Valentines

I know this year I'm once again not going to have a date, but that doesn't stop me from making Valentines!
Every year you see the kids BUYING thier valentines from the mall, penny shop or if they're lucky thier moms will pick them up for them. (I occasionally bought them as well, but only if I didn't have the time to make them.)
Now for today I have a few different options for you people at home to try, that are quite easy (easy as folding a piece a paper in half, writing Happy V-Day on it and signing the middle with a huge <3) but at the end I have one of my favorite ways. I did this last year and one of my recipiants still has it on her fridge (makes me feel that much more special!)


1. To MAKE a Valentines

You need:

• Markers/Crayons/Colored Pencils (anything you can color or write with really)
• Colored paper or white paper
• Glue
• Glitter (optional)
• Ribbon
• Lace
• Bit of scraps of anything if you want to be creative

Cut the paper into a semi <3, careful about the edges. Write on the INSIDE first so you don't mess up anything on the outside. [[Important!!!]]
Glue on anything you want on to the front, uncooked macaroni, a bit of your hair for your sweetheart (more on that later) glitter, jimmies, whatever!
*If you'd like your sweet baboo to hang it up, put a bit of ribbon on the back with a small loop. That way he or she can hang it up on thier door, above thier bed or in thier locker.
**If you don't like the person, you could always glue the whole thing shut, write on the back (Haha, got you first this year!) But it would still be nice because after all, you did make them a valentine.
Do anything you want to your creation! After all, it is coming from YOU!

2. To BUY the right Valentine

You Need:

• Moolah (aka Money)
• The right person/group in mind

You could spend fifteen hours looking for the right Valentine for that one special someone, or you could make it, which makes it that much more special. If that is the case, refer to the first option.
You have to consider who you are buying for. If it is for your wife, or girlfriend, I'm 90 percent sure that she likes animals, flowers or anything that is sweet. So, dive for those ones first. Anything with an animal, flower or something adorable on the first cover. Pick FIVE off the bat that you see, WITHOUT opening them.  Out of the five, take them somewhere else in the store and READ them. Only you can pick out the right words in the card (if you didn't write them yourself in  your own card).  Out of the five, pick three, then pick two then keep the last one to give to your girl. If you like the other four thats great! Buy them too and give them off to your other friends.
Now for your husbands & boyfriends: Do the same thing but look for something not so cutsey. Think SIMPLE.  Flowers are okay, but look for the machoiest card you can find. One with tools, babes or something really simple,  like glitter and a heart. Pick five, pick three, pick two then pick one. You can still buy all five and give them to your other friends, chances are there is someone else who likes simple little cards like that. Men like Simple, and yet they date us... we are so complicated!

3. MY ALL TIME FAVORTIE VALENTINE

Alright so you've run out of regular ideas, but you want to give them something special, am I right? You've gone with the roses, the balloons, the dinners the wine and everything else you can do to woo the pretty (or handsome) person.
How about a valentine that they can't throw out? No, no I"m not talking about tattoos. [We know we've seen enough of those already] But how about a magnatized valentine?

You need all the same things from number one, but this time grab an old magnet. Usually the bigger the better. Make a smaller valentine, one sided, and glue it onto the magnet, magnettty side down. When your sweet baboo isn't looking (and the valentine is dry) stick it to the fridge. I did that a few times last year and one is still standing! I had a magnetic ruler, an old ad and a reminder from school to use as my magnets. And guess what! No one knows what you use! So use anything you want!!

Well thats that for this year. If you're like me with no date, I'd go with the valentines then stick it out with your friends. We're throwing an Anti-Valentines Day party. But I'm still handing out Valentines...
