Day 10: Valentine's Card Ideas

What would Valentine's Day be without hand-made cards filled with love? Remember when we were younger and we got to decorate a shoe box and then pass out valentine's? Ah, those were the glory days. I always had SO much fun decorating my shoebox and now I have even more fun making cards for all of my loved ones. I'm constantly looking for new and creative ways to make cards and my jaw literally dropped when I saw those beautiful cards made with paint strips! AH, someone was using the right side of their brain that day.

Day 2: Gifts For Her

Day Twooooo. Feeling the love, yet? I know I am. Valentine's Day is always a special day to me, whether I'm single at the time or not. This is because it's also my mom's birthday! Pretty cool, right? My dad likes it because it a). makes it that much easier to remember and b). like killing two birds with one stone. Alvi and I normally don't spoil each other on Valentine's Day. To be honest, we usually go without presents. We instead spend the night making dinner together and then either going to see a movie, or just watching one at home. Lazy, cozy, perfect. BUT, if he just so happens to be reading this I wouldn't mind any of the above ;)

I'd also be completely happy with a small box of chocolates and a kiss. How about you?
