Three Things + 1 : Lots of Love (and giveaways)

Valentine's Day is simple, but sweet. Lots of red food in my son's lunch, complete with a heart shaped sandwhich. A love note for my husband (always with a small bit of chocolate) and a special dinner as a family.

Valentines is usually quiet for us. We always stay in, and hubby usually cooks for a change.

I love Valentines Day. My husband and I go out to eat and to a movie. I also make it a point to send out Valentines to good friends and family!

We celebrate Valentine's Day as a family. We either go out for dinner or I fix something special. We buy and make valentines for each other.

Normal Valentine's Day for me is something handmade for my daughter (she's 19 now, but still enjoys mom's handmade stuff), preceeded by days of making cards to sell at work. So I'm definitely in the mood for VDay. I love the red, pink, white and black colors, very energizing! I will be on a scrapbooking cruise this year, so will have to do my daughter's card beforehand.

This year I plan on making brownie pops (bakerella!) and delivering to people and places you normally take holiday (xmas) treats to. I love doing that at velntine's day because's it's unexpected and fun!

we don't do much, we just exchange cards. but i would like to do something new and now i can get a good idea.

That picture is just amazing. We don't really have a ritual for Valentine's, but a meal for the two of us would always be a bonus. I do make a card of course!

I'd only ever bought cards for my partner until last year when I made your wonderful felt Valentines card. Now its going to be my tradition to create this every year for one special person. This year its going to be my best friend who is 44, single and childless. She needs a little love.

Oh I miss the days of a sack or a box decorated by little hands and stuffed full of valentines and sweets...my sweet hearts are 21, 15 and 13 so an itunes card and a special supper and they are happy. Love these days of little hands to hold they fly by too quickly, I will spend some time this heart day looking back at scrapbooks and remembering. I am so excited to hear the news of pink taking over your home and heart! Thank you dear Ali for sharing!

I found out from my husband when I got married that it's just not Valentine's day if there's not heart-shaped sugar cookies with pink frosting! So that's what I make for Valentines' day :-)

Every year we have a Valentine breakfast with special heart shaped dishes, pink drinks, heart-shaped pancakes, hand-made valentines at each place & lots of sweet treats!

Handmade Valentine's has become the latest tradition in our home, along with sugar coated heart shaped candies that my daughter loves.

I'm part of a family of 6, and a few days before, we draw names, and on Valentines day we give that person a little something, flowers, candy small gift etc... and do special little things for them to show how much we love and appreciate them. We always leave hearts everywhere with notes written on, and we finish the day with a candle lit dinner and a special meal and dessert. We always dress up for the day and tr to wear pink or red. It's one of our favorite days! I'm enjoying reading everyone's ideas so much!!

We try to keep Valentines pretty simple. My kids and I love to make little mini cards to give away to friends (not so hard when they are mass produced). We always make sure to bake our favorite yummy low fat brownies to share with family and friends. And of course, I let my kids and hubby know how much I love them.

When my kids lived at home I use to do little "treat bags" up for them... my hubby and I always go to a special restaurant for Valentines Day... although we usually go before or after Valentines Day because on the day is just too nuts! LOL

Arrrrgh! Typepad ate my comment. Well, what I was saying was that this year we'll be starting a new tradition. I think...making fesitve pink, red and white cupcakes.

I typically handmake a card for my hubby and buy a cute little Valentines stuffed animal for my daughter. However, she has really outgrown the stuffed animal thing so I'm going to have to come up with something really creative this year.

I will be doing heart shaped food and a red/pink smoothie with whipped cream and heart sprinkles on top!
Great give aways!

I am single (boo Hoo) and For Valentines Day me and 4 other girlfriends that do not have dates are getting all dressed up and going to a beautiful restaraunt. We decided to make a Valentine gift for each other and wrap pretty and make a cute card! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Grace
