Happy Heart Team On Etsy :)

Happy Saturday!  My blog post for today might be my first real "guest blog" post.  Mostly everything below was written by Ashley, my friend and senior captain over at The Happy Hearts Team on Etsy.  She is the sweetest person and I could not ask for a better Etsy team pal.  Happy Hearts is a very new Etsy team but it is full of kind and supportive shop owners.  Please check it out for yourself, we are a budding baby at the moment but you can look forward to lots of fun things from our team.

  Here are my favorite picks from Ashley's shop and after that, you can read all about The Happy Hearts Team on Etsy!

Ashley lives in outer space but she still ships alll over planet earth...check out her Etsy shop for yourself :)

Hello Everybody!
My name is Ashley King and I am the founder and captain of the Happy Hearts Team!

I am a Christian and am a member of a number of Christian Etsy Teams, as well as Bead Teams! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any teams with the two combined. I felt called to offer a team that did include both, so I created the Happy Hearts Team!

This team offers Christian beaders the opportunity to share their testimonies, personal experiences, and their beading creations!!

Jesse is our team Leader and Chief team promoter!

If you're a Christian and love to bead, please feel free to join our team! If you have any questions, please contact me at www.ashleyqueen.etsy.com! Or you can contact Jesse at www.JesseAnneDesigns.etsy.com!!

God Bless!!

 Here are some of my favorites picks by Since Sass on Etsy.  To check out the entire collection for yourself, follow my link:

Valentine's Day Soaps

Heart Shaped Valentine's Day Soaps.

Stamped soaps, inspired by candy conversation hearts, are great gifts for friends. Put in cellophane bags tied with tags; adorn with glitter.

Tools and Materials Nonstick 9-inch square pan
Heart-shape cookie cutter
Glass measuring cup
Glycerin soap
Bench scraper
Soap colorant or food coloring
Spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol
Cutting board
Needlenose pliers
1/8-inch metal letter stamps
Masking tape

Heart-Shaped Soap How-To We used a 2-inch cookie cutter (1 inch high) and 2 1/2 pounds of glycerin soap-sold at crafts stores-to make 16 hearts.
1. Depending on your equipment, yields may vary. To determine how much glycerin you'll need, fill pan with water to 1/4 inch below height of cookie cutter; pour water into measuring cup. Record amount; discard water.
2. Cut soap into small pieces with bench scraper; fill measuring cup. Microwave on medium heat until melted; stir. Add soap and heat until you've reached the water amount. Add colorant; stir. Pour liquid into pan. Spray with alcohol to eliminate bubbles.
3. Let harden at room temperature, 2 hours. Freeze 10 minutes.
4. Turn upside down onto cutting board. Create soaps with cookie cutter; pull cutter out with pliers if it sticks. Tape stamps together to form words, and imprint on soap, applying light, even pressure.

Valentine's Day DIY

Some of my favorite DIY Valentine's Day Projects.

Heart Garland

String a heart garland on a headboard or mantle. To create the garland, cut similarly sized hearts from decorative paper. Cut another set slightly smaller than the first. Glue each small heart on top of a large heart. With a hole punch, punch a hole on either side of each heart. Thread string through the holes in the hearts.

Romantic Flowers

Give a discount frame a makeover by accenting its features with pretty paper. Make a template using scrap paper, trace the template on floral-pattern paper, cut out, and attach using spray adhesive. Glue strips of red paper over the floral-paper edges

"I Love You" Library Card & Journal

Make your sweetheart feel special on Valentine's Day by giving them a unique card describing 10 reasons why you love them. Tuck a handwritten library card ( template is available, below) inside a library card pocket (found at school supply stores), stamp the pocket with a pretty image, and attach it to a nice journal to complete the gift.

·     Get the library card pattern.
