My Favorite Things

views on the run series

I know that the dark streaks through this snow is dirt, but in this setting I thought the dirt added a beautiful quality to the snow.  It reminds me a little of a sand dune.

I feel like such a child, to be so entertained by my shadow ... but that's ok :)

happy valentine's day!

 This is the newest in my photos from my "views on the run" series.  I was out on a run today, and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this perfect heart on the snowy sidewalk.  I think I scared the friend I was running with, with my sudden stop :)  

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

till next time,

valentine goodies

I just love participating in swaps, and especially valentine swaps because I get to create with my favorite color, PINK!  My sweet friend, Jen and I did a one on one valentine ornament swap.  Just look at her fabulous creations ...

 

These photos were borrowed from Jen's blog.  I just loved how they photographed on her silver tree.  I am a lucky girl indeed.  I will treasure these for years to come.

These are the ornaments that I created for Jen ...

 

 

 

I also participated in Heather's Petite Inspiration Box Swap.  We were put into groups of 4.  So we each decorated and filled 3 little boxes with valentine goodies to send to each of our group members.  My partners were Elizabeth Holcombe, Melissa Lobdell, and Jenny Heid.  

These are the wonderful boxes that I received ...

The generous treats in Beth's box ...

Melissa's fabulous box ...

Jenny's adorable box ...

I have already used supplies that I received in each of my boxes to create other valentine's!

The boxes that I had so fun creating for my swap friends ...

 

I just love photos of three's!

Well, I am hoping to get in a little bit of last minute valentine creating before tomorrow.

till next time,

melissa
