Valentine's Day 2013

Valentine's Day 2013

I made a number of things for Valentine's Day this year including cards.... but gave them away without taking pictures!  Hmmm.  This is the last one in the house...I challenged myself to use nothing but StampinUp! paper, ink, and stamps.

The Shower

The storm forced us to postpone the shower one week... from my view it means that I have a chance to post everything together (I am a just in time crafter... which means I would usually have worked to the last minute on getting everything ready. No time to create a post on the creations.)

So here are images of the invitations....

Then I dithered about the favors.  What to make - what to make?  Margaret prefers gender neutral but the original date was the Saturday before Valentine's Day.

I thought - who wouldn't want a heart shaped box of chocolates, right?  But then, they seemed to be turning out to more gender specific (oops, unintended crafting).

More dithering! What if people don't want chocolate (I know, I know.  That seems unbelievable, but there are some people out there who avoid chocolate!).  Shabby chic clothes pin photo holders?  

Hmmm, probably need to have something to record who is there.




Would it make sense to have a mini album for people to write notes of encouragement?

And, oh yeah.  Decorations.  Pin Wheels in the Cupcakes...

And then, the thank you notes.  Good grief!  Too many things.

Can you tell that I am overly jittery waiting for this first grandchild.

Oh my goodness. So silly.
