Being a stay-at-home here at No. 9257 has it's challenges, especially during the holidays. My job these days is to SAVE money, NOT SPEND it. Needless to say, that poses a problem of sorts on special days...like Valentine's Day. So, this year I was determined to be more creative. My hubby is def waaaay more thoughtful and romantic than me, so it's hard for me to out-do his antics. For example...I awoke and walked into our bathroom to discover that he had left me a "check yes or no" Valentine's Day message on my mirror. That certainly didn't cost a thing, but was a fun way to show that he was thinking of me. =)  "Will U B my Valentine? Check Yes or No" Hmmm...how would I top this? The challenge was on!!! I decided that I would list 10 things that I loved most about my hubby and frame it. Admittedly, it was sweet to brainstorm all of the things that I love about him...  *** OOPS! I found a typo...did you find it too? *** Using different fonts was a fun way to make this project a bit more whimsical. :) Then, I printed my list out on scrapbook paper and rummaged through a cabinet that I knew housed an unused picture frame.   The frame needed a little TLC, so I added a bit of paint to cover up the old nicks and left it on the bathroom counter for the hubby to stumble upon.   Now, I am off to eat a bite of cheesecake that was a splurge item to celebrate the day. Death by chocolate...Mmmm! (Photo is borrowed...my cheesecake is half eaten and not nearly as photogenic! LOL)  XOXOXOXO! Dawn |
