All week I've struggled to come up with a blog entry for Valentine's.  Nothing.  For Flashback Friday. Nothing.  For Sew Crafty.  Nothing.  Yesterday I went to Kellie Ann's blog and read this...

Isn't that first picture a hoot?  LOL That gave me the inspiration I needed for today's Valentine Flashback Friday! Woo hoo!  

Disclaimer:  It's not as funny as Kellie Ann's.  I am never as funny as Kellie Ann!  She's in a league of her own!  LOL  But it gave me an idea for a blog entry!  ;)  Also, I do not have a scanner.  Therefore, I took a digital photo of these pictures.  The actual pictures are quite sharp.  But they came out a bit blurry. 

Once upon a time, in 1995, we lived in base housing in North Texas.  We had an almost 2yod.  She was sweet, quiet, and made life easy.  She took 3-4 hour afternoon naps.  She went to bed at 8pm and woke up at 8am.  I felt as though I lived a life of luxery.  I had TIME on my hands!  I had TIME to be creative!  See...

The night before Valentine's, after dd and dh went to bed, I cut out all these hearts and wrote on each one reasons why I loved dh.  Then I taped them to the closet doors.  While dh ate his breakfast in the wee hours of the morning, he had a few things to read.  ;)  Then when he came home for lunch, I had crowns for my family.  I got the idea for this from my mom.  She was homeroom mother when I was in the third grade and she had made these crowns for our Valentines party.  You can see in the picture, dh is wearing his crown; dd is not.  She is more interested in giving Daddy the kitty cat Valentine's collar I had made.    

Here you can see dh crowning his little miss.  But she was not one to wear hats, or crowns, as you can see in the next picture.

However, you can see that dd liked seeing Slipper Kitty wear her Valentine's collar!   The cat, however, shared the same opinion of collars, as dd had about hats!  The collar did not last! LOL

You can read Kellie Ann's Flashback Friday too, and even join in on the fun!  ;)
