Sweet and simple is at the heart of this gathering.
A chance to gather friends, young or old to celebrate and create.

First set the table:
A vintage sheet and paper doilies are easy and affordable table dressings. Perfect for a crafting party!

Next, gather your accessories:
Paper plates and napkins are easy to reach and topped off with vintage flatware in this 3 tiered basket, that is easy to move when you are ready to get to craftin'.

And then make sure you have some yummy treats, some simple eats.
Simply sweet sugar cookies are not too far out of reach for little hands and the perfect low-mess food for this party.

Finally, gather your crafty kit for this simple little craft-along.
Setting it all in a pretty basket makes it that much lovelier, don't you think?
(A little tip – having the papers all pre-cut helps if little ones are included.)

All you need to create your own Love Note-Book is some paper, ribbon, glitter and glue. And maybe a fun punch or 2.

and here is a label that you can share.
Just save and print this jpeg to create a cute label for the front of your book.
Of course you can always stamp a label or create your own, whatever inspires you the most!

After you are done, have some cake and take a rest, there will always be more crafting for tomorrow!

I have some v-day candy necklace kits (made by wilton) that I haven't had the opportunity to pull out yet. Maybe we'll build a party around that…
