Valentines Day

Valentines Day
One day before Valentines Day!!! Need some last minute ideas? Here are a few of my favorite’s…..

Great date night movie!!!

MadeByGirl – DEEPLY MADLY
$35 - madebygirl.com- I love her work!!!! She has many more to choose from.

“Guys Bouquet”- Let’s be honest here, what would your guy REALLY want for Valentines Day?! Although I think if you added a few more of your man’s favorite things instead of just the drinks it would be even better. You could even take this idea and fill a basket instead, (It won’t matter to him haha)
“Kids Valentines Card” http://24-7-365.blogspot.com/2009/02/lavish-me-with-praise.html More how-to here. So simple! and So cute!
I hope everyone enjoys their Valentines!!! and I hope you use some of my ideas that I found for you. I would love to see your handmade Valentine!!!

Inspirational Collage for Valentines Day!

Paula's Valentine Inspiration Collage
 
I know some people are totally into Valentines Day, and others aren’t so much.  I see it as a day to show love and appreciation to your special someone more than you usually would. Whether it be a simple card saying ” I Love You”  or getting dressed up for your loved one, wearing those sexy heels that have been sitting in your closet for months.  Lighting candles and playing a simple card game on the floor, no phones, no tv, just the two of you… Going out to a candle light dinner. In the collage above I added images that might inspire you to do some of the things I just discussed. What is your image of a perfect Valentines Day?
Again I would love to hear some feed back.. maybe you could give me an idea for next Tuesday!

Valentine Inspiration

Need some ideas for Valentine’s day?!?!

I’ll be “setting the mood” for you love birds the next couple of posts, I hope you enjoy… I should get one thing out on the table before we go any further on our journey here at Inspire. I am not a cook! You will most likely NEVER see any recipes from me here on this blog because I have no idea what I’m talking about when it comes to food. Ahhhh there I said it!!! ;) Consider this V-day post the “after dinner” part.
