valentine's day

well, folks, it's that time of year again -- Valentine's Day. The one and only Feb. 14. This post, dear readers (all seven of you), is not going to be about the fact that I will not be getting a single Valentine, like Charlie Brown, this year (or chocolate, roses, teddy bears, or love letters for that matter); rather, this post is about what I've done to give my apartment a festive Valentine's day look. So, here goes..

- White vase, purchased for $1 at DI (my favorite store, or at least the one here...loads of great stuff!) over the weekend.
-3 red gerber daisies (my favorite flower) for $2.20 at Robert's Arts & Crafts
-Jar of yummy candy (Sweet's candy....love!). Jar from DI ($0.50).

It's not much, but it still helps, especially since the kitchen is the first thing you see when you walk into our apartment :D I also have a little stitchery that is sitting in the living room, but I didn't take a picture!

Pictured above are the many, many sugar cookies my mom and I made yesterday morning. Well, I made the dough Saturday night, then we cut out each heart (using not even a cookie cutter, but a knife!), put pink frosting on them, and red sprinklers. They were perfect for the break the fast :) And, everyone seemed to enjoy them! They were gone way too fast! :(

There's an update for your inquiring minds, who I'm sure are dying to know how I decorate! Coming up in the next few days....my exciting new purchase. Hint: It's blue, made in the 50s, and dings....? :)
