5 Reasons To Decorate For Valentine's Day

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.

  12. I'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! ;)
