I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a bunch of stuff all last week. It feels so good. I cleaned out my office/craft room and a big closet, cupboards and drawers. Then I started in the kitchen and now I need to keep going and get my kitchen all done. That is my next goal. I love it when I get the cleaning bug and can get a lot done because I really don’t get it very often, so I had better go for it while I can! When you clean everything out, you can see what you have (or rather how much you have!) and so when I organized all of my washi tape I decided that I needed to do a project with some of it!

So here is fun little idea using your washi tape that would be perfect for a little tea party, a shower, a birthday, or even for weddings!

Individual Washi Cupcake Stands!

This months visiting teaching message for our church is:

“Converted unto the Lord“

I chose to use the quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley.

(Does anyone still miss him like I do?)

I love this quote on how to treat new converts, but in a sense are we not all converts? I think that this quote is just a good motto to have when dealing with anyone we meet!

I have been wanting a table runner for my table, but I wanted a square one, not a rectangle one. I had several different pieces of fabric that were red and white, so naturally I decided that I needed to make my table runner. I made it with all my scraps and this whole thing did not cost me any extra money, because I had everything that I needed! Score!

I love how it looks on my kitchen table!

I have another pillow wrap for you today.

I love these wraps because they are such an easy way to decorate and a pillow can add so much to a room. This is my Valentines version. I love the colors with the touch of green added in the ruffle. It goes perfect with my black pillow, so I did not need to make a new pillow, just the wrap!

Cute “Be Mine” Banner

Today I have another Valentines Project that I have been working on.

This fun “Be Mine” Banner:

It is about 3 feet long, so it was hard to get a great picture of the whole thing together! But it is cute because it is that long! It looks great and makes a statement all on its own, but you could add some fun heart decorations to go with it too! I think that I am going to find some kind of lights and a garland to go with mine for my mantle, but I wanted to get this post out to you so you could make one if you want to! (So you get the plain version!)
