valentine's day roundup

I realized that I never shared the "manly" version of these banners, which are a download from my 52Photos partner's Etsy shop. So, you still have time to purchase and download and make some for yourself and all your sweeties!

There's a reason the background is blurry. There's a 19-year old tornado behind that door and Mom gets a little tired of telling him to clean up his piles. Why do they just let it pile instead of going ahead and putting it away? I was never that way. A little bit now, sometimes, but not at 19! Grr.

You may not have time to receive this mini in time for Valentine's Day, but it makes a great Anniversary or Birthday gift idea, too! You can read about it here.

And this mini has been a best-seller this month, imagine that! Guy gifts are always a challenge and I happen to think that even the manliest of men would appreciate 26 reminders of how awesome your life is with him by your side. Here's a post detailing my thoughts about the mini I made for Gordon and a link to the most recent post about listing it in the shop. The baker's twine you see is from The Twinery.

To see other Valentine's Day related posts, you can click on holidays or celebrations in the labels below and that should bring up quite a few for you to review in your "spare" time. Beth Proudfoot has been sharing Valentine's Day printables this week over at write.click.scrapbook. that are oh, so cute. Oh, and here's a super cute idea from one of my Design Team friends over at The Twinery that I wish I had thought of. Isn't it adorable? Yes, it is.

And one last thing, here's a sneak of what I'll be sharing with you bright and early tomorrow. It's a simple craft idea to do with the kids.
