I really wanted my real post to be about something profound, deep and meaningful but in the spirit of Valentine's Day (yes, I agree, it is advertised way too much and used by retailers to suck money out of us) I still want to be be lovely-dovey and put a heart up here. So I found some red furry thing in my closet and bought a heart shaped wreath so I could put a sweet something on our bedroom door. I am personally not a fan of commercialized holidays, with "supposed to buy gifts" idea, but it's still nice to receive a bouquet of flowers and maybe some chocolates, or chocolate covered strawberries (even better) any day of the year. As most women would agree, we love to be thought of and appreciated but if it only happens once a year on Valentine's Day, it's not that special and knowing that you receiving the same bouquet of flowers as other 10 million women on the same day, doesn't make me feel very appreciated. I love the gifts and thoughts that come out of no where and surprise me, like a sticky note on the bathroom mirror, or a note in the fridge on my lunch box. I am married and have to say that my husband is good at those little things. He will cover me up with a blanket when he sees me on the couch getting cold, or brings me tea when my cup runs empty, cleans my car off snow and makes sure I have something to eat. I don't think the idea of love and romance should start and end on February 14th but it should be in the air all year long, it's a wonderful way to share you love with someone else.
So here is a quick and super easy DIY idea for those of you who want the lovey-dovey without the mushy-ness ;-)
Supplies:
1 Red Feather Garland
1 Heart-Shaped Wreath (white)
Ribbon
1 Thumb Tuck
Glue gun
Wrap the garland around the heart and hot glue the ends. Get a nice ribbon (you can't see it, but mine says "love cherish adore") and tie it around the heart making a small bow. Next take the thumb tuck and push it into the upper ridge of the door so that ribbons will holds the heart. Done!!!
