Love is in the Air

A lovely print to frame for decorations

What to give those you Love

     The great romantic holiday, Valentine’s Day is upon us again and I am still trying to come up with the perfect gift for my dh and three children and granddaughter.  I have bought  some items but none that seem to adequately convey how much they are to my world.

I hate shopping in the stores for stuff because that never seems to have enough sentiment to it.  I am making two things for my hubby.  One is this really cute pillowcase  that I found on Tip Junkie’s blog, but was originally designed by Creature Comforts.  The downloaded image is all ready to be printed on iron on transfer paper, then I just need  to buy two pillowcases, I already have transfer paper so I load the transfer paper into my printer, print it on the paper side, apply the transfer to the pre-washed pillowcases , and Voila!  This was from the movie, “Jerry Maguire”, in case it seemed familiar from you but you forgot the movie title.  The completed project  looks like this:

 Then I found this beautiful quote that I turned into a print that I have printed and have framed.  After you have been married 26 years it is the words that don't get said anymore that are the most important to say. 

I thought I would share what I think are some of the best movies about "Love" that are out there.  I know I didn't include Love Story because it is just too darn sad for Valentine's Day, or the Vow because I thought it was tragic what those two had to go through.  I am sure there are more out there that would be wonderful to watch with your sweetie.  Send me your top ten or twenty list, I would love to see it.  Here's hoping your Valentine's Day is filled with Amore.
