Love and Kisses

Valentines Day is one of my favorites.
Well, it hasn't always been, but now it is.
I wanted to share with you one of the things I did for Brad this year. 

I love handmade gifts.
Some don't.. 
But, I do. 
So, every year I plan on making something for Brad. 

Last year I sewed him a cute fabric notebook page
and embroidered a sweet little love note on it.
Then stuffed it into an old vintage bottle with some sand.

This is what I did this year.
Last night, I hid these hearts everywhere.
Today, I will give him an empty jar that says "How much I love you"
And tell him to keep an eye out..
(I purposefully hid a few where he would find before he got the jar.. to confuse him)

The joke is, he will never be able to find all of these.
They will keep appearing even in a year or so.
And I'll keep making some and hiding them.

I thought myself a very clever girl.

But little did I know, he had a surprise of his own.
I'm a pretty lucky girl.

I also took the opportunity to paint my nails for the holiday.
I didn't realize I painted the hearts with crackle paint...
So, I've got broken hearts on my fingers.
And of course, you can't have a Valentines Day without kisses.

Happy Valentines Day and lots of kisses from me.
