Valentines Day Festiveness

Happy Valentine's Week!

This year I didn't really have much time to decorate as much as I have in the past, but I do have a few cute details around our home to share.

Pink tulips, homemade sugar cookies and The Meaning of Marriage - a perfect little coffee table combo.

And I totally slacked on the chalkboard for this holiday. I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that I just took down our Christmas chalk art this week, or that instead of handwriting a new design for V-day, I chose to just tape up a chalkboard print and add a banner.

  I didn't even go to great lengths to hide the tape. So yeah, that's about as much "decorating" as I plan to do this year for V-day. Friday night Matt and I are sticking to our Valentine dinner tradition at Cajun Queen!

Five on Friday!

  Happy, happy Friday!   - ONE - I am so ready for the weekend! Tonight we are heading Uptown for dinner and the Clefhangers concert with a group of friends. Tomorrow Matt's parents are coming in town to see our nursery progress and on Sunday my seester flies in to visit for a few days! So we have lots of good stuff on the books for the weekend! - TWO - Reminder! Don't forget to enter my Royal Design Studio Stencil Giveaway! Contest ends Tuesday!

- THREE - OPI's Heart Throb...the perfect Valentine nail color!

- FOUR - So, eh, Matt bought another gun this past weekend. I'm calling it his early push present so it gives me ammo {no pun intended} for when I pick my gift out. I blame my dad for this. Boys and guns. I mean, can you even call this a gun? It looks more like a military weapon and he's already purchased lots of scary looking accessories for it too. I digress...

- FIVE - Starting off Friday morning right with some festive Valentine donuts!
