Happy New Year!

January Jax Starz Blog Hop!!!

Very sad to see Christmas go...I still have my decorations up as I write this!

But, I am very excited that I get to swap Christmas for Valentine's Day decor!!!

It's even more exciting because the new Occasions catalog is out Jan 6th!! 

There's a whole bunch of NEW items that are amazing!

That also means SALE-A-BRATION time!!
For every $50 in product you purchase (before shipping & tax) you get a FREE product. 

There are 11 special items to choose from! They even have bundle ideas & projects so you don't have to hunt around the catalog to come up with $50 to spend!!

The January Jax Starz Blog Hop theme this month is Valentine's!!!
I made this frame because I saw this great idea on Pinterest! It's a little different, but an easy and cute piece of craftiness to have out on my console (since it will be so bare without my Christmas decor!).
I love the idea of having this out year long to let my husband or family know
the things they do that help make me feel loved!

I found this double 4x6  picture frame and thought it was perfect for this project.
Buy a dry erase marker to change your "because" every day or when ever you please! It wipes off easily from the glass so you can change your reason as often as you want!!
Great way to make your Valentine feel appreciated!
Cute gift for spouse, parents, grandparents, teachers or friends!

These are the items I used!! I love all the NEW things the Occasions catalog has! Made this frame even more amazing!
