Sniffles. Snowfall. & a FREE Download.

My eyes are scratchy. My throat is fiery. My head is fuzzy. In short … I think I am sick. How does that happen? I work from home for cryin’ out loud. And I don’t have kids. And I’m not kissing anyone (What a shame.). And this is so not a good week to be sick–my to-do list is bordering on insanity. Plus I wrenched my back a few days ago and am having trouble making it up and down from the couch. Plus it’s snowing. A lot.

Wow. Aren’t glad you stopped by THIS blog today?

So back to the to-do list. Though long, it’s actually filled with a lot of fun stuff, the best of which is that Frit and I are decking out our house for her younger brother and his girlfriend so they can have a deliciously romantic Valentine’s Day dinner here on Saturday. Yay! Yay! Yay! I LOVE holiday events, parties, special dinners, and the like. (But you already knew that.) I’m so excited about it in fact, I woke up yesterday at 4:30 a.m., my brains spinning with decoration ideas.

So you see…I do not have time to be sick or flat in bed with a messed up back or kept from venturing to the store due to snow. I gots stuff to DO people! But seeing as I am sick, flat in bed with a messed up back, and am still scared to drive in the snow despite having lived here for 13 years give or take a summer here and there, here’s another Valentine’s Day card I whipped up this morning from the comfort of my cozy, warm bed. (I could kiss the inventor of the laptop computer! But I won’t because then he/she might get sick too.)

So back to the Valentine’s Day card … I saw this phrase on a t-shirt once and thought it was sweet and quirky and cute. Speaking of quirky … did you know that someone (the 60-something-year-old male receptionist at my old job) once told me I wasn’t married because I was quirky? Really?

So back to the Valentine’s Day card …

I also made an 8×10 color version if you want to print it, frame it, and add it to your Valentine’s Day decorations.

And then, because I’m in bed and have nothing to do, I was playing around with the exposure of that image above and wound up with this. For some reason I really like this blown out photo with the saturated oranges. Maybe you do too? Anyhow …DOWNLOAD HERE

Finally, in closing (it’s about time), here are a few links to some lovely projects I have bookmarked for future creating.

A Sweet Way to Give Valentine Sweets

Could there be a cuter way to send a note?!

Make your own personalized stationary. I think mine would say, “I like lollipops.” Or. “I hate snow.”

I’m such a sucker for garlands of any kind and this one is darling.
