Valentine’s Day

Trent & I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! We’ve continued a tradition we started last year – going to the gym. Ok, I know, it doesn’t sound overly romantic. 😉 But, for us, it was a wonderful date. The first couple months of the year are very crowded with the “New Year’s Resolution” folks so we tend to avoid the gym on weeknights. Well, I assure you, it’s pretty empty on Valentine’s. And, most importantly, it’s good for our hearts which is a very good thing. 🙂

I received a nice mid-day surprise from my love. A beautiful miniature rose bush. He knows me well. I am not a fan of cut flowers. They die off too quickly. I prefer the money be spent on something that will last longer. This beautiful gift is sitting on a shelf at my desk right beside the African Violets he sent me in 2006. (The picture is from Hallmark.com – mine looks nearly identical, but I didn’t have a camera to snap a shot.)

Here’s the card I made for Trent:

Supplies: Die Cuts with a View card; Making Memories Defined sticker & brad; K&Co tag; Prima flower.

And the mini album I gave him:

Supplies: My Mind’s Eye, Basic Grey, Scenic Route, & s.e.i. patterned papers; Archiver’s brown cardstock; Die Cuts with a View adhesive backed cardstock; Making Memories sweet, brad, & {note}worthy papers; QuicKutz metro font & heart die; Two Peas Silly font; American Crafts ribbon; Studio G stamp.
