POPSMagical thinking My sweet kid makes me laugh on a daily basis. I really need to create a jar for her. Some days I could use a good laugh.

POPSWorld's Smallest Postal Service You know who would love to get a very small letter with a magnifying glass to read it? Kids. What a super surprise for the child in your life. I have made some (not this small) for my daughter (and no fancy wax seal either). She still has them. The applications are endless!

POPSSewing a letter I love how she created the lined notebook paper. I think a letter sewn on anything would be a precious gift for someone. A pillow case to give them sweet dreams? Inside a shirt to wear close to the heart? A set of plain dinner napkins to tell guests how grateful you are for their friendship and fellowship? Okay, I'm going to learn embroidery this summer. I will!

POPSThankfulness Tree This is the second year we have had a Thankfulness Tree. I have some fake branches that I put in a big vase to hold the leaves. I went to a scrapbooking store and used their die cut machine to make many many leaves from paper. If you buy the paper there, you can use the machines for free. I punched holes in the leaves to hang on the branches without having to mess with string or glue or hangers of any sort. I place the leaves in a bowl with a pen so any guests that come during November can write something they are thankful for on a leaf and hang it up. On Thanksgiving we read the leaves and we give thanks for all the friends and family that have come to our house. Then I put the leaves in a bag and date it so we can read them in future years too. Yesterday, my daughter wrote that she was thankful for "being born" and for "being in this family." I am so thankful for those things too. Go, get your thankfulness on!

POPSA Map of Your Heart A terrific thing to do on Valentine's Day (or any day). Create a map of your heart, have your child(ren) do it too. Suitable for framing, I think. I know just the place to hang it too.

POPSthat elusive embroidery I'm still in love with embroidery, but haven't started yet (still!). It never occurred to me to hang the pieces in the hoop. How cute. I wonder where I could find vintage wooden hoops? These cuties are from Miniature Rhino on Etsy.

POPSWrite down your love What a terrific gift. Not only does the recipient get a list of things you love about him/her, but it also shows you thought a loving them about them every single day for a year. That is the real gift.

POPSCustom birthday plate I love the simplicity of this. I've been thinking of designing my own plates for my kitchen wall, but I really like that the information is actually imprinted into the clay. Gives me something to think about.

POPSSmall valentine treat boxes I love the idea of having my daughter draw pictures of the recipient. The string makes it so cute. Who doesn't have a few matchboxes hanging around?

POPSDIY Sweetheart Brownie Valentine Print right on the paper bag! Now, why didn't I think of that? My treat packaging options just got much bigger. PS - I finished the red velvet cake balls tonight. Hurray for treats to share with friends.

POPSCreate Polaroids with Poladroid I'm testing out a new application, Poladroid. Download the app for free and then drag and drop your digital photos. It creates a Polaroid-like image. For the fun factor, it takes awhile for your image to "develop" or you can shake the picture for faster development, just like a real Polaroid. Go here to try it out.

POPSVintage Transfers for Embroidery I'm looking to pick up a new skill this fall, since my kid started school. I thought about knitting, but seeing these transfers, I might try my hand at stitching. How fun would it be to embellish a transfer like the last one? Fun, I'd say. Halloween hand towels, here I come!
