I can’t believe Thursday is here already!  This week Matter of Cents and I have chosen the theme of Valentine sweets for Pin Me!

This week Matter of Cents and I have chosen Valentine’s Day projects and Valentines crafts as our theme.  I’m excited to give some of these a try (and to tuck some away for when Baby C. is a bit older and has classmates to which she can hand out cards).
