Quick Valentine's Day Touches

February 04, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
Guess what we got yesterday?  Yup, you guessed it: more snow. Even more coming tonight.  Sadly, this weather is doing nothing to keep the creative juices flowing.  I got nothing.  Except a few quick Valentine's Day pieces that literally took maybe 10 minutes tops. Dollar store clothes pins hand-stamped with XOXO. Little Valentine's Day notecard using this precious image from the Graphics Fairy. Ikea heart ornament featuring another image from the Graphics Fairy. I'm itching...

Enamel Tag Number Magnets and Randomness

Ever have one of those weeks where you're doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but not really getting anything accomplished?

Valentine's Day Touches

January 24, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
Brrrrr...still in a deep freeze here.  Not feeling overly creative so sharing some Valentine's Day touches around the house. I use this for Xmas too.  Sheet music scrolls in an upcycled can. Now holding a heart pen one of my boys gave me a couple of years ago. Valentine touches in the corner cabinet.  I love breaking out these vintage Valentines each year. The handwritten notes from the children to their friends are so sweet....
