Happy Heart Day!

I heart you all!

I hope you have a sweet Valentine's Day!

Boyfriend and I are going to make dinner together tonight and we brought a Groupon for a couples massage- as cheesy as that is. I'm excited about it!! :)

P.S. I want a kitty. I miss having a cat to cuddle with so cats are on the brain! When I was looking at an appropriate picture for today's post this one just jumped out at me.  :)

Happy Galentine's Day!

Hi!!

Happy Galentine's Day Sparklers!

Don't know what Galentine's day is? Well I learned about it from Leslie Knope, yessss from Parks and Rec, and it is all about showing your appreciation and love for the special girls in your life. And guess what? You gals are super special to me. I am loving sharing fun things with you and reading your comments. Every time I get an email about a comment I get soooo excited. I love learning about each of you and exploring your blogs too! So fun! :)

Just wanted to share some special thoughts today on Galentine's Day 2012.

True statement. 

We are all precious for all of the little reasons that make us who we are. 

It doesn't hurt to think about that every once in a while and appreciate that.

I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with warm fuzzy thoughts! :)

Just a Note

Do you guys like stationary? I happen to love writing notes and especially on beautiful stationary. I actually made my own stationary for my valentines this year and it made me so happy. The entire time I was working on them I just kept thinking "This is nice. This is what Valentine's Day is all about. Expressing your love and gratefulness for the people in your life is so important. This is nice."

By the way gratefulness is a real word I just double checked. And there seems to be a whole moment dedicated to it. Must check that out...) 

Well I was checking out LaLaLovelyThings.com today and she is hosting a Minted Giveaway! Minted has beautiful holiday cards, stationary, journals, and invitations and if you want to venture on over to her site today you can enter to win $100 worth!

I know I probably shouldn't be sharing the news because it dilutes my chances to win but I'm just not that kind of gal! I want my Sparklers to have the opportunity too! And if you win maybe you will send me a handwritten thank you on your beautiful new stationary!

Here are some of my Minted favorites~

Let me know if you enter! Which ones are your favorite?!

Happy February!!!

Welcome to February! 

I love February. I love that it means we are into the new year, that it is a short month, and that it contains VALENTINE's DAY! 

I love this darn holiday! I know a lot of people don't believe because it is a "made up holiday" but I don't care. I love any excuse to send love notes to my friends and family. And generally spread some hearts and pink and glitter filled love around.

This year I am also participating in the Find Some Love Fest Link Party which should be really fun to see what other fellow bloggers are doing to celebrate one of my favorite holidays.

And since it is Pinterest Wednesday I thought I would share some of my favorite Valentine's themed pins!

I want to do this for the Boyfriend. How neat would it be to wake up to balloons floating above you with fun love notes tied to the end? The original pin suggested having the same number of balloons as years together which would be a neat tradition to start...

 I am going to do this. I want to paper clip my work papers together with hearts!! Who wouldn't love receiving a very important work memo (ha!!) from me with a heart paper clip?!

 I am going to make this and wear it allllll year long. Yes. Why yes I am.

 Ok not my valentines but how cute are these?! Plus chocolate! And you could even have an impromptu photo shoot with your new brunette mustache before consumption. I pretty much think that that is a must.

 My next nail polish look except I am going to use this vibrant raspberry pink fine glitter that I bought hoping to find a use for when making my valentines. No real Valentine's use so I will have to get creative with my nails! Woo. I love glitter and nail polish. Two of my favorite things! What? You didn't know I love glitter you say? Well I do. True story.

 This might be a fun Valentine's gift for Boyfriend. A week of love notes with little IOUs attached. After dinner Cold Stone date, back rub, night free of doing the dishes- you know romantic stuff. (ha!) Plus candy. Boyfriend LOVVVESS candy.
