Valentines day gifts? Easy DIY gift!

Adorable and affordable Valentines gifts!

 I bought these glass cups from a local thrift store
for only 65 cents!

 I bought some Valentine scrapbook paper from a craft store.
 They were 59 cents with 50% off!
Yay deals! The glitter letters and ribbon were
from the craft store, as well.
I used Mod Podge to apply the paper and Glue Dots
for the ribbon and letters.

I ripped the Valentines paper into small pieces

and Mod Podged it on the glass cup randomly

....Let the cup dry....

Then, applied the ribbon and glitter letters

with Glue dots!

                                                

Adorable!

                             I owner of the company I work for passed away
                        unexpectedly in June. He was an amazing person with a big heart!
                            I couldn't imagine working for any other company.
                             I will always cherish the memories I have of him.
                              He touched so many lives. I would do anything to
                             have him back with us. The picture below is of me and two
                              of my co-workers. We were on our way to celebrate his life.
