With Valentine's Day fast approaching I know that I will be spending another year without a Valentine. I do not say this with regret, sadness or loneliness, just as a statement of fact. I bring this up only because I want to do something special for myself. I want a nice homemade gift from one of my favorite people in the world me! And then an even more favorite person in the world can help me, my son of course! So in the true crafty spirit I have found a few DIY ideas that will get the creative juices flowing and allow Liam and I to choose something awesome to create that I can enjoy on Valentine's Day! I decided to write a blog about it because I know that I am not the only woman out there that loves a more personal gift, and what better time to receive than Valentine's. Here are some of the top ideas that I have come up with and will pick one to do a step-by-step blog on in the spirit of Valentine's Day! I would love to see other DIY projects that anyone else has come across and hear about any of your attempts to recreate these ideas! Good luck and I hope that in whatever capacity you spend V-Day in that it is full of happiness and love!
