Post-Valentine's day Haiku Friday

Flowers will never
Compare to a valentine

Ah, Valentine's day. I know that I may be in the minority among my peers in regards to this holiday, but I frickin LOVE Valentine's day.

Chocolate? Yes please. Wearing pink? Awesome! Being surrounded with flowers and hearts and sparkles? HOORAY!

My husband has always been the World's Very Best Valentine. On our first Valentine's day together as a couple, he invited me to his apartment for a romantic dinner.

This is what was waiting for me when I arrived.

Best. Valentine. EVER. 

When I got home from work yesterday, he greeted me with a beautiful pink tea rose plant. 

Second. Best. Valentine. EVER. 

You can expect another Cinderella Ate My Daughter review next week, Readers, along with a few more projects! 

Until next time! <3

My Funny Valentine

I LOVE Valentines Day!

My creative genius of a sister has always been the queen of card making. While we were living together, she would make these beautiful, BEAUTIFUL cards for every holiday. Valentine's day was especially fun, and our apartment would be awash with pink paper, ribbons, and scrap booking supplies of every kind.

I've never been much of a scrapbooker, but I decided to take what I learned from my sister and try my hand at making my own valentines this year. I wanted to incorporate crochet/embroidery in some way, and after a bit of trial and error (I found out the hard way that sewing card stock that had already been glued makes the paper buckle and wrinkle like crazy), I am quite pleased with the results:

Happy Valentine's Day, Readers!
