Well, Love Day has come and gone. But I am declaring here and now, that February is the month to celebrate love in a Big way and celebrate the color red!
(I didn't get all of my valentines done in time for yesterday anyway!)
We did get some lovely valentines and we took some cool gifts to Chelsea's good friend since we'd never managed to give her a Christmas gift.
We made fun heart shapes out of salt dough at her friend's home too.
Last night we babysat for our friends so they could have a romantic dinner! And then Lee came home and after dinner we went to an ice cream social nearby at more friends home.
The menu for the night was all themed after children's books and was very creative!
And my pal gave ME a valentine with a coupon for half a Saturday of free babysitting!
All the children!
Which in my book is pretty awesome.
Lee and I have some good cafe food coming up in gift cert. form and so I think we will celebrate one of these nights when we have more energy!
We had a VERY busy weekend.
What did You do for Love Day??
Liking Red,

Reflecting on being a pilgrim and feeling inspired by this verse from the Bible "..To God's elect,strangers in the world,.....who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood:... from 1 Peter,1:1 Of course this is also a journal of sorts,and so often has mundane jottings as well as deeper thoughts!

| Lee and me-looking forward to Love Day! |
So mostly I am crawling around doing the basics these days. A sinus "thing" has recaptured our house. (O, I do wish we were done with these sicknesses!) But back to "valentiney" thoughts, I pulled myself together enough to make a valentine garland similar to the one linked. Only mine is red and white.
Jess obligingly took down my wintry eucalyptus wreath and I hung my garland where that had hung. And I took down Christmas cards.
And an earthtoned candle. And realized how desperate I am for some bright color this time of year....
I got some nice emails in my inbox.
And a nice "girltalk" phonecall and even a delivery of boxed teas.
Maybe i will get through all this winter funk!
Now I should keep chugging on laundry mountain and the mess of a craft room so I can be free to do more crafty things.
Sweet crafting and thinking to all!
