Valentine's Day

Well, as per usual, hubby spoiled me rotten (& will still be) for Valentine's Day.  J

He got me a beautiful card; my fav. chocolates: Purdy's Hedgehogs; and this gorgeous floral bouquet:-

He's making a scrumptious dinner tonite:-  beef tenderloin steak w/ mushrooms sauteed in red wine; mashed potatoes, broccoli and wild mushroom gravy.  Yummy!  And, for dessert, a chocolate ganache cake.

Nicer than any restaurant, I'd say!!   Soooo, see where the "spoiled rotten" comes in?!! J 

Hubby’s Valentine Card

Firstly, yes there are male ladybugs; hence, this cute li’l “love bug” valentine for my hubby!  He’s my “love bug” of 35 yrs.  J

Created a shape card by putting two hearts together and attaching at the top.  Easy peasy!!  This was a fun card to put together, because of the fun shapes.
