Date Night Jar

Jennifer at Life in the Green House posted a super cute idea on her blog.  I think I might make one of these for my little brown house :)

Using popsicle sticks and mason jars she made her own version of the Date Night in a Jar found here. 

It's color coded, easy to make, and takes the guess work out of  the "what are we going to do for our next date" question.

She has some fantastic ideas from at-home dates to dates that need advance planning.  Some of my favorites are: window shopping for the home, take out and board games, and the Chopped Challenge. 

Be sure to take some time and explore her blog...there is some yummy stuff on there!!!

Creative Love Letter Ideas

With Valentine's Day just around the corner what a perfect time to compose a love letter to your darling.  Through a different blog, I came across Loving Whisper that had some great ideas for creating a special message for your spouse. 

If you read about Roby and Josh's date- here is one they can try next time they try to get in the tub!

DIY Valentine Idea

Looking for a quick, easy, inexpensive, and cute Valentine gift idea?  How about a do-it-yourself Chalkboard photo frame that you can write love notes to your honey on?

Sweetheart Journal

You have just enough time to craft up a fabulous Sweetheart Journal for a cute Valentine's Day gift.  This original idea of Can-o-Dates and Sweetheart Journal came from My Creative Stirrings.  This site is full of other awesome ideas as well.  I came across the idea from my lovely blog friend Nikki's WhiMSy Love site.

Creative ideas to include in your journal could include: games (the dot game, tic tac toe), poems, letters, pictures, notes, comments about dates...include this poem inside your journal with the rules/ instructions on how to have fun with it!

This little book has a purpose for you,
Its use should be shared between two.
Simply write a love letter, a poem, or note
To the one you adore, love, and often dote.
Then, hide this book for your sweetheart to find
And wait for a reply that will tickle your mind.
Remember, be creative and have fun
You have only your spouse's heart to be won.
