These are my all time favorite "love" quotes!

~Alfred Lord Tennyson

 

"Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild."

~Alexis Delp

 

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

~Helen Keller

 

"I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you."

Handmade Valentine's Day Card

Whoa...next week is Valentine's Day! Really, didn't we just leave January. 

For me February is filled with lots of special days not only V-day but B-day's...which includes mine as well.  I won't go into much detail about my b-day, that will be for another ranting post about how I'm getting old, all the grey hair I have, the wrinkles that pop up out of nowhere, my grumpiness, my forgetfulness....okay I'm going off track here. 

This post is about a super duper easy handmade Valentine's Day card.  If you're a crafterista like myself you will definitely have everything that is needed in your stash of craft supplies.

Card stock

Letter Stamps/Ink

Scrap fabric

Thread

Sewing Machine

Honestly, look how easy it was to make.  I stamped what I wanted it to say.  I cut hearts out of the fabric.  Then sewed them on.  You could even hand stitch it.

I love my hubby and loving him "IS" the best feeling in the world!

Sorry peeps!!  This is the only V-Day project that I had to post.   I hope you like it!

Everyone have a fabulous day.

I surely have the Sweetest Valentine!!

My hubby is awesome!!  

This sneaky guy woke up early to put my gift into my truck, so I'd see it getting into the vehicle!

Well look what I received for Valentine's Day! I am soooo happy, I've been eyeballing the thing every time we go to BestBuy.  I already have a e-reader, not a top brand but it works.  So I didn't necessarily need to have it. But every time I saw the KindleFire I swear I heard heavenly voices singing, lol!!

Thanks honey buns, I love you!!  Not only today, but forever!

Mondays!!

We all have them.....

some have bad ones, some have good ones.

This Monday is not bad. But I'm excited about NEXT Monday!! 

Why...... 

Oh it's my Birthday!! Yay!!

it's my birthday, it's my birthday....we're gonna party like it's my birthday!!!

Since Valentines day and my birthday are only six days apart.... I don't ask for anything fancy, I don't demand 2 gifts, I'm not picky - most of the time, I don't need to be lavished with diamonds - I already have them. I don't go bonkers because I didn't get flowers, or the giant bear that is bigger than my lil ole 5'1-5'2 self....<---man, I'm short! lol! 

Fifi made this*! 

Why do they make bears this big anyways? lol!!

I've never been one to want expensive things or dinners at big restaurants.  The hubs spoils me all year round, I have every thing I need and most things that I want. I'm happy with a card and chocolates. I just don't understand people going broke for holidays or birthdays. 

Whatever you do I hope it makes you HAPPY!  

Valentines day will be Chinese take-out and movies for us!  and a Weekend get away for my birthday!  With a spa day thrown in the mix!  Massage, mani, pedi, facial, lunch!!  I love this particular spa,  they are sooooo nice and all the girls always do a great job with whatever they're doing.  I can't wait.

Happy Early Valentines Day to everyone!!

All you need is L-O-V-E.....

Well, probably a little more than that...

I guess I'm on a pillow kick....because as you can see I made more!  

How can you not love your own L-O-V-E pillows!! 

Plus who doesn't love ruffles and pink?

I had a fun time making these!!

As you can see, my "E" is a little wonky! It's okay I still love it!!

Why is the "E" a little wonky you ask....well, because of not so great planning.  I usually eyeball stuff that I make...so when I was sewing my seams, I guess I went in too far on the inside of the "E" seam, which is making its ends kind of close in. 

I L-O-V-E u for taking the time to visit my page!

L-O

V-E

My  L-O-V-E pillows are about 12 inches tall.

My "O" pouf, don't you just adore it!

  I was in the middle of making this when my needle broke earlier this week.

After V-Day  I can still use the "O" pouf as a regular decor pillow if I want to. 

Doesn't it look like a yummy cupcake?

Valentine's Day is 11 days away annnnddd 17 more days till my birthday.....eeek!!  Not sure if I've said how old I am before, but without looking at past posts, can you guess how old I'm going to be?

Love, love, love - Valentine Rag Pillow covering

What!!! Another pillow!!  Yes, I make tons of pillows.....1) super easy to make, 2) "hello" they are too cute and 3) you can never have to many pillows.  But this one is special.......it's for Valentine's Day!!  ♥ <smooch, smooch>

Using all my red scraps!!

Sewed my bow-tie garland!! I really wanted to leave it on the wall! :^(

I cut all the bows off of the thread and positioned them on the white paisley fabric I used, I then pinned them, then sewed them on!!  Lots of work!! 

Here it is before sewing the back on.

I just love Valentine's day, not only cause it's a day of love, but because I get to eat chocolate without the guilt!! (",)

And it's just around the corner.....this year is already flying!
