Adventures in Valentines

Well dear readers, we were on a retreat this weekend, thus the complete lack of posting and or commenting on your lovely stuff,which we regret. That said,we did have a fantastic time cross country skiing, sledding, and doing other types of  winter activities,and just in time,apparently, as it's supposed to hit 50 degrees in our neck of the country by the end of this week(w00t!) We brought along valentine making supplies for down time,which came quite in handy,we'll tell you.We made some quite ugly valentines for funsies, and then the next day Betsy made cute ones with one of our friends,who happens to have mad crafting talent. Here are some photos for you...

Homemade hot cocoa and crafting is a lovely combo...

Valentine makin' supplies,of both the hideous and adorable variety.

That's Jonie in the ruffles. FYI.

A super cheesy ugly Valentine for a mutual friend of ours...

We stayed busy,you see.

The card reads:"Even if I have to bite the dust a million times,I will never be your valentine!"

 The card above has a story attached,we promise. And here it is:

"My sister (Jonie speaking) told me that she didn't want to go on a "date" with me for Valentine's Day, and then called back later when she realized she was actually free. So, I made her a card with an important moral lesson attached...never reject your own sister as your valentine."

So,how DID we celebrate the 14th? Well, our Mommies gave us candy,and we went out to dinner with some friends(and some sisters,too!) to celebrate Singles Awareness Day. All in all a lovely day.

What did you do to celebrate Valentines day?

All You need is Love...and Links.

What with Valentines(Or,as some would have it, Singles Awareness Day) rapidly approaching,we thought some related goodness was in order.So,without further adieu,here are some disgustingly adorable,items for your viewing pleasure.

How cute is this tutorial? Answer: Pretty Darn.

Check out this adorable free(!) printable from Erin of Crafts and Sutch. Loves it!

Dana of MADE never fails to amaze. Check out her cute treat holders here.

Betsy weeps for those who have never made a hershey kiss rose. Easy,cute,and delicious.

Epic squeal worthy? Why yes.

Betsy just can't get over this necklace! It's so sweet...

I, Jonie, just read this post and I am here to ask this regarding the above necklace; am I indeed "here"? Whose heart am I "here" in? Oh, the eternal question of females. 

Jonie, you are my favorite. Always remember this. -Betsy

Anyways,however you celebrate the 14th, we hope this inspired you.
Stay fancy,Fancy Lads!

Little Piggy

Here's a little something to brighten up what is often a rather grim start to the week (be it due to your attitude or actual circumstances).

So, as you dread another week of monotony, just remember that even a pig can have an impressive zest for life.

Holy Cute!

Here are a few wonderful things that caught our eye. Enjoy!

This mug cozy is cute enough to make Betsy wish she drank coffee or tea!

These feather bangles from Ruche are so cute! We think we need to make some...

What an adorable print by the lovely Elsie Flannigan. Holy Cute indeed!

We really want to try this fantastic doily-resist project on some t-shirts. Brilliant!

Whoever made this design(also available in t-shirts) is our hero.*

                               

*Sigh*. That's some cute stuff,there.

Stay Fancy!

                                               

*Please tell us you caught the allusion to Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"?!

Berries and Cream

Fancy Lads love berries and cream.

Little Lads love berries and cream.

Basically, if you are a lad of any variety, you should love berries and cream.

Need proof?

Okay.

You're probably thinking "Wow. That was an incredible use of Jazz Hands! Berries and cream,berries and cream...man...I wish I could do that dance..."

Wish. Granted.

Both of your humble blog authors can in fact, do this dance, and they encourage you to learn it too.
Happy Monday,Kids.

Thank you, and keep being fancy!
