Valentine's Day: Third Day ~ PEZ!!!

This weekend we had my stepson at our house. Of course I had to let him in on the fun. If he was with us more he would have gotten 14 days, too. I decided to include him while he was here, though, to keep it festive without going overboard and smothering him with 14 gifts at once.

Valentine's Day: Second Day ~ You're My Favorite Goober!

The second day of Valentine's was Goobers, because he's my favorite Goober.

Valentine's Day: First Day ~ You Rock, Valentine!

I decided to do 14 days of Valentine's this year for my hubby. I went to the store at the end of January and bought a small gift for 13 days. When I say small gift, I mean a piece of candy, sucker, gum, or whatever else I could find which I could use it's name to create a cute saying. Every day I will give one to my husband. On the 14th day I will have an actual gift for him.... probably a new tool.

The first day of Valentine's was.... You Rock, Valentine!

Valentine's Day: Card for the Hubby

Ok... So this one gets a little personal. This is the Valentine's Day card I made for my husband last year. I likely won't reveal this year's until after he gets it. I don't know... we'll see. Since I decorated both the outside and inside, though, I decided to put pics of both on here. Yes, you'll be able to read the personal message that I wrote inside to him. But I don't reckon it's anything so personal that should be kept private.

This card was made on white cardstock using scrapbook paper, ribbons, stamps, felt, and markers.

Valentine's Day: Decorative Jar

Today's Valentine's Day craft is a simple one that I did last year for my stepson's school Valentine's Day party. One other mom and I were the party planners for all the class parties, so we had a blast coming up with decorations and crafts. We had heart shaped suckers for all the kids. They were going to be used for a craft (that I will post later) toward the end of the party. I thought it would be cute to use them as decorations until they were needed for the craft. I took one of my spaghetti jars from my stash, added some cute Valentine's scrapbook paper, edged it with ribbon, and placed the suckers inside. I wish I would've gotten a better picture that day, but this is the best I have. You get the idea, though.

Valentine's Day: Wreath

For the last full week of January, it's time to move on to some Valentine's Day crafts. I've had my Valentine's decorations up since I took down my Christmas ones. If you don't have them yet, though, now is the time to get going.

My first Valentine craft is a wreath. I did this with a wire heart shaped wreath base. I added the layer of red ribbon first, using flower ties at each loop. Once I got that completed all the way around I did the black layer. Next was the zebra ribbon. I used wire ribbon so it would be easier to shape the way I wanted. Again, I used flower ties all the way around. I bought the "LOVE" as pre-cut unfinished wood at Hobby Lobby. I painted the red and black, but it looked too plain for me. So I added the extra designs to it. The picture in the "O" is one of our engagement pictures from a few years ago. I thought it was pretty fitting. I debated on how to attach the LOVE sign to the wreath, but I finally ended up using black jewelry wire. Finally, I added the ribbon to hang it from above.
