Hey...it's me...I'm back!

 We are having a major "snow + ice storm" here in Portland. 

We are essentially "snow-bound" ...so I decided to do a little "browsing".

 When I went to visit my blog I realized my last post was a year ago TODAY exactly!!!

 Wow A YEAR AGO!  My how time flies....

A lot has happened in a year...and where have I been?  Well two years ago I went back to work "outside the home - part-time"...and before I knew it - part-time turned into 40+ hours a week...and blogging and Etsy and Ebay just seemed impossible.

 I have really missed my blogging friends and I have so much to get ya'all caught up on 

if you are still interested? 

In fact just over the Christmas holiday we moved...again...to a new "cozy cottage"

 - so much to show you...so much to talk about -

But I can't forget it's almost Valentine's Day, it's just around the corner ♥ 

The Love Day.... 

so here's a fun + easy idea I found to help celebrate...

It's a paper basket...and we all have some awesome craft paper at hand...

A quick paper container to fill with some Valentine "sweets"...

from Chic 'n Scratch.

♥You can give them to your co-workers, kids or honey ♥

Use your imagination for the "fillings".

 

It only takes minutes to make...and here is  the tutorial.

Have fun...

And please stay tuned...I can't wait to share with you what has happened

 in my life while I was away!

 I have been following you all - but from a quiet distance! 

I am excited to return - and I hope you'll come on board!

Stay Cozy,

Carrie
