After being away for several days, I am back . Things here have been in sort of an organizing mode. Since I last posted, this is what I have been up to:
* Moving a trailer of appliances and wedding gifts to my daughter.
* Moving a trailer of appliances and wedding gifts to my daughter.
* Re-organizing the way we keep records of bills, receipts, etc.
Many of the tips I am using came from some of you.
* Coupon clipping and planning menus to help with more thrify grocery shopping.
If there is such a thing.
* Trying to accomplish a major organization of our entire house.
* In addition to all of this substitute teaching regularly.
* Almost forgot I started Beth Moore's new Bible study on Esther.
It's Tough Being a Woman. This one is great already!
Now for the sophisticated tutorial:
First you're going to need some of this.
A little of this.
To make this. Oops! I forgot you will need a little duct tape too.
I forgot to take a picture, but you will also need red tinsel of some kind. Mine came from Big Lots. It was 25 feet @75% off, which was .75. Wrap it around your heart shape, with a little hot glue along the way.
Then you will end up with this. They were selling similar ones at Big Lots for $11.00. Now you could use a styrofoam heart shape, but I was determined to do this cheap. My husband keeps all sorts of odds and ends, so when I told him what I was going to do, he suggested the hose and wire. He actually put that part together for me, and made a wonderful little hanger, so it would hang correctly on the front door. I spent a total of 75 cents for this one. What have you been up to lately?

Hi Jackie!
I love your heart! Such a great idea! I just might have to give that a try, but I'm not the most crafty person in the world.
Have a blessed day!
That is so cute..... my husband is a hoarder. Love it.
This is fantastic!
How cute!! I love cute easy projects. Adorable!
The heart wreath turned out great. How cool your hubby thought to use the old hose and stuff. Cool!
Your heart wreath is great. I esp. love how your husband found something around the house to make the base out of.
My daughter cut out a bunch of hearts yesterday. Maybe I could figure out how to make a wreath out of them.
That is so cute! What a great idea to use the water hose.
Great project! And you're right, the price is right! I'll have to see if I have an old hose around here....
