Last Minute Ideas for your Lover!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

It is here!

The day of looovvvve.

The day some people will hate...

I'll admit, I went through a few single years where

 I wore all black and despised any love smitten, pink wearing, smiley couple.

But, alas, I am a hopeless romantic and I have found my true love so 

I can be that cheesy Valentine's Day lover today!

As I type this, my husband keeps sending me
"I love you bunny" (one of my pet names)

text messages. 

I love you too boo!

I wanted to share a few quick ideas,  

not that you haven't gotten or given your Valentine something already

They are inexpensive and most importantly thoughtful. 

1.  Print out a larger version of one of your favorite photos in black and white.

I use Snapfish

You can print them out at local places like Walgreens!!

2.  Everyone has "a song". In fact, we have several! 

A few years ago I typed up the lyrics for "Umbrella"

added an umbrella image on the backdrop of the paper

and bought a frame.

He loved it!

3.  Many of you typed up stories about how you met.

Have you printed it?

See my example here

Do it and put it in a frame, add some prety stickers and voila! 

{This is actually a gift from my step-mother Tricia on our anniversary.}

4.  Write a letter. I swear, hubs isn't a writer. 

He's more of a math person, but when he writes me a letter, I melt.

He wrote me my first letter and had my matron of honor 

give it to me the day we got married.

I have received a few letters since then, and when I read them,

I cry.

I promise you there is nothing better than a letter.

It costs time and some true heart pouring love.

5.  Go a little retro and make a CD {or compile mp3} of all the songs you two love.

There are certain songs we listen to and just think about the fun

we had on this vacation or that time we did something cool.

Music is always a great gift!

6.  If all else fails, bake him cookies!

I still have my dough sitting in the fridge.

I have to finish these babies later!
I got side tracked with my crafty gift for hubs yesterday.
I'll share after I give it to him!

I cannot wait to see how everyone shows their love.

One year, I made doggie treats because my dog was my Valentine.

Whatever works, but remember, the more positive energy you send out

to the universe, the more you get back.

If you act like you hate love and don't want anything to do with it, that is what you'll get.

Maybe go listen or watch The Secret

That would be a wonderful gift to give yourself.

As for now, I have to go get ready for an eye brow commercial...

Say what?
Yes. I'm giving a testimonial as to why this lady is da bomb!

I even wrote about her place here.

For realz though, my eyebrows now look profeshhh.

More on this later--

Happy Valentine's Day  ladies!
May your day be full of red & pink hearts and lots-O-loooovvvvvieeee.
