Valentine's Day Mug Swap

Happy Valentine's Day Friends! One of my favorite days of the year. Everyone's expressing their love for one another. Everything seems to be pink and sparkly and everywhere you turn there's chocolate!    Have you heard about the Valentine's Day Swap or #VDAYMUGSWAP everyone has been hash tagging? Alissa from Rags to Stitches and Caroline from Sew Caroline but together this awesome idea! Everyone who entered was blindly pared up with someone else. No rules, just make someones Valentine's Day extra special.    I was partnered with Skye from Neathering Our Fest. She is such a doll. I was SUPER excited when the box arrived! She had it cutely wrapped in pink tissue paper and popping bubbles. It was filled with all my favorites... Sweetish fish, licorice, a cute little journal and this ADORABLE mug! I don't know how she knew I was a little country at heart, the rooster had me cracking up!

This was a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to know you Skye! Can't wait to do it again next year.

Valentine Ideas!

 I heart Valentine's Day. {Sorry I just couldn't resist.}

This year I promised myself to make Valentine's Day creative.  Here are a few ideas I ran across this week...   1. Canvas button heart. You could have fun and personalize it.   2. Mason Jar. Red Hearts. Twine. Simple yet super cute. I thought of filling this with tiny strips of paper, each saying a reason you love that person.  
3. Scrabble Pillows. Obviously it doesn't have to save LOVE. Maybe its a special word the two of you share or a nick name and the numbers are a date?   4. Marshmallow Heart. Yes this is a super cute idea but the more meaningful idea would be to have an outdoor hot-coco picnic together. Maybe where you first met?   5. Cork Stamp. Could be a heart, a monogram or something that means something special to the two of you. It also could be the cork from wine bottle that holds a meaningful memory.   6. Milk Heart Cubes. I just thought these were super cute. They could go in  glass of milk or bowl of cereal and as they melt, the milk turns pink.   7. Love Album. Each page contains a letter from the alphabet and warm words pertaining to that letter.   8. Root Beer Float Kit. Adorable right? I can just image surprising your  special someone at work for a lunch date and bring this along.   9. Mobile. I'm loving how this is hanging from a ladder but obviously you could  use anything. Then add the XOXO cutouts and old photos of the two of you.   10. Love Map. Where you got engaged, where you married and where you live now.   Are you font crazy like I am?  Check out my previous post of my top 12 FREE Valentine fonts HERE.   Love Never Fails.
