Heart Frame Photo Prop

Heart Frame Photo Prop:


  • (1) Large box
  • Sharpie
  • Scissors
  • Gorilla glue
  • red wrapping paper
  • (2) spools of ribbon


  1. I cut the box open, and removed the two skinny sides.

    2. I ended up with two square card board pieces.
    3. Using brown paper, I made a very simple template for a heart shape.

    4. After I cut out the simple heart shape, I then drew another heart shape inside. 5. I laid the template on the card board, and drew the design on with a sharpie.
    6. I made two hearts, one on each square of card board.

    7. Use very sharp scissors to cut the card board.
    8. You will end up with two very rough hearts.
    9. Using the Gorilla Glue, use enough glue to bond the two hearts together. Then let the glue cure per the box instructions.
    10. Gather your tape, scissors, wrapping paper, and ribbon.

    11. Begin wrapping the heart, you may need to gather or pinch the paper as you go, tape every few inches.
    12. When you get to the center point of the heart, cut a slit in your paper to get a crisp point.
    13. Cut the center of the heart out, so that you can begin wrapping the inside.
    14. Cut slits in the paper every few inches, so that you can pull the paper as close to the form as possible, with out tearing the paper.
    15. Your heart is now covered!
    16. Start winding your ribbon around the heart, and tape the back side, every few wraps to secure the ribbon in place.
    17. Your heart photo prop is complete!


    Just an example of how the prop can be used. I will be taking pictures of my two boys, while they hold it! (I think it will make pretty cute valentines.)

{CLOSED} Giveaway: New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d

{CLOSED Giveaway} Barely There® $250 Bra & Panty Wardrobe

Congratulations to Brianna N.,  thank you to all that entered!  As a busy mom of two wild boys, I cannot tell you the last time I took the time to really focus 100% on myself and purchase a bra! I would love to tell you that I have a boudoir filled with lacy things, and I feel so beautiful while wearing them. Lets get real, I have two bras and I cannot tell you when or where they were purchased! (One is black and the other is nude, neither is lacy or frilly.)  I would also love to tell you, that I know these questionable bras fit perfectly. I can recall being measured and fitted before I had children, and the "knowledgeable" woman suggested a bra that would solve all of my concerns. Having a large bust line; I know all about popping out, bulging, rubbing, underwire battles, and constantly fiddling with my straps. Once again, I thought because I had spent a large amount way back when, that I was wearing a bra that fit properly. In November I had the joy of atten
