It's Friday - that's a good thing - and it's Valentine's Day, which makes it even better. We keep it pretty low key with simple hand made cards and inexpensive gifts.

We may go out to eat for breakfast or lunch. But we are not fans of crowds, waiting to be seated or overpriced dinners.
Handyman is thoughtful all year long which is sweet and much more meaningful to me than a once-a-year bouquet and fancy dinner.

College Girl and I bake heart shaped iced Anise cookies every February. This year we also decided to decorate a Valentine's Day gingerbread house!

Here's an idea - pick up a discounted gingerbread house kit after Christmas (Wilton Kits can be found at Target, Walmart and craft stores), purchase some Valentine candy and spend a wintery February afternoon creating your own Love Shack!

ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Shawn! After reading your lovely post, I am totally in the mood for Valentine's Day! Valentine hugs to YOU!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Valentine's Day, Shawn! I so agree with you - why spend so much to go out to dinner or on flowers on one day when you can get "love" throughout the year? And I absolutely love your Valentine's Day gingerbread house. What a great idea! I am definitely going to try it next year!!! I love how you photographed it, too.
ReplyDeletethat house is too cute. I like your ideas will be back .HPS Laura
ReplyDeleteLove that gingerbread house! what a great idea to get one after Christmas and decorate later, when things aren't so busy. It's beautiful. I love your teapot card too.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so romantic. So sweet to make the gingerbread house with all the heart candies.
