Valentine's Day Then...and Now
I remember when my husband and I shared our first Valentine's Day together as a dating couple. I went ALL OUT (for a 23 year old waitress/student). Weeks beforehand, I hand made construction paper heart garland, cut out hearts and wrote love quotes on them, built a Build-a-Bear, aptly named Hannigan (after the place where we met), and purchased a few pricey gifts in hopes of showing him exactly how much I loved him. After he left for work that morning, Valentine's Day 2007, I went into his apartment and decorated his room with the garland, cut out hearts, balloons, and gifts. I still remember his face when he walked through the door -- priceless.
And now seven years later, I still think of ways to surprise him. Although I'm left with less time and energy after the daily grind (Livia, cleaning teeth, maintaining the house, crocheting, etc), I still try to think of inventive ways to show my love exactly how much I love him.
And this year is no different.
Walking around the local craft store with Livia inspired my 2014 Valentine's Day project -- Canvas Valentines.
What You'll Need:
Canvas Board (I purchased the burlap colored kind)
Paint
Paint brush
Glitter
Felt Stickies
Glue Gun & Glue
Have Fun!
...and Happy Valentine's Day!
