Happy Valentine’s Day, my dears!! Even if you don’t like the day for its romantic overtones, I do hope that you indulge in a little chocolate and perhaps some pampering. hehe! I have some plans for today; although the a bit of a damper has been put on the general mushiness of the day because I have an Algebra test! (How typical! lol!)

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, here are a few links to pretty web pages I’ve run across. Also, I’ve included a link to a downloadable, vintage Valentine I scanned and formatted. You can print off and share with your loved ones! I know its a wee bit late; I wanted to post it a few days ago but the week managed to get away from me. So alas, hopefully someone needs a last-minute card!

1920s Vintage Valentine

Download the .jpg file here. Print off on card stock or heavyweight photo paper and follow the assembly instructions. Write a sweet something in it for your loved one, and present to them (perhaps with some Hershey kisses or tickets to a movie!)!!

Despite my best laid plans for returning to blogging today, I decided that I needed to be on a blogging break until after the first of the year. Why, you ask? Well, between the craziness that is the holidays, and the many things brewing in the Elegant Musings studio, I’ve had to make some decisions about what is optional and what isn’t. Blogging (sadly) fell into the former category. I have loads to tell you, but no time to sit and write them!! So, my dears, I’ll be posting a wee Shoppe announcement in a few days, but besides that, it’ll be quiet in my little corner...

...until January 4, 2008, that is! Then the real fun begins... Lets just say it involves much cuteness and artwork...

Wishing you a Happy New Year!!!

I’m going to take a wee blog break until after Christmas; probably sometime later next week. So I will wish you all a lovely, merry and joyous Holiday!! And if you’re traveling to be with family or friends, may your journey be safe. Have a lovely time, my friends: I hope all your Christmas wishes come true!!

Happy Holidays,

As promised, the Star Ornament Tutorial is now up on my website!. I know its a little late in the game, considering Christmas is literally just around the corner! Perhaps though this would be great for some last minute gifts--or even make cute package-toppers! Have fun with this tutorial; the possibilities and variations are really endless.

Cheers & Creativity,

p.s. I’ll be back later with the weekly Etsy post...
