Happy Valentine’s Day friends. I know, I know, it’s not a real holiday, but any holiday where I might receive a gift of cheese is a great holiday — corporate creation or not. If you give me cheese, I’m going to love you forever. That’s a long time, but my love of cheese knows no boundaries.
Holidays
She’s Crafty!! {Not the Beastie Boys version!!}
Tis the season to be…WAIT!! Where is my to-do list? Why haven’t I started my Christmas shopping? Where is the hot cocoa and candy canes? But most of all, WHERE IS MY SCOTCH TAPE?!?!
I can guarantee that I will run out of tape while wrapping gifts. It doesn’t matter how much I have purchased, I am going to either misplace it, my son is going to tape stuff all over the house or my husband is going to try and defuzz his sweaters with a fist full of tape (at least I didn’t say his chest!). Take your pick, all three will happen. It also happens when I am crafting. But it’s usually glue for my hot glue gun. It’s like the project pictured here. Simple enough. 9×4 and 12×4 cones, covered in scrap booking paper and topped with a Christmas ornament on top for festivity. Since the craft only took an hour and I was going to have it ready and on my sideboard before I had friends over for dinner, I thought “piece of cake”.
It never happens that way. If it did, my mouth would be riddled with cavities.
No glue for my hot glue gun. No foam spray glue. So, I did what any self-respecting woman, with a naked side board would do, broke out the scotch tape. What you have before you my friends thought I spent hours on. Instead? I slapped it together with tape in under five minutes. It’s adorable and my dining companions looked at me as if I were the holy grail of domestic doyennes, Martha Stewart. Secretly, Martha would have been slapping me around my house for my lack of preparation.
I don’t want you to be caught unawares this holiday season. Does that mean I am giving you a great to-do list to keep you organized? Nope. I am giving you tape. Lots and lots of Scotch Tape!
Now, I am giving one (1) lucky winner five (5) rolls of Scotch Tape! That’s a lot of sweater fuzz! I am also giving five (5) lucky winners one (1) roll of Scotch Tape. Mosey on down to the comment section below and let me know you need some Scotch Tape. If you have a funny wrapping experience, even better! After all, I need to know that I am not alone in my domestic disasters.

Help Getting Organized | Get Organized with Organizational Tips from Buttoned Up | Tool: Free Printable Valentine’s Day Cards | Buttoned Up
This is what I am sending my Valentines Cards on! These adorably cute Valentines Day Cards from Buttoned Up. I have card stock and can print, cut, sign.
My son has bought Valentines. He’s at the age where making them is considered to be quite lame in his book. Well, he will get over it, cause this Mom will still have fun cards that can’t be bought in a store!
I think there will also be some renegade kindness! You never know where I will stick these to brighten someones day. I need to carry my camera with me so that I can take photos of all of the places I stick them.

I Love Cupcakes Embroidered Kitchen Tea Towel by shamsandcoverups
While I am on my Valentines theme, I had to add these towels by Shams and Coverups over at Etsy. The towels are top quality and the embroidery is custom. She is also my business partner, but I would love them no matter what and have told her when I thought something was NOT a good product.
