Aww, are you sure you can part with those sweet treats? Thanks for sharing on your birthday! :) Happy B-day on the 14th.
An "I-Love-You" note, a hug, a kiss, and maybe a little token like a favorite candy will be given to each of my "boys" (hubby and sons) for Valentine's Day.
I hope they know I love them everyday, but it's nice to commemorate the day!
Pat said…
Elaine, I absolutely love your art! Happy B'day in advance! I share my love with my family and friends by surprise gifts of chocolate or a small handmade gift. I show love to my husband with a great meal (home cooked or at a resturant) alongwith a bouquet of flowers, because he has been so wonderful and tolerant of my art and the time it takes to create. Hope to see you at A&S again this year.

Oh that bunny is soooooooooooooo stinking sweet! and so are you to offer one of your original pieces!!

Well here we keep it pretty simple, I make my hubsters card (i spend like 2 hours on it..why I am not sure..just do..lol)
and I make "Brinner"-breakfast meets dinner.
Which will be homemade heart waffles with homemade whipped Cream and berries. The heart shaped waffle iron came from my beloved Gram who passed almost 2 years ago. I love using it and knowing she would be proud.

hugs~

Elaine! He's adorable. Please throw my name in the giveaway hat.

Ways I share love with my family:
Sometimes I slip a note or special treat in their bookbag or lunch sack. I also like to draw cartoons on the lunch sacks for special occasions like Valentine's, birthdays, etc.

Oh Elaine, what a nice idea to celibrate your birthday in this way. Not getting presents, but giving them away. Like our Dutch Sint Nicolas on the 5th of december does. Valentine.s day in Holland is not been celibrated like in your country. We send postcards to the people we are secret in love with. But I like the idea of surprising my hubby and family. So I will invite the children and make a special Valentine diner. Thanks to blogs like yours I will have enough ideas how too. And yes, ofcourse I would like to win one of your great pieces.

Elaine, I just discovered you...uuuh, where...dang. I can't remember, but I sure lucked out!
I am in! The rabbit is fabulous!
I have a grandson who was born on Valentines Day. He gets a lot of red stuff.
My husband once gave me a vacuum cleaner for Valentines Day.
I remember looking at him and saying,
"Didn't they have a red one?"
So, my advise would be, don't bring your wife a blue vacuum cleaner for Valentines Day.

HI Elaine,

I remembered that Valentine's Day was your Birthday from last year. The way I show love ::: I have my Sunday school class make Valentine's for thos wh are seniors and others that are sick. I also make candy for my family and write each one a note. One year I put Valentines all over the Bathroom mirror so when Husband went in to brush his teeth he saw all the Valentine's....Hugs...Mary

Yikes! Only a month away... I have been a fan of yours on pfatt for a long time and I've never posted on your blog so in the spirit of love and admiration for all the fellow artists out there I figured why not? Spreading Valentine's love to me means pizza, sugar cookies in the shapes of hearts, a movie and an extra long walk for the dogs.

your rabbitt is adorable, and a happy early birthday! I love to hand make my gifts for my kids and my husband! I think I enjoy making the gifts more than my family enjoys recieving them! But, my daughter is now to the age were she notices the time that I put into things for her and my son and I love that she realizes that I spend so much time on something because I love her! Have a great Valentines!!

What a fabulous giveaway and a great way to celebrate the big day! My sweeties get a special homecooked meal and I might even do a little baking that day too. I also make valentines with my daughters, lots of doilies and glitter. xo, suzy
I'm a bit predictable when sharing the love with family and friends (baking favorite cookies, making heart shaped pancakes for breakfast- including a sweet treat and card in lunchboxes...) and equally predictable yet ANONYMOUS when sharing the love with colleagues. I practice "sneaky love," surprising recipients with post cards, garlands, a posy, a vintage valentine or a gift card, just because it's Valentine's Day- and never signed. I want the recipient to enjoy the sentiment and surprise, without feeling obligated to return the gesture. Enjoyment, not obligation- that's what makes gift giving so special!

A very Happy 40th to you- I'll catch up to you in December, two days before Christmas!

Hi...I share the love by spending the days leading up to Valentine's Day with my 4yo granddaughter. This year we are making beaded pipecleaner hearts for the residents at the nursing home where my daughter works. There are so many of them that don't have any family and are broken hearted when the holidays come and they aren't remembered. We are going to do something for St Patty's Day and Easter, too. I also am trying to come up with something for Mother and Father's day.

Aw what a lovely day to be born! I bet you were the best Valentine's gift a mother could ever want.

One of my favorite memories of Valentine's day was that we left our Christmas tree up until February, and decorated it with handmade Valentines and hearts...it was fun as a kid.

This year on Valentine's I will be visiting my husband who is away for some military training! It will be great to see him, and to be with him that weekend. I'm not sure what I'll do for him..but I'll think of something sweet.

And I will most likely be sending Valentines all over the states since I live too far from family and friends. <3

Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Elaine,

A Great BIG Happy Birthday to you, on the 14th! To share such a day, how very neat!

I found you on STJ (I am on there as well) and your work is amazing, to say the least.

For Valentines Day, I normally make my children a little V-Day card, with glitter and hearts of course.

At times we make HEART cookies as well. Hubby and I use to go out, but that evening is jam-packed full of others...so since we have children now, we normally all share the evening together with a nice home-cooked meal.

So very generous of you to have such a SWEET giveaway. Your bunny is just fabulous...Thank you.

Have a great week and stay warm, Elaine.

Many Blessings,
~Tonya
I hope you have a wonderful birthday!! I can only imagine how much L-O-V-E you will receive that day! I hope you have a wonderful birthday filled with LOVE!
I will do my best to spread love on that day. I am student teaching, so I am looking forward to throwing my first official "Valentine's Day Party" I want it to be something the second graders will L-O-V-E!!!
Christine said…
Hi Elaine, just found your blog through someone else's...love it so far :o) Please enter me in your drawing for the wonderful baby bunny!
I always make sugar cookie cut-outs (hearts, of course) and we usually order pizza or takeout so I don't have to cook! THAT'S a treat- for me!

Elaine,
How lucky for you to be born on Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day is a fully decorated one in my house. I change up some of the Christmas decorations, adding hearts and ribbon...and a Valentine tree. This makes it easier to cope with the lack of decorations after Christmas. When my daughter was little, I used to hold a tea...once we made hats, one time it was doll themed and we decorated chairs, once a teddy bear tea, once it was themed Alice in Wonderland. Now that the kids are older, we go out to dinner as a family, there's always plenty of flowers, candy and little gifts that day(which include some form of plush) It really is a month long celebration that has already started!
