Cute V day idea!

I had this idea for Josh this year to put together a little "flip pad" filled with the many Reasons why I love him... along with some cute love quotes, most of them Shakespeare. I think it turned out pretty cute! Josh absolutely loves it. I wanted to include different pictures in it as well, but I just didn't have the time... and you know... I'm okay with that. I'm pleased with the results!


I love this quote because you always say "You and Me"!

Josh always gives me my favorite candy from See's. I LOVE these cafe latte truffles!!
I was sick the whole weekend before Valentines Day, plus I think it is always great to make a great "romantic" meal for the two of us. We had delicious ribeye steaks, spaghetti squash, yummy mashed up red potatoes with onions, cheese, and sour cream, and a delightful spinach salad. Don't forget the Champaign... aka Sparkling Apple Cider! It was a very fun evening together! I sure do love my Forever Valentine! xoxo

Valentine Heart Decor

I had some fun this weekend while I was sick making this
cute V-day chandelier decor. I love this so much, I'll probably
keep it around for a while. It was very simple, I just cut out paper
hearts, two if each print, and taped them back to back down a long
piece of thread.
I used large hearts, and tiny little hearts to look like little beads down the thread.

I think this would be a cute idea for a baby mobile over the crib, maybe with some wooden hearts and actual beads for a sturdier, and professional look.

What do you think?

Current Obsession: Watercolor Prints

Etsy is such a great place for fun finds and inspiration. If you have yet to get an Etsy account, I suggest you do so now! My current obsession has been Watercolor Prints! It's a pretty cheep and fun way to add artwork to your home. I am in love with all of these prints, plus many more. :) I want them in my home!

Songs of the Week

So, I'm not usually a big fan of "punk", and I guess this is how I would generalize Bayside. But I really quite enjoy them. Especially lately. I have been listening to their album Sirens and Condolences a lot lately. I like it! I'll share with you some of my favorites. Even if you are not a punk fan either, check it out. You may like Bayside... or at least some of their stuff. :)

Again I apologize for the somewhat annoying You tube videos. Just listen to the music while you surf another page... ;)
