Valentines Ideas

I am not a fan of Valentine's Day.  For me the holiday is too commercialized and forced.  It has ridiculous expectations as well.  Even though I'm not a fan I do make the day special for my daughters.  We do go out to eat.  I pick fun options for that day though.  Chik-fil-a or Peter Piper's are the options this year.  A good thing about these places is they will not be packed like if I chose Samurai Steakhouse or Roadhouse.  Through Pinterest I have found some very cute decor ideas as well as Valentine ideas. 

I made this garland for $3.00 from a pinterest inspiration.  It was that cheap because the hearts were a 3 pack of Christmas decorations that I found 50% off after Christmas (50 cents each pack).  The ribbon was a dollar at Dollar Tree. 

I spent less than $1 each on these Valentine gifts for my girls.  No this is not the ones I made.

Four pack drinks are $1.  I bought a snack size bag of kisses for less than a $1.  Then leftover ribbon, baggies and paper. 

I have yet to do these projects but I have the supplies.  

 Too cute!  All the supplies I already have so it will only cost me time.  I'll post an update picture when we do it. 

I will leave you guys on this note.

I'm at 1001 Pins.

A short explanation

For those that have not experienced it just visit Pinterest.  It is your saved favorites posted to boards.  You can look through what other people have posted and pin their finds to your boards.  I'm on Pinterest almost every day.  To me it is better than Facebook or Twitter.  At least I learn more from the site.  To date I have created 23 boards.  I currently have 502 pins.  That will change soon :)

The point of this blog is to put my Pinning to use.  Well, I already do!  Better stated:  to chronicle my attempts, successes & fun through my finds on Pinterest.  Have fun reading and laughing at me.....or maybe with me.
