Yankee Doodle Dandy - Proud To Be Crafting in the USA

LoveBug Creations wanted to give a SHOUT OUT to our troops and to remember all the people who have sacrificed so that we can live in a country where FREEDOM RINGS!  Here's Mama LoveBug's Yankee Doodle Dandy brooch to commemorate this occasion.

Everyone have a safe Memorial Day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Rumble in the Jungle - Pink Style

Wearable art brooches are rumbling in the jungle, pink style that is.......Mama LoveBug has been going zebra in a big way with these two pink zebra brooches and several more colors to choose as well.  I also designed a paper brooch for the Junior Red Hats out there.  These three will soon be joining the other brooches for sale on our Facebook Page so check them out as well.  

Before I forget - I had two questions recently that I want to answer.

#1 - How do you wear these?  They each come with a pin and clasp on the back so you can wear them on a coat, shirt, etc.

#2 - I love them, but I don't wear pins - what can I do?  Since they have the pin and clasp, you can pin them to your purse, backpack, notepad, etc.

Shout Out to Fans of Red Hats and Butterflies

Mama LoveBug has several friends who are Red Hats so she whipped up two different Red Hat brooches – one has the Red Hat nestled on a SU rosette and the other Red Hat is on a side petal of the flower brooch.  Check on our FB page for more details if you’d like to purchase one for a Red Hat you love or for yourself.

Butterflies are so pretty and remind Mama LoveBug of the joys of spring.  Here is a butterfly brooch to add to the collection of handmade paper brooches.  Check out the business page at lovebugcreations3 at gmail dot com
