Happy Valentine's Day!

OK, so I don't quite have as much love for Valentine's Day as I do for Easter, but one thing that Valentine's Day has going for it is the potential for crafting.  A whole holiday revolving around cute paper products?  YES please!  Last week I hosted a Valentine's crafternoon and I wanted to share some of the amazing creations of my friends, in the hopes that it will inspire everyone everywhere to make someone a really great valentine.  Let's go back in time one week.  (As they would say in Wayne's World, "doodly doo doodly doo doodly doo...")

To fuel the crafts, I set out some cute finger foods.

(Note the in-appropriate-color-scheme Pyrex!)

My helper-friend Krystal, demonstrating how delicious (and festive) radishes are!

We had a great turn-out, despite it being Super Bowl Sunday.  I had to add more chairs to the table and wished I had left the extra leaf in for more glitter space.  The girls mid-craft:

(What's that you say?  What am I wearing?  What, you don't own a vintage cardigan covered in so many pink sequin it weighs five pounds?  I was trying to dress festive!)

The creativity of my friends never ceases to amaze me.  Check out the finished products.

OK, enough cuteness, let's go for some hilarious cuteness.  Put a bird on it, courtesy of Becca (and if you haven't seen the "Put a Bird On It" sketch from Portlandia do it.)

And further adorableness from Monica:

Are you overwhelmed with pink and red and amazing?  I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day filled with as much love, glitter, and chocolate as you can handle!
