Don't Call The Police!

Some of you are emailing me making sure I haven't fallen off the planet. You sure know how to make a girl feel loved! I've had my nose stuck in books the last few weeks...National Government and World Religion to be exact. Talk about interesting!

Anyway, I want to wish you all a Happy Valentines Day. My hubby is out of town...sadly. But I'll be spending it with my favorite Aunt. She should arrive anytime now. I have goodies set out...

Here's a tip...buy flowers a few days before Valentines. They're 3 times cheaper.

My kitchen smells wonderful with these roses.

I also want to thank Pajamamama and Kitty Scraps for this award! Thank you ladies for thinking of me!



I'm checking your blogs daily and keeping up with the blogging world. It's a nice break from homework.

Valentine Project & Decorations...

Thank you all that left supportive comments on starting school last week. Sadly, I was lost the minute I walked onto campus. Even though I had a map and highlighted exactly where my classes were located.

Anyway, I learned two things last week.

1) Never answer "yes" on a questionnaire that asks you if you know what caused the mortgage crisis...without being capable of explaining it in front of the WHOLE flippin' class.

2) I need to exercise. Holy cow my arms hurt from carrying two books....that's really bad! And I had to walk two miles from my car to the school. I was out of breath...which caused me to become disoriented and get lost. (I can come up with the best excuses for stupidity!)

Moving on....

Recently I was visiting Jenni at A Nest to Keep and found this fun Valentine project. She purchased little mailboxes for each of her kids. From now until Valentine's Day they will each get a little treat and/or card. Oh, I just love this idea!

So, I found these mailboxes at Walmart for $4.00 each. They came with valentine stickers & stencils.

I had the kids get to work decorating...

And viola, they are ready for Valentine mail...

I bought little gifts for under $1.00 to give them inside their mailbox...

Now, for my Valentine Decorations...

I really didn't have any Valentine decorations until last Tuesday. I was shopping at the local grocery store and found these cute little bears...oh, I'm in love!

I wondered if there could possibly be a boy bear that matched. I dug down to the bottom of the basket and found him...

So, here is my Valentine display. Yep, that's it. That's all folks.


I know what you're thinking...I need more Valentine decorations. I'll get right on that. ;-)
