Valentine Garland

I decided I needed some Valentine decor in the new house so of course its going to included some yarn! To make this all you need is:
Yarn (of course)
a tapestry needle

 a pom pom maker and scrapbook paper
I made about fifteen pom poms 
then using the needle and another piece of yarn strung them all together
cut out some hearts using scrapbook paper
and you have yourself a cute Valentine garland!
cute don't you think

Popcorn machine

In our new house we have turned our dining into a game room we love playing cards and board games! I was thinking it would be really cool to have a popcorn machine, so the search began I found one with the help of my thrift store loving friends for $25.00 still in the box!
 Last night we tried it out I love love love it!!!!
 we watched Pulp Fiction (Noah had never seen it WHAT I know)
I can see lots of movie nights and experiments with popcorn toppings any suggestions?
Happy Monday!
