Valentine's Day...It's a Wrap!


It's a wrap!  Valentine's Day 2011 has made it's mark and the sugar will linger on for a least a couple more days!  I hope you celebrated the loves in your life yesterday.  I contributed my own variety of sweet treats to the day with the frosted sugar cookies above :)  Next up, a card by request...

I created this simple and graphic card with heart punched, foam tape, cardstock I straight-line embossed, a bit of ribbon and some sweet sentiments from Stampin Up!

Keeping it clean and graphic for the men folk in our lives...don't know about yours, but the guys I know don't always appreciate doilies, glitter and scrunched seam binding! ;)
The guys I know like a clean uncluttered message ....I think the above says it all.  No more needed then to tell your sweetheart that they mean everything to you!

Next stop, a downtown stroll in the rain to a favorite local bakery...

Downtown Petaluma's very own Bovine Bakery!  Couldn't you fancy yourself sitting for a spell on this sweet street?  My kiddos had yesterday off of school, so while my eldest enjoyed a high tea with friends around the corner at Jacqueline's High Tea, my littlest and I hung out with my mom and the sweet gals at the Bovine for a while.

There might have even been a baking lesson to be had....
mmmmmm...a custom sugar cookie for Shelby!

We took home some of our favorite morning buns too!

Aren't these valentines just the cutest....even when they are a little hopped up on sugar, hot chocolate and perhaps a few stolen sips of mom's coffee (shelby!)....

have a goodie today!

Dana I had no idea you lived in Petaluma. Bovine is one of my favorite stops whenever I'm in that area of CA! YUMMY!
I love your simple, crisp card for your man. That sentiment does indeed say it all.
