Valentine's Part 1

I don't have a lot of Valentine's decor, but thought I'd share what I do have.

I love these dessert plates. We had some divine berry cobbler on them last night, and they'll be used several times more this week:

I bought a chipboard read-to-finish Valentine's scrapbook, cut out the L, O, V and E, covered them with luscious papers and made them into a banner with coordinating papers and cardstocks. I turned the chipboard pages into hearts, covered them with paper, and hung them from my dining room light.

These little cuties were part of the Valentine's package I won on Monique's blog (thanks again!). I love them both! Her mom made that darling little cupcake pillow:

I filled my little apothecary jar with sparkly red hearts and pink balls. The hearts were actually little ornaments, I probably should cut off the silver threads:

And, again, my Valentine's wreath. I know I already posted about it, but I think it also needed to live with the other V-Day decs. For those of you who asked, I bought them at Target. They had a larger version with just one heart that I wanted, but waited too long and it was gone. So I bought three of the smaller hearts and strung them together.

Brian and I went on our Valentine's date on Friday, as he has to work this Saturday. Are you braving the crowds on Feb. 14? Being a Saturday, I'm sure it's going to be CRAZY! We went to dinner and then saw "He's Just Not That Into You." Overall, I thought it was OK. I liked some of the story lines, didn't like some others. I did love Ginnifer Goodwin, and I want her hair! She was also in "Walk the Line," one of my all-time favorite movies.

The kiddos are going to a Valentine's Day tea party on Friday, followed by Connor's school party. And we'll do something fun on Saturday as a family. More Valentine's stuff to come later in the week.
