Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

I hope you are all getting in some quality time with your sweethearts today :)

I was a super sneaky wife yesterday and surprised Matt with a really nice date - at home. We were originally planning to go out but I have been over-doing it a bit on my foot lately and felt really tired, so I decided to do something fun at home instead. I told him I got restaurant reservations so he totally didn't expect it.

For supper we had good steaks, roasted veggies, baked potatoes, coleslaw, and yummy trifle for dessert. I hung little paper hearts from the cieling fan (had to stand on a chair to do this, I think it got me extra brownie points lol), put a red cloth on the table, some red candles, and got some cute glittery heart decorations from the dollar store. And then we ate in the dark, because I am nerdy like that and wanted to feel like I was in a restaurant. Matt was slightly annoyed by that part but I didn't care :P We listened to 80's sattelite radio while we ate and tried to guess the songs/artists. I mostly failed - but for some unknown reason I guessed "echo beach" after hearing only a few lines.

Then we watched Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. All in all, this valentine's day has been the best ever so far and we still have a baby sitter until tomorrow! I think there may be Mario Party/Rockband times in store...

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Just for fun... here's a video of the song I currently can't stop singing, I think it is appropriate for valentine's day. I can't help it.. I love Lady Gaga. The part where she is in bed with pink heels is just too adorable!

It's Wednesday - finally!

Ohhh I have *so* been looking forward to today. Today I get a new cast! Because of the swelling in my ankle, this one has become really loose and incredibly uncomfortable. I ran out of pain medication on Monday, so the last few days have been pretty crappy for me.

I took this picture yesterday that I am really proud of:



I tried a new spot and a new background - I like it! I love how the details show up... these hearts are available in my etsy shop if you're curious :)

Last Day to Order for Valentine's Day Delivery



Because I live in Canada, I have made today the cut off for Valentine's Day Delivery - this gives items three weeks to arrive. I still have lots of Valentine's merchandise in shop so get it while you can!! As a special for blog readers I will take 10% off your order if you use the code: ValentineBlog.

The clearance is still running and select items are 10-30% off!

PS: I made a "love"ly valentine's day themed treasury last night - it could use some love.

It seems I'm on a roll...

MORE new items! Yeah, I stayed up until 2am last night making things.. I feel like I am just wired lately. I can't get my brain to shut off.. but at least I am accomplishing things! On a very happy note - yesterday was my best day for sales since I opened the shop! I am so excited that my new items are being well recieved :) I am starting to put a little bit more hope into my dream of being able to stay home after my maternity leave runs out by selling my crafts.






Also, the *very* lovely Holiday Jenny posted a picture of one of my gingerbread man ornaments hanging on her tree - please go check it out! And have a look at the rest of the pics of her tree.. it is amazing! (of course it is, it's Jenny!!).

Augh! Again, just popping in! One of these days I need to sit down and write a really good, not rushed because I'm doing a million things at once post. I miss the days when I used to share more than just my new creations, but things have been so busy for me! I am working on getting ready to sell at the local flea market. I'm showing off some new items today:






These are all available now in the shop - and can be seen in <more detail on my flickr photostream..

PS: Did you guys know I'm on twitter? I post a lot through the day... I would love to follow some of my readers! Here is my profile.
