Happy Valentine's Day

I have always loved Valentine's Day and telling my family I love them. I have been so inspired the last few weeks by the beautiful handmade expressions of love that I made my own Valentine cards this year and made a lovey-dovey mini-book telling my amazing husband of my love. Now that the gifts have been exchanged I can share them here.

First...here is the wonderful little gift that Dave gave me:

Don't you just love Charlie Brown and his eternal optimism? I do. Believing in one another is such a gift and so important in a relationship and Dave gets that. Who ever said men just don't get it? Hallmark has a whole set of these Peanuts characters that might just be my latest new collection.

So now on to my gift to Dave......

Dave has been wanting to read Dave Mustaine's new book and I neglected to give it to him at Christmas so a week ago I snuck out to Books a Million (Oh I love the smell of a bookstore and could get lost for hours in there....) and picked him up a copy. It must be a good book since he has been reading it non-stop since Sunday afternoon and is nearly finished with the book. Then I also spend a few hours this weekend putting together the whimsical book 10 Reasons I Love You. I wish I had more of that Cosmo Black Board because it was very hard to stop at 10 reasons....I really am a lucky gal.

In my next post (maybe tomorrow) I will share some of my favorite pages in the book. In the meantime I want to go watch some of our favorite shows on the History Channel....one of the few things that make Mondays much more bearable. I hope everyone is spending a little time with someone you care about...even if it is just a phone call. Life is good but life is short...tell someone tonight that you love them.
