Color Me {Shades of Love}

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it's no surprise that love has started to fill the air. Everywhere I go shade of pink and red seem to pop above all the rest. I remember Valentine's Day parties in school filled with hearts and candied treats for all. At the time it seemed so silly, yet still fun. But, as I get older, I can't help but want to return to the days when hearts galore filled the room and there were more sweet treats than I could eat. So, this Valentine's day, embrace the love. Fill your house with heart balloons and tissue paper cut outs. String the word "love" across the mantel and wear the shades of love from head to toe. It will be like your own little Valentine's party. Oh, and don't forget to show the one you love how much you care! 

How are you celebrating Valentine's Day this year?

Be Mine

Will you be mine? Oh good! I was hoping you would say yes! Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and I'm finding myself remembering the days in school when everybody would bring in a sweet treat for the class and each person would have a box full of lovely little messages. Admittedly, I've never been a big fan of the day, avoiding restaurants like the plague and opting to stay in with a nice bottle of wine instead. However, while I try to show R how much he means to me everyday, it's nice to give him a little extra reminder every Valentine's Day with homemade treats and a sweet message. Instead of buying a card this year, I decided to get a little crafty and take the time to make a valentine. Playing off the heart I cut out, I punched out the words "My Heart Belongs to You" with my new (and super cool) Martha Stewart letter presser. It's simple and sweet, just like I feel the day should be.

Whether you are giving valentines to 1 or 100, show them how much you really care with a handmade note!
