My husband and I were friends for about three years before we started dating.
I knew that he wanted to take our relationship to the next level when he called me on Valentine's Day in 1982.
I will never forget that call.
I was at home taking apart a quilt.
That Valentine's Day craft was busy work to keep me distracted on what could have been a pity party day because I wasn't with someone.
The quilt was eventually re-made and
we got married a little over a year later.
I've been sprinkling a few Valentine's Day decorations around since my children were little.

Here are 5 good reasons to decorate for Valentine's Day.
#1. The holiday decorations are put away and the house looks a little barren.
#2. It's winter so not much is going on and life is a little boring. Brighten it up with a little decor.

#3. Pink and red are fun pops of color.
#4. Hearts are a sweet and classic motif.
#5. We all need a little more love in our life.
Even if you aren't with a special someone, there are always those in our sphere that need a little encouragement and extra love.
Have a wonderful Monday.

I agree whole-heartedly! I LOVE decorating for Valentine's Day - it's so fun to have that pop of color and happiness in the midst of dreary, old winter!
ReplyDeleteI've never decorated for V-day. Probably because my kids don't care but now that they are gone... I think I'd like it! Your decorations are precious. I love each one. Guess now I need to check out what I have around the house and maybe might HAVE to go to Hobby Lobby! ;)
