH all-sorts album and had so much fun creating with it. There was only one small problem, I didn't have enough pages to get everyone's photo in the book. Not to worry, when I get home from New Zealand, I am going to create another album using the same, fun, Jingle paper and buy bigger key rings and finish the album with everyone's recipe and photo. Great idea huh?<br />
<br />
This year I mxed up the recipes and photos to get more in the album. This was my team member, Jackie Gay's idea. She is brilliant! Thank you Jackie!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the book. I had a blast creating it and sharing it with the team. I even had some long distance ladies participate. Fun, Fun, FUN!<br />

Sponge Brush<br />
Jingle CTMH paper pack<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I been MIA for a few days. My trip to Boston, followed by the two Christmas parties that I am having this week has kept me rather busy. Today I have two scrapbooking classes. One starts at 3:30 p.m and one at 7:00 p.m. In between classes, at 5:30 I am serving dinner to both classes as a thank you for being such awesome customers and friends. I can't wait. I am serving a "FRENCH" dinner! Patiently waiting until party time..<br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last week, Kent told me he had to go to Boston for busines and asked if I wanted to go with him. SURE, I said. That is one of the reasons I LOVE my job. I was able to clear my schedule and plan a holiday getaway! <br />
<br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We had a rather bumpy flight into Boston but landed safely around 2:00 p.m. Quick stop at the hotel and then the search started for Lobster. We found it... we went to Atlantic Seafood and it was DELICIOUS. I think I had the biggest and best lobster I have ever tasted.<br />

<br />
Today, Kent went to work, I slept in until almost 8:00! I got up, worked on the pattern for the Cookie Exchange album, got a massage, had clam chowder for lunch, got a makeover from Seporia and then went shopping. I think Christmas came early!!! I am so blessed to have the life that I do, loving what I do and having the financial/schedule freedom to take these weekend getaways!<br />
<br />
I am looking for fun and energetic people to join my team. If you would like some information on owning your own scrapbooking business, drop me a line. I would love to help you get started.<br />
<br />
Off to see some sites and find another scrumptious lobster!<br />
<br />
New England Hugs,<br />
