Fun Ideas for Valentines Day
January 16, 2013 by Aimee • 23 Comments
It’s easy to take our loved ones for granted…to get lost in the monotony of everyday and not look for ways to appreciate them as a special gift! Today I hung out with one of my sisters (I have three – my birth order is no. 2). She showed me some of the paintings she’s working on and some that she’s finished recently….she’s a brilliant artist! We braved the snow and did a little Dallas shopping…my favorite Valentine’s Day finds were at Crate and Barrel….I have got to make these ASAP…white plate and a red sharpie…bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and the design will stay permanently! It really works!!
We had a really healthy lunch at my sister’s favorite restaurant…ever heard of START– Real Food | Real Fast.

Is the plate ceramic or plastic (I’m assuming that’s a dummy question and it’s ceramic but wanted to check).
It’s a porcelain plate Sandra…go for it! XO, Aimee

Thank you so much for featuring my Army Men Valentines! You made my day
Super cute ideas! I haven’t started doing much for Valentine’s Day yet but I am definitely getting inspired by all the awesome projects I am seeing around.
Just love all that stuff! The mason jar craft and the arrows are my favs!
Awesome ideas! My kid would really love the pom monsters.
I love those dishes too! The only problem would be where do I store them after valentines day? :0)
What a great Valentine’s Day round up! I’m loving the mugs and plates! I’m going to have to give them a try. Thanks so much for sharing. I LOVE visiting your site. And thanks for being my newest follower! So exciting!
Lots of wonderful inspiration and eye candy here! Thanks
Thanks for including the Crate & Barrel cups and plates. I got right online and had them sent to my little grandbabes and they can open them when I go visit next month! (I am not a crafter/painter) I LOVE Valentine’s Day and I loved all of the cute inspirations!!
love all the red and white so super cute you are right perfect for valentines
come see what I shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
Are the plates a specific Crate and Barrel thing or will any white plate work?
Love them.
Any white plates will work!!! XO, Aimee
Wow, so many great and fun ideas!
