A Frugal & Outdoorsy Valentine's Day Craft
February 14th is right around the corner, and this weekend it dawned on me that I needed to come up with a couple of no-frills Valentine's Day gifts for my oh-so-frugal, mountain-man husband. I LOVE being surrounded by nature- in fact, living in Los Angeles, a regular diet of hiking, beach-walking and camping is what keeps me sane! Fortunately, I married someone who shares my appreciation of wide open spaces, so when I thought about what he might like for Valentine's Day, it wasn't an expensive, glossy box of chocolates, or even a store-bought card. (I happen to love those things and buy them for other people, but not for my husband.) For Valentine's Day inspiration for my husband, I turned to some of the "natural treasures" we have around the house; little polished rocks and especially straight twigs- the things that find their way into our pockets while we're out exploring.
By Kate on February 6, 2012 I ‘ve been scratching my head trying to come up with a card for my hubby {AKA the non-romantic type }. I finally decided to make this pixely popup heart card! They are really minimal (which I love) and take about 20 minutes to make (that includes the card, insert and envelope). You can even make some pixely confetti to put inside the card (if you are a big kid like me!).

This is one of the first crafts I'd ever posted online. I used to belong to a community called Craftster.org (waaaay back in the day). It's still around but I rarely remember to visit. However, it pops up on my radar about this time of year.Over in Beyond Beyond towers we have one weakness, of the Achilles Heal variety and it is eggs. Scrambled, poached, sunny side up, boiled – whatever way you can imagine them we have had them in all the many fangled ways that you can imagine! What we have never had is an invitation in an egg and this exploded our minds not even blew them. So, if you want to fry people’s minds like eggs then you can learn how to make these eggtastic wonders here on Poppytalk . Droolsome, and after you make your message in an egg we like paprika and parma ham in our scrambled eggs.
