Valentine Card // Lost Without You

I'm Lost Without You

That is how I feel about Patrick....a reason I am not anticipating him leaving to the US in the next few weeks. I will be sitting alone at church & at church functions. I won't be able to have a 10 minute chat over the phone and say goodnight before I fall asleep.....

I'll be Lost without You

There is someone else I'd be lost without.... Jesus Christ. If I had not accepted his free gift of salvation....his death and resurection....I would be on my way to hell.

I'd be Lost without you.

Head over to Feminine Modesty to see my Valentine outfit....date night tonight. ☺

Happy Valentine's day!!

Tutorial // Sew A Heart Card

Valentines Day is coming soon! And today I created these little cards. They were quick & simple to do....but they don't look ordinary.

Here is how I made them:

Cut out the hearts....if you have a heart puncher you are better of than me.

Take 3  hearts and sew them on top of each other & cute the ends of thred off

Give your cards some flair...... I cut out the pattern paper from a shopping bag!

But the simple heart stays my favorite.

Do you have any Valentine's cards? How do they look like?
