Three Things + 1 : Lots of Love (and giveaways)
Tags:
This week we are taking a peek at a couple Valentine/Love related products. Look for another round of three next week - there are just too many cool things out there for creating projects that celebrate those you love.
• Thinking a little tiny bit about Valentine projects (must be all the pink). Planning to use my new "Loving Stamps" from Technique Tuesday on something Valentine related. You can also pick up a similar digital version called "Loving Life Word Art." You can download the new Technique Tuesday 2009 Winter Supplement (pdf)
to see the entire line of stamps (or go here).
• Speaking of Valentine's, one of my favorite product lines from CHA last summer
(the big Craft & Hobby show) was from Little Yellow Bicycle called "Love Letters." I love the cardstock stickers (shown above),
• This wonderful print that is going to hang somewhere in my house (maybe in the baby's room or a bathroom) from isophotography (found via poppytalk handmade). It would make a great gift for a loved one.
• And one more lovey thing I couldn't resist this week: little love notes tickets from Making Memories.

wow, that is A LOT of stuff!
It's not very recent, but I always made my dad a card. Usually out of construction paper with glue and glitter and pictures of my brother and I. I always put the same corny little poem inside for my dad. Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, You love me, and I love you too. I know.....lol Not very original, but dad liked it...lol

We don't have a specific thing that we do every Valentine's Day. I just do something special for my husband and kids to remind them that they are loved.

What great giveaways!
We don't do anything special. I just try to be home that night from work and cook a real meal. Spend some time together.

My husband and I always go out to dinner. I make homemade valentines and goodies and give them to my friends and family.

We got tired of fighting the V-day restaurant crowds and wanted to be home to celebrate with our kids. Now I make fondue for dinner and we eat the entire meal in little peices dipped in cheese. I make hubby a candy bar poster to go with his gift and the kids make valentines for each other. A fun day I look forward too!

Valentine's Day is all about celebrating the most important men in my life, my three son's:) Gotta love that phrase, it always makes me giggle:) I get them a card and candy, the typical presents, and shower them with love and kisses. Thanks:)

There's a lot of things you can do on Valentine's Day that are fun....,
But in the end I like to just be sure all my kids and husband know how much I love them, how important they are to me and how much it means to have them in my life. Words...thats what counts on the Day to show your love. In the end words are so very important in the word we live in now.

I don't have family of my own so I usually celebrate Valentine's by getting a lovely chocolate bundle for my mom and make some kind of Valentine's craft with chocolate for my niece and nephews...its great to share love in ways broader than the tv commercials lead us to think in

I usually make a special card for my husband & recall a silly story or event in the card. I think he looks forward to it. Either way I enjoy making them for him : )

My husband and I spend the time with our four boys and my parents. We usually prepare the meal for the wonderful celebration of being able to spend time with each other:-)

most of the time we spend valentines day as a family, our anniversary is 10 days later, so V day isn't really huge. I do love a box of moonstruck chocolate though!

My guy and I try to stay away from all the commercialized Valentine's day hype and focus more on just spending time with each other. We usually plan a night in for just the two of us, and we each get each other something small, just a token, to exchange. ^^

Just some quiet family time with small pressies of candy. Taking it easy suits us best!

I always make a special valentine, of course. Last year I made my husband and my son your awesome felt book. I love it. My son (17) thought it was great-how cute is that?
This year I want to make a little canvas for my son with the quote from "Guess How Much I Love You?" (love that book) that says, "I love you to the moon AND back."

My hubby usually brings me red roses. The lavender ones are my favorite and if he can find those that's what he brings home. I usually make a Vday card and find a special gift for him. I pretend that I don't know what he wants but I always listen for hints. Still thinking of a special gift for this year though.
