This month has been going by incredibly fast! I think all the new hobbies are partly to blame. There is no excuse to be bored around this house anymore.
The mantle in the family room has become my creative outlet. This is what I created for this month. I whipped out the sewing machine to make us a LOVE insert for the frame and if you look really closely, I also sewed some cute little love birds to put in the birdcage.
I just simply cruise around Pinterest being inspired by others' superior creativity and then figure out how to make it work in our home.
Our photography class is still in session. We are both really enjoying it and I find it enjoyable to have a live in mentor that picks up all the technical stuff MUCH faster than I do.
Anyhow, here are more of our homework submissions.

Next up, Happy Love Day!
The idea of fighting of hundreds of others at a restaurant on Valentines Day has never appealed to me.
Instead, we whipped out the china (why have it if you never eat off it?) and indulged in some salmon for dinner. YUM.
Then, I baked. What?
Pineapple upside down cake. I did a very good job, it turned out fabulous.
I was just expecting a card, so I was surprised to come home to find flowers with a perfectly sappy and wonderful card. There were instructions in the card to find the rest of my gift in the freezer. Intrigued, I followed the directions to find this gem.
Be still this lactose intolerant girl's heart!
I miss ice cream.
I've been going through the stages of grief for a while about realizing I am lactose intolerant.
I think I was in denial for 3 years.
Anger for about 4 months.
Bargaining for about 1 year.
Depression probably during the same year as bargaining.
Now I am reaching acceptance and exploring all the non dairy substitutes that are out there.
I've been very good at avoiding dairy lately, but man. Who wants to live a life without ice cream?
Now I don't have to!
Seriously, don't knock this until you try it.
The man knows the way to my heart.
Steve got a card and a little bit of chocolate treat. I just failed to take a picture of it.
Hope you felt the love today from all those in your life!
