Valentine's Day is one of those things that everyone seems to have a love/hate relationship with. I have to confess, that I've been on both sides of the fence throughout the years. This year, I think I'll stay on the loving it side. Yup, it's a corny holiday, but so what? Corny can be fun, too!
To celebrate the launching of this blog, I'm posting a Valentine's Day tutorial and hosting a giveaway. Tomorrow, I'll be posting a tutorial on how to make this cute, heart-shaped brooch. Today through Saturday, I'm giving two of the brooches away through a giveaway.

Love the brooches, Rachel; they're so sweet. I follow you on FB and Twitter. :) This year for Valentine's, I have a DIY idea of sewing heart knee-patches onto a pair of Cedar's pants. I think it could be a manly nod to V-Day. For an activity, I'm thinking Color Me Mine--that is, if I can get my artist to come down to such a lowly level. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love that idea. If only I had a little Cedar cousin to copy it for! You'll have to tell me if that artist of yours does color ;)
DeleteCedar wishes he had a little Estelle cousin--stop holding out on us!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I follow you on Fb, but don't have twitter. :> I am planning to make a heart garland with scrap book paper and/or tissue paper and string, possibly using left over white petals from our wedding too! And hoping to hang some red hearts on the white tree in our living room. (one of the ones from our reception with white lights on it.) :) Love the idea for Cedars pants too! :D
ReplyDeleteI love how you're using your wedding decorations to celebrate! Adds another level of specialness.
DeleteI've liked your fb page.
ReplyDeleteI've liked you on twitter (had to create an account for this one ;)
I love the rose-heart garland; the pink roses are a lovely shade!
I don't do DIY, but my favorite Valentine's memory is when we made my friend her favorite birthday dessert (her bday is Valentine's Day), and surprised her with it and a party.
DIY isn't the only way to celebrate! I love the party! That's a great day to have a birthday :)
DeleteOoooh, goodness. You told me to enter, but we're so boring I can't think of any good Valentine's Day ideas! OK, I'm going to go a little risque here. ;) www.adoreme.com has really cute lingerie... *ahem* (Seriously, I have a pretty good new-customer coupon if you're interested. Just lemme know!)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I follow you on Twitter.
My dear, risque is never boring ;)
DeleteYou can email me the coupon, not sure if I'll use it or not, but it's worth a look!
