All That and a Bag of Chips

Remember last year's Valentine's Day?!  I sweet talked Brian into making homemade Valentine's Day cards instead of getting store bought ones?!  (I'm no miracle worker but that was no easy feat, people.)

This is how they turned out:

Our first married Valentine's - 2011!

I also mentioned that we may have to make making homemade Valentine's a tradition. And that we did!  (But not without a bit more convincing!)  This is one of my favorite traditions so far!

Once again, I brought a few crafty things downstairs and we got to work on Valentine's Day Eve!  Our artistic skills took us in different directions but both of our Valentine's mean more to each other than any other one could, and that is all that matters.

Yes, my card says, "You make my heart flutter."
It's Valentine's Day - the more corn, the better!

Brian is a great sport!  (Plus, it is a tad funny to see him fiddle with red, pink and white colored paper and hearts and ribbons galore all while watching a basketball game, of course!)  He made my valentine's day very special with a lovely bouquet of flowers and some sweets from the bakery...oh, and dinner out AND a date to the movies.  I am one lucky girl, and I can definitely say that he is all that and a bag of chips!

All that!

(Side note: Speaking of chips, am I the only one that still puts chips on her sandwhich at lunch time?!  It was brought to my attention today that this so called chip maneuver is not a common thing.  That chip crunch is vital to enjoying my sammie.  And even if is isn't the most "adult" approach, I will still continue to live out the eight year old inside of me by doing it!  So there.)
