Happy New Year! Welcome to our first Crafts 'n things online newsletter of 2012. We've packed this issue full of colorful Valentine ideas sure to inspire. Who has time for the "winter blues" with so much pink and red goodness at your fingertips?

Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. Do you craft with kids — your own or a whole classroom? They'll love making the adorable Paula the Penguin Valentine Box. Tweens and teens will fall for the Happy Hearts frame, featuring faux candy heart messages and a trendy touch of bling.

Surprise your sweetie with a beautiful, handmade Love You! Card, or delight a friend with a Pretty Patchwork Gift Cone created from fabric scraps and felt. Wear your heart on your sleeve, really your wrist, when you make the lovely Key to My Heart Paper Bead Bracelet. Making paper beads is a wonderful way to spend frosty February nights!
