meet the girls...



so, let me tell you about the valentine ornie swap i am participating in.
cool girls.
talented ladies.
terrific hostess - alanna george - she started a little group last spring...then the girls traded halloween ornies - i didn't play along for this one since i totally skip halloween because i want to get right to Christmas - and now i am back in the swap'n sweetness for a valentine's day theme!




i really love swapping. it is a great way to get to know other girlies, and it's sooooo fun share pretties with other gals who like what i like.

now. sometimes i have a vision for what i think i am going to create, and then....the result is, well...not so much what i thought it would be. does this happen to you?




at first, i thought these little prom queen valentine girls were too creepy to share.
then, they became quirky and kinda cute.
and THEN i decided i loved them!



this project was totally inspired by julie - at the adventures of blue girl xo - she shared the how to for an artful thursday project. i cheated and used yarn because i had it on hand.


so here they are...in all of their quirky loveliness...i think i love them because i can relate - can't we all???!!

happy day!
and...
let it snow!
let it snow!
let it snow!
