Hi friends! All recovered from Super Bowl Sunday? I have to admit I didn’t watch the whole game (or very intently anyway). We are a baseball family. Come Spring time it will be all baseball all the time I’m sure! And about Spring, I’m happy to report that the ground hog didn’t see his shadow so yay for an early Spring! Until then we still have some fun things to look forward to. One of them being Valentine’s Day! I’ve been sharing lots of Valentine’s Day projects with you this these last few weeks. I just can’t get enough of all the “heart day” inspired projects!

Washi Tape Cover Heart Box: Making Home Base

A few weeks ago, Pick Your Plum was offering washi tape as one of their deals! I was dying to get my hands on some cute pink chevron washi tape but alas, I was too late! I did manage to snags some cute turquoise and white tape with pink hearts, and some pink and white striped tape. I’m seriously addicted to washi tape crafts! After my tape came in the mail, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I had picked up some little heart shaped cardboard boxes from Michaels about a month ago. They were the perfect canvas for some sweet Washi Tape Covered Heart Boxes.

Washi Tape Valentines Boxes

I made a couple of these so the how to is going to be using a red and white variation.

Washi Tape Valentines Boxes Tutorial

The first thing I did was paint the outside of my cardboard boxes white. They were brown, but with the washi tape, it looks better and more clean to start with a white background.

Washi Tape Heart Box TutorialThis is very simple, Start piecing your tape onto the top of the box. You can do this in any pattern you’d like. For this one I just lined them up straight across.

Then you can take your scissors or exacto knife to trim the excess tape. After you’ve trimmed the excess, take the tape a place a piece around the edge of the lid. Then you do the same with the bottom part of the box. It took two pieces of the wider chevron tape to go around the bottom part of the box.

Valentines Day Washi Tape Heart Box

That’s all it takes! Tada! Now you have a sweet little box to put fun Valentine’s Day trinkets in!

I think it’s a great little box to put some Valentine’s goodies in. You can share them with a neighbor, friend, or teacher! I just love how fun and versatile washi tape is!

I also made a Paper Bag and Washi Tape Heart Bunting for Valentine’s Day that you can check out!

This project is partying at some of these great parties, and Savvy Southern Style

    I think I’m just going to find a way to schedule a comment on every post you put up that just says “Love it!” because I have yet to look at something you’ve done that I don’t, well, love! šŸ™‚
    I’m sad I missed the washi tape sale on Pick Your Plum. I got my first roll of tape (and therefore became addicted) and signed up for PYP AFTER they had it!

#ad Homeschool/General parent ā€œproā€ tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent ā€œproā€ tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
šŸ’™
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. šŸ’™šŸ’™
