Valentine’s Inspiration

February 3, 2012

I’m not a big Valentine’s Day fan. It’s sweet and nice, and I like pink as much as the next person, but Michael and I have never bothered to celebrate it. Which, come to think of it, is a bit sad. So maybe this year I’ll slip a surprise treat in his lunch or something.

But even though we’re totally lame about Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t mean I won’t share a little inspiration for you. Enjoy!

You know me by now. I’m a sucker for twigs and branches and anything I can collect by the side of the road. This is a project I might bring myself to try this weekend. If only to brighten our living room a little!

I think this would be the sweetest (and easiest) project if I lived somewhere reliably freezing. Starting to think I’d trade freezing for a tiny glimpse of the sun. I’m starting to forget what it looks like!

Now talk about easy. Make a heart stamp from a toilet paper roll! I love all sorts of printing and I think this would actually be quite sweet!

What about you all? Are you a Valentine’s grinch like me? Have elaborate plans for red roses and chocolates in two weeks?

    I’m definitely a Valentine’s Day grinch. I don’t think that the only day one should receive flowers is on Vday. I hate to be so hard on the holiday, but I’ve always felt it’s better not to subscribe to it and make every day special than to make such a big deal over it.
