Hope everyone had a great weekend! Spent the weekend in Portland, what a great city! So I did not get my Friday post out. So here it is!

Every month I will go through checklist and provide you what a Summer (August) couple should be working on. Since this is the first one, it will be more than a few items. As each month goes by you will see what you should be working on a tailor it for your wedding!

Valentine Ideas

We are less than a week away from Valentine’s Day. When I was creating my newsletter each month I tried to show off a craft idea that you could use for either your house or your wedding. I am continuing this, but on the blog, so each month I hope you find some inspiration. So around the first of the month be on the lookout for something to I hope lift your spirits and get your craft on…

This one is great for the gardener valentine on your list or as a great wedding favor for the couple that loves the great outdoors or has a garden themed wedding.

Seed-Starter Valentine

Propagating seeds is a little like nurturing relationship: The more attention and care they get, the more likely they are to flourish and thrive. Give flower seeds with little pots that they can take root in. Put seeds in plain white coin envelopes available at stationery stores, and label with an eraser stamp. Or use a rubber stamp, or make a heart with thumbprints. Put growing instructions on back, noting when seedlings need to be transplanted.
