    Very cute, Debi..thanks! :) I need to get my hands on some of those little hearts. Looked when I was at Dollar Tree tonight, but they didn't have any. I need to get to a Dollar General...they might have them. :)

    Gramma Rita - try the Valentine section at the Dollar Tree. That's where I bought a pack a few days ago.

    Thanks for the link Clara - I saw some real pretty squares there. :)

    This is lovely. I think my 5 year old has a heart-shaped bangle somewhere - I might have to transform it!
