Happy Katie!

Valentine's Day has always been a favorite holiday in our family since my mama's birthday is February 14th!  Growing up, Valentine's Day was a big deal, and I think that's why I like it so much now.
Last week, I went on an all-out Valentine's crafting spree.  Pinterest was inspiring me left and right with Valentine's crafts, and I couldn't choose, so I made them all.  Brent was out of town three nights this week on interviews.  Armed with a glue gun, a glass of wine, and a full DVR, I got to crafting.

Candle Holders:  mason jars, doilies, felt, & yarn

Heart Tree: white vase, branches, & heart ornaments (from Michaels)
{i saw these ornaments and got the idea of a rustic Valentines tree centerpiece}
Just in case you need more inspiration to decorate for Valentines Day, here's a conversation that happened at our house last night:

B:  Oh, by the way... I made reservations at ____ (fave restaurant) for Valentine's Day!
K:  What?  Seriously?!  Like you already called and made a reservation?
B:  Yep.
K:  That was so incredibly sweet of you. Thank you!  Wow.  You are like the best husband ever.
B:  I know.
K:  Did the Valentine's decorations make you think of it?
B:  Yeah, I guess they kinda did.  I was like, "Oh, I guess she wants to celebrate Valentine's this year!"

:-)  Love him.

Happy early birthday, Mom!  I think of you when I look at all my new Valentine's decor!

WOW! I was showing Daniel ALLLLLL of your decorations. You are amazing! And when I read the bottom convo, I said "did you read this?" he said... "Uh yeah! Pretty sure he got the hint!" Hilarious. You're so impressive and awesome. Love it all. :)
