Sweet Stuff.

I have a confession.

I do have a great design eye. I can visualize a room quickly. I can come up with a lovely outfit quick. I can create it in my head no problem.

But.

I'm not very crafty. Okay, I can't be described as crafty at all.
I'm not that good with my hands.
My only talent is getting necklaces untangled.
I get impatient.
I will probably never have an Etsy shop.
I have a million pins on pinterest. Most of them I won't even attempt.
I need my DIY to be EASY. Real easy.

So when Allison invited me to join her and some other fabulous bloggers in hosting a valentines link up referencing anything to do with DIY and/or love, I was skeptical.

Like, WOW that sounds great.

((Like totally omg))

WOW, I'd love to do that.

But what kind of poser hosts a link up that finds curling their hair with anything but a curling rod impossible?

I showed her my last year's DIY cookie creation I did for Valentines day.


((This is break and bake with a cookie cutter, and strategically placed peanut butter m & ms. Told you. It's got to be EASY.))

She said it would work!

Wahoooooooo :)

So here I am. Announcing to you a really fun link up coming your way!



Come share your favorite post of anything lovie with the blog world! This can be a recipe, a DIY craft, an outfit, your valentines want list, a cute video/story you found on the web...ANYTHING to do with valentines day! So that means the less crafty of us, can celebrate a blogger's valentines day too! I promise to come up with something more fabulous than my cookie creation above....but let's be real, if it's DIY it will be REAL simple.

Feb 1st, link up to ONE of five blogs ((Mine, Allison, Melissa, Liz, or Rushelle)) and your link will be shown on all five bloggers sites. So just link up once. Then make new friends and get new ideas for your valentine! Even if it's a friend, your mom, or yourself. Everyone has a valentine, really.

Love actually is all around us. <3

So really, there are no rules. But this is a fun way to share the post you were already going to post ((yep, calling YOU out here))

Spread the love on your blog, twitter, fb, whatever with the button Melissa made ((Pineapple Lily for those of you bad with names))!

And start thinking of your post, friends!! :)

    Yay I can't wait for this :)
    Thanks for following my blog!

    It makes me happy to know that I am not the only one who struggles with DIY/craftiness. I try & try but I usually end up sitting defeated with a half done craft and my fingers hot glued together.
    I feel you girl ;)

    xo,

    sounds AWESOME! I'm game. :)

    I have my moments of craftiness, but most of the time I feel pretty lost. I love it when inspiration hits, though!
