Valentine Lovin'

Abby and I decided to play dress-ups again, because it is, afterall, Valentines Day tomorrow (any excuse!)

I know it's all got a bit commercialised and all now, but I still like to spoil my family with a fancy dinner party, usually heart-shaped pasta, and something involving chocolate for dessert...and I get a kick out of decorating for the occassion...it's something I've always loved doing - I consider it as creating memories for my girls that they will have forever...something to look back upon with magic and wonder...such memories really can get you through some yucky times...

I loved making the paper heart garland, and would like to thank McCabe over at http://dancingmermaid.com/blog/ for the inspiration...I love her little blog - she is such a magical mermaid, and a true inspiration...I also made a couple of Valentines cards to give to my girls.

The little painting I did last week...it feels good to be creating again...

Not sure if there's many of you visiting, but I would like to send you all a big Valentines wish, and hope that you are spoiled tomorrow (and eat lots of chocolate) xxx
