Be Mine

Happy Valentine's Day! We've been hit with a lot of snow today, but luckily Dave and I decided to celebrate over the weekend instead of today. I couldn't imagine going out in this weather! I got in touch with my inner-Martha yesterday and pumped out some Valentine goodies for Dave. Lately, I've been in bed by midnight (and if you know me, that's EARLY), but I stayed up until 3 am working on this and that. I'm pretty proud of these handmade cards and tags and plan to make these on several occasions and holidays.

I made this card with pink card stock and semi-translucent black paper and sandwiched a photo from BB's birthday in the middle. The pictures, again, aren't as good as they should be since there is no sign of the sun today. Boo!
This is a little gift "from" BB to her daddy. It's a bookmark, again used with card stock and the black paper. B&W photo of Dave and BB in the middle. I included little quotes found online. So simple and easy.Tags for Dave's gifts...of which I only have gotten half... The round tags are for some wine glasses I picked up, and the square is for a bottle of wine I have not purchased yet. And with the weather, it looks like that tag won't be adorning a bottle at all. Foiled.
I received some lovely red tulips and essential oils for Valentine's Day from Dave. I love the essential oils (he got me lavender and grapefruit/lemongrass) and all their uses. I read in the little pamphlet that came with them that lavender oils can be applied to wounds for fast healing and can be put in BB's bath to calm her down. The grapefruit/lemongrass is meant to awaken the senses. Pictures to come when we get some sun. I can't stand these dim pictures!!!

So BB and I are hanging out today. Should probably do some laundry. Definitely want to bake before Dave comes home -- maybe scones or banana bread...

How am I going to get that wine?!
