You know you have a craft problem when you buy bottles of lemonade at the supermarket because you're already thinking of ways to embellish them.
In my defense, it was on sale and quite tasty. Still, the beauty of the bottle was calling to me.
Thoughts of dressing them up with vintage lace and adding French touches made me giddy in the soft drink aisle.
So out came the vintage lace, while chugging the Strawberry and Blackberry flavors.
I'm down to one full bottle - plain ol' lemonade. I'm sure I'll finish it before the end of the day.
Dare I go back and buy more or is that just plain crazy?

I love the look of the heart Mason jars that have been popping up all over Pinterest. I, myself, have pinned a few and yesterday I decided to make my own.
First I put my heart stickers on the fronts of the jars. Then I used a spray chalk paint (the lighter pink) and an acrylic paint (the dark pink) on them. Once they are dry, you carefully peel off your stickers for instant hearts.
Hands down, the spray chalk paint is my favorite of the two. It covered better and it was easier to use a spray compared with a paint brush. Plus, I felt the acrylic paint didn't cover the glass as well as the spray paint.
I sanded down each jar to give for a shabby look. Super easy and so perfect for Valentine's Day.

If you've been to Target's Dollar Spot lately, you've probably noticed these little, zip burlap pouches.
Some already have pre-printed designs on them and some are plain, like these. I grabbed two of them and decided to add my own designs.
Using my Cricut, I created a J and then an anchor stencil.
I broke out a black fabric paint pen and simply outlined each design and then colored it in.
Super easy, right? Just think of all of the possibilities!

I popped into Target over the weekend and immediately headed to their Dollar Spot.
Remember one of my new year's resolutions is to keep to a $100/month budget for crafting, clothes, etc.
I was able to get a few things that make for nice Valentine's Day touches. These little bottles were $1 each. The pink twine was also $1.
The candy hearts were 2 bags for $5.
For $9 (plus tax), I was able to stick to my budget and add some pretty Valentine's touches to my kitchen counter. And I'll be able to use the bottles for future projects. Winning!
