Valentine's Day

Yup, its that time of year again. The time of year that you can't go to the store with out stumbling upon something pink, heart shaped and covered in chocolate or something of an unhealthy sweet nature. So it comes, most of the time unwanted. That dreadful pretend holiday, Valentine's Day. The idea is a good one I suppose. A day dedicated to love, doesn't sound half bad. If only it was matched up with reality. The reality that you really don't want  to spend money on that some one special, but feel obligated too. Because why you say? Some one along time ago said you should. So why not just ignore it? Don't do that my friend, people will be upset. Then you will be upset. Then the heaviness of this so called holiday sets in. Do not fear. Go cut out hearts, get some glitter and bake something overly sweet. You'll thank me later. Hopefully you will survive the weight of it ALL. Besides its only one day out of the year so why not whip out some glitter. 

Every year me and Gold Canary whip out the glitter and tunes and make mix CD.  This years mix is called Love is Strange. Because as it might be fairly obvious, love can become quite strange. Plus everyone loves a good mix CD. Especially when it involves love songs (or NOT love songs) This year we used THESE library cards for the playlist and THOSE bags with a little bit of spray paint and SOME little heart stickers.

On top of it all Gold Canary created some lovely cards. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
