Valentine's dinner

After we put our son to bed my husband and I enjoyed a romantic evening! We have a fun tradition for our Valentine's dinner...CRAB!!!
We enjoyed cheddar biscuits, Cobb salad, lemony love potion, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and of course king crab legs!

If you are interested in any of the recipes just leave me a message and I will post them!

Paper heart chains

Valentine's Day boxes

I wanted to make some Valentine's boxes for my family to exchange Valentines (and love notes). My son colored his and I made two for my husband and I. I think they turned out pretty cute and it was really cheap.

Fun little "you have mail" tabs!

We hang our Valentine's on the wall...to help decorate.

Wheel of affection tutorial

Today we will be making a wheel of affection. This is a fun alternative or addition to a Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthday, Valentine's Day, etc. card.

You will need:

two 12*12 paper

a round plate

magazine

scissors

glue

a colorful brad

pen

Cut out word/phrases in your magazine that describe the person you will be making the wheel for.

Onto your two pieces of paper trace your plate.

Cut them out. Cut the top one smaller than the top for an accent.

Put your brad in middle. Cut out a hole big enough for your largest magazine phrase/word.

I glued my words on while my wheel was together...that way the words were lined up with the hole all the way around the circle.

Here is what the wheel looks like without the top.

For a more personalized touch add some words on top of your wheel.
