My Valentines Day

Yesterday was such a wonderful day. Valentines Day is always so much fun, though. It's exciting having a day just to dedicate to the one(s) you love. The day started out like any other; Joe and I both went to work. In honor of the holiday I painted little wooden valentines with the kiddos, which was messy but fun. Then when we were both off we went off to our couple's massage. It was so relaxing and felt so nice to be able to have an hour of that. And I know Joe loved it because his back and neck are always hurting, poor guy! Then a couple hours after that we went to dinner at a nice restaurant downtown. Our reservations was at 8 and we weren't seated until 8:45, but despite that and how crowded the place was I still really enjoyed sitting down to a fancy-shmancy dinner with my love. So it ended up being a perfect Valentines Day full of treats, fun, and lots of love!

How was your Valentines Day? Did you do anything special? Either way, I hope it was really, really wonderful!

Handmade Valentine Swap: From Me

Hello everyone, hope you all are having a fab Tuesday! I don't know about you, but I'm so excited for it to be February! Like I've said before, Valentines Day has always been one of my favorite holidays, and I always want to do so much to celebrate. I talked a bit before about this Handmade Valentines Swap I'm participating in, and I finally was able to start. I was put into a group of five girls (myself included) and we were assigned to send each person a Valentine-themed package. I had SO much fun thinking of ideas and putting together a fun package full of hearts and pink and love! 

in each package I included:

a little handwritten note

a paint sample book mark

a darling vintage Valentine (which are free to print here!)

a little heart shaped notebook and pencil

and homemade sugar cookies, not the prettiest things ever but I tried!

So I can now send these out right away, and cannot wait to receive my Valentines from my partners! I will post photos of them as soon as I can!

will you be sending out any Valentines Day snail mail?

Show Your Love!

As cheesy as it is, I seriously have always LOVED Valentines Day! I love any day dedicated to showing everyone you love just how much you love them. Even if you don't have a significant other, it's the perfect day to show your appreciation to your best friends, siblings, parents, teachers, even yourself! Anyone that you can say you love!

So since it's officially Valentines Month, I put together a few gift guides that will really show that special person how much they mean to you!

And here a couple options if you need something pretty to wear that day!
