Sharing the love...

Valentine's Day is here again...  And this year with a little help from Pinterest...  I started with a sneak attack...

 The weekend before Valentine's Day, I started posting valentines on my families bedroom doors...  Adding a couple every day... with the top ten reasons why I loved them...

 Then for the big day... I knitted them these cup cozies, and appliqued felt hearts on to them...

And yes... I incorporated skull and cross bones with a v-day twist...

Some how everyone in the family... (but me)... think they're cool... so I went with it...

I got the cozy idea from here...

The table seemed a little bare so I spruced it up with some fake rose petals...

To go along with my mason jars and cake plates...

For school I found this cute idea... but didn't have the time to print and cut out the cute card...

So we made do... with index cards and foam stickers...  and my sons handwriting...(which I think is more special anyway)

Since Valentine's Day fell on a Thursday this year... I wanted  to do a little something special for the ladies that volunteer with me on Thursdays at my children's school...

So I knit them each a cup cozy too!(In my spare time a.k.a... 2am)... and brought in coffee for everyone...
They were so surprised... and well worth it!

That is how I shared my love...

Happy Valentine's Day!

So... this year since we have obligations on Valentines night, I decided to celebrate this morning...

 After everyone was in bed, I decorated our dinning room...

And I got up early to make a big breakfast( this is a big deal in my family, since I'm not a morning person they have to usually put up with cereal or toast)...  They were very surprised...


I put individual servings in muffin wrappers for some color... and it made clean up a cinch...

I also made little treat boxes for everyone...

I used Washi tape for the first time, when I made the tags... let me just say... I think it is my new favorite thing... Don't know what Washi tape is?  Click here and you will see...  ( although I must warn you... it can be very addicting)

Ssssoooooo... easy! 

Well I hope your Valentine's Day was full of love and chocolate!  I think I'm going to go eat mine now...
Happy Valentine's...

Oh!  I thought I would share with you a V-day decoration my daughter made me(all her own idea I might add)... She made a garland with just paper doilies(Dollar Tree), and paper fasteners...  It turned out so cute!

I guess the crafting gene doesn't fall far from the tree...
