May your February be extra feminine and full of flowers and well designed valentines!
And if it isn't full of any of those things, I hope it's full of pink at least.

T is for Tulip
I ended up getting flowers after all! And oh my, they are ever little pretties! 
A month or so ago, we watched a Globe Trekkers (yes, I love those) on the Netherlands. Of course, it was filled with tulips. I hadn't had fresh flowers in a very long time, and since then I'd been wanting tulips.
Now I have some. And I adore them. My sweet mother didn't even have to ask to know I wanted tulips.
I've decided that I either need to grow flowers or invest more money in them because I really had forgotten how much I love flowers.
I am so ready spring now.
And more flowers .
And more tulips.

Cupcake Love
Happy Valentines Day Everybody! I hope you all are having a great day and are feeling loved. Dad usually brings Mom and I flowers, but he's out of town this year. My Valentines present came home with Dad on Saturday,
Raspberry and Salty Carmel cupcakes! I've been savoring them over the weekend and very impressed with my self for leaving some for Valentines day. Nothing is like a Sprinkles cupcake. Have I mentioned that before? This is my last 14 things I love post. I've rather enjoyed it. What are some things you love?Happy Hearts Day! XOXO
What I would wear: Valentines day
I'm not wearing anything uber exciting today. Just a dress, tights and my old standby: a cardigan. I'm not into going over the top for valentines day. But, I'm sure I would go over the top if I had enough money to buy any of these things...
What are you wearing this valentines day?

Last Minute Valentines
When I say Last Minute, I mean it. Today, I decided to stop procrastinating for and get my AHG Valentines done. Unfortunately, I was lacking any idea's. I just started going and working, re-doing and testing. Finally I got what I wanted.
Yes, they are simple. Yes, my hand looks awkward. But seriously, aren't they a tad cute. Here's what I did: 1. )Used card stock and stamped all over then with a heart and pink ink. 2.) Printed happy valentines day on the paper, I got six per sheet. 3.) Cut out all (these are super original valentines, no 2 are alike. I didn't cut any of them evenly. That's what I like about them, they are all unique and different.) 4.) Spray painted the edges and back a metallic gold.
Painting the edges really helps this. I was not super careful about it getting on a little of the card, so some gold is on the front. It looks vintage and I like it. (the back is like the envelope flap, which you'll see in just a sec.)
I was not planning on doing envelopes, but by the time I finished all my valentines, I was in love with the metallic spray paint and so I decided to try a few envelopes.
First, I used the heart bookmark shape to paint the hearts across it. Then I decided to spray the flap too.
And those are my valentines. I rather like how they turned out. Really simple, but sweet. What are your valentines like?

Heart Bookmark
Like I said, I've been busy making my room all lovely for Valentines day. I was cutting out hearts, and it was then that I realized I could use the scraps to make something cute. I decided on a bookmark. Not very original, but they are fairly practical.
This is so simple! You also get 5 hearts per bookmark, so you can use those for another project.
You'll need: Scissors, book pages (I am using a page from an old cookbook.) Patterned paper (for the back.) and a pen.
First, cut out a heart the size you want your other hearts to be. Then fold it in half. This will be your template. I made a bunch of these bookmarks and used the same template, so let it hang around till you are totally finished.
Next, take your strip of paper, fold it in half and begin to trace the hearts on. Make sure you trace on the fold. Then cut them all out.
The last thing is to glue it on to your pattered paper and cut it out.I told you that was easy, but so cute! I already have on in my big honkin' economics book. Makes it a little sweeter.
I take that back. Nothing can make economics sweet. EVER.
Have fun crafting!
