Savvy Valentine Ideas!

LONG STORY:
I have been sick all week and so has my daughter.  Today, is the first day that I feel somewhat human and starting to think of ideas of what we are going to do for Valentine's day.  I thought of doing an idea I had done for my hubby years ago.  I purchased a bag of balloons (red, white, pink) and blew them up and put them all in the shower.  I had created a huge note and taped it to the shower that said, "I am showering you with LOVE!".  When he woke up in the morning to take a shower all of the balloons fell out...it was pretty funny!  The funnier thing was that in order for it to be a surprise I had to do it the night before so I spent a great deal of time in the bathroom blowing up the balloons...I have no idea what he thought I was doing in the bathroom for so long! 

So now that I have a Cutie Patootie at home with me I want to make this Valentine's Day special and I was looking around the internet for some cute ideas...WOW!  There are some super crafty and creative people out there!  My hat is off to them...I am not sure which ideas I will "borrow" but I will be sure to take pictures and let you know.  For now I wanted to share them...they are all cute but most are really FRUGAL too!  No need to run to the mall and purchase an expensive gift...these gifts are priceless in my opinion! Below are links to some really cute ideas!
