Valentines Day 2011 - Part II

After an amazing evening with the mister on Sunday I got to enjoy my February 14th with my girl.
We had some fun with the camera...

and then...
We had pancakes for dinner & Skye got super creative!

They were as tasty as they were cute.
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day with someone you love.

Valentines Day 2011 - Part I

**Warning, this post is picture heavy & super sappy....run while you still can!!

This Valentines Day turned out to be fantastic!!
Due to our crazy schedules, the boy & I celebrated on Sunday the 13th.


He had been hinting around, not so subtly, that he would like a chocolate mousse cake, with chocolate shavings...so I had to make him one!

He seemed pretty stoked about the cake!

We hit the road & went down to Palm Beach

It was gorgeous out...but freezing!!

So he took me to this amazing little park right next to The Flagler Museum.
It had the biggest tree I've ever seen in my life!

It was gorgeous and amazing and oh so romantic!

We drove around looking at all the pretty houses, daydreaming of how nice it would be to live in them...all the while enjoying a GIANT cola flavored slurpee.
There were lots of hugs & kisses.
and then...
The mister gave me the best present ever! He carved our names in a bunch of trees around town & took pics! Seriously, I think this is the best gift ever...so romantic! aaawwww :)
I got a pretty orchid too!

We ended the evening with him cooking us some delicious steaks & enjoying a tasty bottle of wine.
We even got to watch Love Actually all snuggled up on the couch.

He is the most romantic fella I've ever met, and I'm so glad he's my Valentine!

When I returned home that evening, The kid had left me a little surprise...

How sweet is she!??!
It turned out to be a wonderful day and evening!
So much love!!

Part II will be posted later today :)
Cheers!

Feelin' Crafty & Valentinsy

So, It's Valentines Week. I've seen SO many adorable DIY ideas. I want to make them all! I did one myself, it's the first DIY post I've ever made, so bear with me...

My Mister is a HUGE fan of planes & flying.

I'm a HUGE fan of garlands.
I put our HUGE loves together & this is what I came up with!

Paper Airplane Garland

I realized very quickly that I needed some assistance on paper airplane making!

 I found THIS BLOG extremely helpful and used steps 1 - 9 to get the look I wanted. I made a bunch of little planes in my favorite color combo.

The next step was to figure out how to attach them to the ribbon...
I punched holes in the paper with my needle and then sewed a little X thru the ribbon and the paper.

This took way longer than I expected, totally bent my needle and made my fingers sore. But after seeing the final product I think it was totally worth it!

I'm thinkin' this will be the perfect valentines Garland for my handsome pilot! I LOVE it!
